my obsession with chili sauce Maggie (^_^)

~chili sos kegemaranku~


oh chili sos maggie...
sudah lama ku xketemu anda di rak kedai kong...
ke mana kah kami menghilang...
even sweet chili sos ayam brand pn xdpt nk tandingi kesedapan mu yg mengjilat jari tu...
kau menyedapkn masakan...especially kalau masak mee gorg...
kau jugak menyedapkn cita rasa kalau dicicah dgn cucuq...
kau jugak menyedapkn lagi hidangan fish and chips yg slalu fateen bawak balik dr keje...
kau jugak menyedapkn apa2 jenis pizza kalau dimakan bersama...
wahai sos chili...
cepat2 la berada di rak kedai kong balik...
jgn la menghampakan peminat setia mu ini...
susah betul nk jmp anda di rak itu...
setiap kali ke kedai kong...
slalu nmpk sos chili maggie with garlic n sos maggie tomato je...
tapi bayangan mu hanya la skali skala...
oh uncle kong...cepat2 la order sos chili maggie...
(uncle nih nk untung k xnk???)
even keropok smith sweet chili pn xdpt nk tandingi anda...


p/s: sorry for the "over-obsession" on the Chili sos Maggie nih...tgh bosan2..lol
