Asked mum where she wanted to go for dinner and she chose XO Minced Meat Noodles (XO 肉脞麵), a noodle outlet operated by Yew Kee (友記). Mum got herself the S$4.50 bowl of Chicken Cutlet Noodle (炸鸡扒面) with fried boneless chicken and a sprinkling of crispy tempura bits.
While I went for the Handmade Meatball Noodle (手工肉丸面) at S$5.50. I chose the same dry style thin yellow noodles but mine came with four deep-fried meatballs and a fried dumpling plus the tempura crispy bits. To end the meal, we ordered our Iced Milk Coffee and Kopi O or coffee black.

More British words because I thought words like carboot and bin lorry was normal:
Chuffed: This is when we're really happy- like 2am-singing-karaoke-happy. Odd I know!
Brolly: Umbrella. Yeah this one's a bit odd as well. I've never used it personally but some of my family always say "chuck us the brolly" or something along those lines.
Crisps: Potato chips. American's PLEASE don't kill me I want to live
Bucketin' down: A term used to describe heavy rain!
Gutted: Extremely disappointed. I often use this- very loudly, might I add- to the annoyance of my family
Bonnet: Hood of a car. I find this REALLY strange and have never used it myself.
So there's some British words! I hope you enjoyed them!🙂
REMINDS ME, another thing that was wild to me was how "chippy" gets applied to way more than just places that sell fries
I went thinking I understood everything, like, "Ok. Chips = Fries. Crisps = Potato Chips. Got it." But then partner would say, "wanna go to a chippy"
Me in my head: (wow you really like fries dont ya)
But apparently the truth is... that's just what they were calling a small restaurant you don't sit down at. Like a takeout place. A chippy can sell chinese food. A chippy can sell fries and hot dogs.
This took me an embarassingly long time to realize. I really just thought partner wanted fries constantly. I was beginning to believe there were special, hidden fry places that I just wasn't noticing.
I also found out that "spanner" is unironically a light insult but considering the fact I thought they were a Fanatical Fry Fiend for at least a week I probably deserved it. I WAS being a proper spanner.
