东坡肉

Yesterday morning I was watching 小孩不笨2 tv series on Channel 8, and I probably heard the funniest and most ridiculous joke.
There is this chinese delicacy called 东坡肉. It is actually fat pork meat dish that is named after Su Dongpo, a literary figure in chinese history.
So the kid in the show said "东坡肉就是新加坡东部买的肉做成的菜", which means the meat that is bought from the east side (
东部) of Singapore (新加
坡) and made into the dish.
I burst out laughing so loudly that my mum thought I was mad. Come to think of it, it is quite silly.
