Do I Look Dumb?

So, went for supper at Subaidah with Siew Mee and Aaron on Sunday night. And this Indonesian waiter came up to take our order.
Me: Soto ada?(it's not in the menu but since I miss it so much so I asked la, no harm what)
Waiter: Tak ada.
Me: ok, mi rebus.
Waiter: Mi rebus pun tak ada. (this is in the menu ok?)
At this point of the time, he took the menu from us and crossed out various sections in the menu and goes "ini tak adak, in tak adak, ini tadak, ini pun tadak" Since everything also tak ada, so I decided stick to my normal mee goreng mamak.
Waiter: Mee goreng ada banyak. ada mee goreng ayam, mee goreng pattaya, mee goreng "chotong"
Me: Mee goreng 'sotong'?
Waiter: Ya, "chotong".
3 of us were laughing our asses off already. I like sotong so I was thinking of ordering that, but since I'm not sure that "chotong" and "sotong" is the same thing, so I still stick to my mee goreng mamak. And then after he took all our order, it's expected that he leave and get our order to the kitchen right? Nope, he looked at me and asked me this question.
Waiter: tahu apa itu "chotong"?
I was like "wth, what kinda question is that?! But anyways, my parents always teach me to be polite so I answered.
Me: Ya.
So, there. He got his answer, so he is EXPECTED to leave and get the damn order to the kitchen rightttt? righhhttt? NOPE.
He goes,
"Apa itu 'chotong'?"Eh, negara saya cakap 'sotong', saya tak tau negara kau cakap 'chotong' ke apa. GET MY DAMN ORDER TO THE KITCHEN FOR PETE'S SAKE!
After all the chotong and sotong drama, my food turned out yucky. But he gave us 50 cents discount. Whatever.
