When I was visiting supermarket one day, I came across a canned food called Limpets. There were Chinese characters written on it but my mandarin was not that good because I was a quarter of Banana – yellow (Chinese skin color) outside white (Western skin color) inside. Actually I dropped my mandarin lesson after Form 3 public exam because it was the only subject which I did not score an ‘A’ (I ‘kiasu’ - scare of losing), in fact I scored a ‘C’.
So, at first I thought it was a local food targeted the locals because the name same as Hokkien word of saying ‘myself’ - ‘Limpeh’.
After checking wikipedia, I then realized that it was a kind of snails which Chinese love to have it on steamboats.
Silly me, thinking that this expensive stuff is a pet food for Lim’s Pet.
