Travelling restaurant

Among the many strange sounds you hear when you are in town (because of course, you have now mastered all of the different calls of the forest..), there are those of the “traveling restaurants”. These are small carts, food stalls on wheels, that are carried around, equipped with everything to prepare all sort of food, from soup with meat balls to fried rice, to a dessert made of many different sweet and colorful things. What I didn’t know is that you can recognize what each one sells from the characteristic noise it makes to attract the attention: a clink-clink is soup, tlok-tlok is the rice, sdleng-sdleng is satay, and so on..
