Mother's Day Meal

Happy Mother's Day to all mummies out there!

Mum wanted Chinese food. We made reservations at Si Chuan Dou Hua at UOB Plaza after not managing to get places at My Humble House and Taste Paradise.

The dish in the photo above was by far my favourite. Deep fried chicken bits drowned in lots of dried chilli and peppercorns.

The service at the restuarant however, left much to be desired. In fact, it was so bad that even my amiable dad who hardly ever gets upset at service got slightly riled at the end of our meal. My pregnancy hormones meant that I was controlling a burst of temper towards a particularly surly and rude waitress. At close to S$70 per head, I would have expected more decent service. I commented to the family that we get better service at our nearby Zi Char stall.

Thankfully, the mum was in a jolly good mood, and our family chatter and enjoyment of (most) of the food meant that we could more or less push aside the annoyances during dinner and agree that I could write in a complaint later on.

I don't yet feel particularly articulate so I haven't. I should soon though.
