Rice Box Hong Kong

We searched our lunch at Citygate outlets. It was not much dining options (e.g Japanese & Western restaurant ) in Citygate outlets and we also not interested on these restaurants. We wished to try the Hong Kong foods and beverages all the times. Other countries' cuisine could found in Malaysia too. 

Thus, we randomly entered the supermarket for lunch hunting. Luckily, we spotted the economic mix rices stall. I had no idea how Hong Kongers called such rice stall and forgot to ask the auntie in charge. Both of us just looked at the meats,vegetables and wondered which should we had. Finally, we decided to order 2 single rice boxes. Each rice box had 1 type of meat or vegetables only (yes, I was very "kiam siap" (i.e stingy)

The customers took away the rice boxes. I can't see any dining tables and chairs. 

3 types of rice boxes: 

1) Single set (单拼)- 1 type of food
2) Double set (双拼) - 2 types of foods
3) Triple set. (三拼)- 3 types of foods

Once I saw the above food tag, really not understood and finally asked the guy next to me about these meaning. The price charged differently based on the types of rice boxes. Needless to say, single set of rice box was cheaper than double and trip set rice boxes. 

 All these foods looked similar with economic mix rice in Malaysia
 Even the smells and cooking methods. I believed the taste buds of Hong Kongers alike Malaysians too. We can adapt the foods of Hong Kong easily and smoothly. 

Wide varieties of fishcakes 
Our thrifty side caused us to order 2 single set of rice boxes. Both of us can share with each other because the big portion of the rice boxes. 

The first auntie shocked when saw us ordered 2 single rice boxes. She also clarified with us the meaning of single set rice box. She was not willing to serve us by showing the sour face when we insisted to have 2 single rice boxes. Hence, the second auntie in charge served us after that. The second auntie at least better than the first one because she displayed her smiles throughout the serving process. Will the second auntie understood us? Never mind, I was not expected Hong Kongers to understand us.
