Ap ap...

The husband did something he was immensely proud of yesterday night.

He managed to order duck from a Cantonese restaurant in Cantonese without me being there.

Apparently this is how it went:-

Husband :Mm goi tar pau yat chek siew ap (Please can I have a whole duck to take away)
Seller : Sai mm sai hei guat ah siew pang yau? (Do you need me to debone it, friend?)
Husband : Mm goi hei guat (Please debone it)
Seller : Hei guat ah? (Debone ah?)
Husband : Hai, mm goi (Yes, please)


The fact that he still spells 'ngap' (duck) as 'ap' kind of tells that he's not incredibly proficient but given that he's only had a partially cantonese wife for 6 years I think he's doing okay..

I think I've trained him pretty well no? Plus I get nice four season's duck for dinner tonight!
