An Ikan Bakar Story

There once lived a man and a woman who visited a big shopping centre in a big town. Both man and woman seldom visited big shopping centres, and they enjoyed themselves immensely. Time flew rapidly for them and soon it was time for lunch.

The Big Shopping Centre In The Big City

The Famous Ikan Bakar Store

In this particular shopping centre, there was a very famous stall with famous Portuguese Ikan Bakar. The woman has heard of this stall before and its famous meal has once graced her lips. Indeed the food here was heavenly and she had a strong longing for it. Indeed, the food from there was heavenly.

However, to obtain food from this stall was a challenge.  Packs of hungry man-wolves normally circle this stall, fighting for their own share of food. To be able to get the food requires great skill, cunning and patience.

Packs of hungry wolves... err... men and women surrounding their prey.

In spite of this, the desire to eat from this stall did not disappear and instead grew as they circled the food court looking for alternatives. All the other food looked bland and unappetizing, or so the woman thought. She became miserable the further they walked from the Ikan Bakar stall.

The man, who loved her looked at her and thought, “Sooner than let my lovely lady be miserable, I will bring her some of the ikan bakar myself, no matter what the cost." 

Brave knight sets out on his quest for  FOOOOOOD!

Hence, he steeled himself and joined the braying pack at the stall. It took all his wits, courage and patience but he persevered. Once or twice, he thought all might be lost due to some unscrupulous wolves, in the end though, Lady Luck smiled upon him.

The fruit of his labours - the tastiest lunch ever!

And he managed to procure the tastiest lunch for his lady love, won her unending appreciation and adoration and they all lived...
