Does anyone notice 'cooked food' is bad English?

'Cooked food' appears in almost every hawker centre. :bsmilie: :bsmilie: :bsmilie:
So means food isn't cooked? :bsmilie:

It's an absolute disgrace!!!!

I mean 'cooked' before 'food' is redundant.

okie got your point ;p
but still ain't considered disgraceful..
 

redstone said:
Saying 'cooked food' is like saying 'watery water'.

'clear transparent'
'red blood'
'cold ice'


An absolute disgrace!!!!
"COOKED FOOD"!!!!

AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't face foreigners....


hmm how abt partial disgrace? hahha
 

hmm..maybe coz of the non-english speaking hawkers using the direct translation??...or coz its also in a market so they dont want to mix 'cooked'' with ''raw'' food?....then ppl start following this trend??
