this is one area where speaking Singlish certainly did not get us far:
we had Bird's Nest in Thailand, and requested for it to be cold. (7 people, but only 6 people wanted.) what came was warm and then being the typical Singaporeans we were, we muttered, "we wanted cold one." so the poor waitress took back all 6 bowls.
A while later, she came in again, with 7 bowls.
why 7? cos 6 warm and ONE cold. we kinda argued for a while cos they didn't really understand English. "nono,we wanted cold one....." "yaya!! cold! one!!"
Rrrrright.
