Famous Tao Sa Piah

Just take a look :

The banner says it so!
And truly, around this time, the queue at the stall is almost never ending.

I thought of going earlier (say 3pm) to beat the after-office-hour crowd. I expect more people to rush down there after work to make the almost last minute purchase.
Guess what? I lost to the aunties/housewives lah..
When I reached at around 3:30pm, the queue was already there.

I waited and waited and finally I was number 2 in the queue. Erps.. no more stock and there was a pause in sales while the baking was still on-going. I was quite sure, when the next tray came in, I would be able to take my share. No leh.. I was wrong. Not too long after, indeed a new tray came in. The person just in front of me asked for 50 and that practically swapped up everything in that tray and I have to continue to wait for the next new tray to come in. Argg.. But when my turns came, I also asked for 50. :P
(not as retaliation hor.. I was getting for family and friends.. )
Anyway, I was sure I had heard the aunties at my back were making some comments. Somewhat like "哎哟，没有我们的份咯".

People are so willing to queue for the freshly baked (not just famous ok) Tao Sa Piah. I observed that once a big tray of Tao Sa Piahs was dished out of the oven, its content will be swapped up / packed / sold in less than 2 minutes. Impressive! Wa.. I’m trying to imagine the profit rolling into their pockets.

Before I left the store at around 4:30pm, I noticed the queue was as long (if not longer) than when I first joined the queue. Mm..

Queuing can be boring. Only the thought that I was getting something for family and friends made the experience more bearable or even worthwhile. Haha..
