My brother had his exam on serving the other day so my parents brought a cousin of mine, my grandma and a friend of my mum's along! According to my brother, his group decided on a Halloween themed lunch. They had to come up with a menu, make the menu, decorate the restaurant and er.. serve!
I stayed up late the day before to help my brother make a halloween looking teru teru bozu cause he said his groupmates screwed up and forgot about all the decorations. Which means I have to cut out cloth, wrap up a table tennis ball, tie it with a fake rose I had to sacrifice MY bunch of flowers!), making it a hat and tie another ribbon!
So the next day I went there a little early to give my brother the teru teru bozu(s) and waited until it was time for lunch. My parents were so excited they were there before they officially opened. They were like: "NEHHH! Your son over there ah!" "Can see anot?"
Closer looks:
-_______________-
The restaurant was decorated quite nicely, with cut-out bats stuck on the window, (I couldn't take a picture cause the sun was directly glaring at our direction), a few pumpkins here and there and black roses and petals elsewhere. And I found my teru teru bozu(s)! It was right behind our table.
Halfway through our lunch only someone realized and picked one up from there and placed it on our table. (It was supposed to be on the table) At least I got back one of my teru teru bozu(s)!
Anyway.. about the lunch. My brother gave us a table that was in his station area. (We still had other waiters lah)
Each of us had a bread, (which my dad had laughed at the size and claimed it wasnt going to be enough, asked for a second helping before my brother left the table.) In fact, my grandma ate 7 slices! (She loves bread so much that we all gave our second helpings to her) I swear if she could, she would ask for take away!
We had a choice of apple juice, pink guava juice, pineapple juice or mocktails. It took them several trips to kitchen to confirm what they have cause they hadn't finish preparing and we arrived. And we were asking the waitress who doesn't understand Chinese, what was pink guava. Grandma: Guava got pink colour wan meh?
Grandma: Got a bit smelly! (They can't stand the milk taste). *keeps eating* I dont like the smell! But it's kind of nice. Me: -_____________________________- Brother: *Tries to hide his laughter*
Choice for Main Course,
Both of them tasted quite nice! (My grandma gave me a little bit of fish to try) I'm not sure about the fish, but if you want to prepare the chicken, you have to mince the chicken, stuff it with bits of prawn and mangoes, roll them back together into the shape as seen above and cook it! Sounds like a tough job. Especially you have a scary looking teacher behind you staring at what you're doing. O___o
All the while when my brother was around, we had conversations like : "Don't break the plate ah! Later no marks!" Dad: "finish the soup ah! Later Justin zero marks!"
My dad kept peeked at them. (My brother's girlfriend's family doesn't know that we're my brother's family, if you can understand what I'm trying to say) At one point his girlfriend slipped and the tray with two glasses of apple juice (I think) fell onto the floor. The floor was carpeted so there weren't any noise, and the teacher was looking the other way. My brother hurried to take away the glasses. His girlfriend was still trying to dab at the shirt, her grandfather was like :SHHHHHH! Never mind never mind! Faster stand up! Just as she stood up, the teacher turned around and, saw nothing. (My brother and the two glasses were already well hidden in the kitchen!)
Before we paid and left, the girlfriend came over and placed a few sweets on the table for us (the Halloween theme). Dad: "Why so litte?" Girlfriend: *walks back to the plastic pumpkin with sweets* and came back with another handful. "Nah, enough or not?" At that point we were already doubling over with laughter. In the end, all the sweets were given to my grandma. (She likes sweets. ._. )
It was a very funny lunch.
