Roti Boy or "Loti Boy"


On my way back home two days ago two chinese ladies were happily yacking away and were going down the stairs to get to Raffles MRT Station.... as we all now after the BUBBLE TEA craze in singapore its now ROTI BOY craze.

People seem to be lining up in orderly fashion just to have a bite of the famous ROTI BOY. But what caught my attention on that day was the ladies' pronounciation of roti boy.... well, the simply said in chinese, " today u wan to buy "LOTI BOY" i repeat LOTI BOY!!!!! Further more the two ladies seem very young somewhat like in their mid twenties.... hence i was shocked though was a little amused as well. Now what is the problem with the R N L like in the Mel Gibson movie, " can i have a plate of fly lies instead of fried rice!!!!

I am not a racist.... but i strongly believe that prounciation of words should be perfect..... parents out there should be start early for your kids as i am sure you don't want your kids saying LOTI BOY and embarassing you right?
