No kosong?

We were at Newton Circus hawker centre and unlike tourist, we ordered stuff like chinese rojak, chicken rice and popiah.  We decided to treat Josh to his fav roti-prata…  So I carried him and excitedly told him that we were going to order prata. Jen said,”okay, this time just order 1 for him.”(he gobbled up two the last time and for a 2.5 year old kid, two pratas should be quite a lot… That’s how much he loves it). Happily, I went to the nearest store and ordered, “one kosong, please.” Lo and behold, the owner said, “we don’t do kosongs in Newton, only Murtabaks.” I felt faint but held steady and mustered my most dumbfounded look and walked away.
