1st stop: xie4 ke4 huang2.we read it the other way round, as 'yellow shelled crab'! mum asked if i really wanted crab at 11am in the morn,and i said yes.
(translated)
'is there yellow shelled crab?' (cause all i saw were buns w diff flavours sold)
'no.there's xie ke huang which are all these.'
omg.it was so funny!xD i felt silly,but we still bought yam,red bean and sesame flavoured buns there.LOL :D
