This is a real story...while Im studied in secondary school, I did few part-time jobs during my school holiday, such as as a waiter in a restaurant, as a saleman in Bata Shoes Factory, and as a pump attendant cum clerk assistant in Petronas Station.
a
My 1st part-time job was as a waiter in a restaurant (that time Im studied in Transition Class), called "Nam Hoi Lou" Restaurant (南海楼）, and my big boss was my classmate's father. 1st day of work being a bad day for me, as no one guide me properly, I didn't know what (how) to do? So always get scold by the 2nd boss (big boss's brother). He scolded: "Why just stand there like a foreman and do nothing? If dont wanna work just go home...!"
a
After been scolded by him, so I start doing something, like get order from the customer crowd. There was a table of customers ordered "中国叉烧" with some other foods & drinks. Without hesitating & thinking too much, I went to the economic / fast food stall (经济快餐档）which incharge by 2nd boss, to make an order. Once he heard the words "中国叉烧", he shouted on me: "if drinks, please make order at drinks' counter...!"
a
Im a bit blur that time, but no choice, so just went to the drinks' counter and asked the girl who make drinks:"中国叉烧 order here isn't it?" She didn't answer my question, she lifted up a big tea pot & pour the tea inside a beer glass & past it to me:"Here is your 中国茶烧！" OMG, what a shame, it was "Hot Chinese Tea", not the Chinese Roasted Pork (ChaSiu) as I thougth......
a
As Im hardworking (it is true... :p), so at the last this 2nd boss (I called him B-哥）likes me very much & be so good to me...he taught me quite lots of things---the most memoriable one was the teaching on how to remove the bone from chicken claws. He was an expert, he can remove the bones from 3-4 chicken claws within one minute time!

here we seldom call the English name (chinese tea), unless the waiter/waitress is non-chinese or at certain restaurant, otherwise we just call "zhongguochasao"!

"烧"=hot (in hakka, otherwise we shall call 中国茶 "re de"), "peng"=ice (in hokkien).
