Birthday Dinner

So where did we go to celebrate Ah Kong's birthday? Well, since we could not make it on Sunday (daddy & mummy had to attend a wedding dinner), we celebrated a day earlier. Well, we asked and asked Ah Kong to think of a place to go for dinner, but he could not decide.

What to do? So we took out Friday's newspaper that has a listing of where to eat. Scanned through and still could not decide. In the end, we finally agreed on Ribs Barbeque Restaurant on Burmah Road. Ok, the last time we tried to eat there, they didn't have any tables available. So this time I called ahead to get a table. And we got one. So the moment we arrived, we got a seat, ordered our food and even a main course for you. What next? Go for walkie lo.. What else? It's your favourite thing to do while waiting to be served dinner. Don't know where daddy took you to. But when mummy's soup was served, I could not find you. Had to call daddy on his phone. Soon, we were sharing yummy pumpkin soup.

Our main course was served shortly. As for your order... We waited and waited and it never arrived. We noticed other tables being served and so daddy checked with the waited. Guess what? He never took the order! (Of course they did not let that on, but it's obvious since he quickly ran to the kitchen with a piece of paper and walked over to say that it was "on the way"). Of all orders, he had to leave out your order. After waiting forever, it finally arrived. But you were no longer hungry. You'd drank most of my soup (thankfully!) and eaten my potato wedges and other things. So in the end, daddy finished off most of your fish. What did the restaurant do to compensate for the delayed food? Free ice-cream for all of us, including you.

The food was good. Only thing that the "hiccup" made me rather unhappy as they had left out your order (maybe he didn't expect us to order a main course for a little guy like you?). Maybe next time we have to ask them to repeat our order to make sure this does not happen again...
