Conversation on Ayushi and Victoria and Waiter:
V:Yum..Dog meat...I like.

A:Eek!I hate dog meat,, I can't bear to eat such a lovely animal.

V:After all, it is not everyday you get to eat dog meat.

A:I don't care what you say...WAIT!I thought it is illegal to have dog meat in Singapore.

V:Good point...We should ask the waiter.
(Victoria waved to the waiter)

W:Yes, what do you want to order?

A:Excuse me Dog meat are illegal in Singapore and why are you selling it in Singgapore?

W:I think you got the wrong concept.The chinese text for that dish had a typographical eror and the english translation was incurate because our boss was not familiar with the language. So it is not really dog meat, it is pork meat.
V:That;s why...
