                <media:description>SINGAPORE - FEBRUARY 03:  Customers wait in line to buy &quot;bak kwa,&quot; or sheets of Chinese barbequed meat, at a counter in Singapore, on Sunday, Feb. 3, 2008. Eddie Yap&apos;s mother gave her son an ultimatum as he left on his day off to join the queue for &quot;bak-kwa,&quot; or flat sheets of barbequed pork, in Singapore&apos;s Chinatown district: Don&apos;t come back without it.
