Singaporeans Eat 6 Times A Day!!??

A mere 12 hours ago, while watching Two Weeks Notice on my lappie, my good mate from France, BBR, decided to click upon me for a quick chat before he went out to eat at a restaurant to celebrate his impending 23rd birthday.

As we began with our normal bickering, continued with the comraderistic banter & went on with the constant clashing of words, I wondered, how the heck could one eat dinner at that late an hour??

His reply was that the French ate 3 meals a day, unlike us Singaporeans who eat SIX meals a day.

Of course, I was mildly insulted & did not hesitate to say so. But, he stopped me in the midst of cursing the air blue & went henceforth in explaining a listing down of the 6 meals he was talking about previously.

1. 7am - Breakfast
2. 10am - Morning Break
3. 12pm - Lunch
4. 3pm - Afternoon Break
5. 7pm - Dinner
6. 10pm - WONTON NOODLES ROXX!!

Quite appalled, I was torn between laughing & giving him a slap if I ever saw him again.

But, putting aside my reactions, could it be true?? That Singaporeans actually DO consume a whole lot of time having breaks & eating?? Maybe Chippy does, I don't know. He is rather notorious for his milk tea-drinking sessions, I'm surprised the aunties manning the drink stall doesn't offer him 2 cups for the price of 1 despite him being a regular customer & all. Although, it could be possible due to the fact that he doesn't need the extra fattening-up than he needs to have.

Funny that a foreigner could come up with this deduction, ehh?? Or, maybe HE was the one who practiced this ritual while he was doing his overseas project attachment here.

Myehhhh...
