Mummies, please read this....

Recently, while at work, I saw this: 
A mummy opened up my restaurants' menu and place it on the dining table, she then place her baby (Probably between 3-6 months old) on the menu, and started to change the diaper for the baby. :O 



A strange 'aroma' slowly lingers in the air, customers siting nearby started to search for this strange 'aroma'.

I'm a new mother and I think this is ridiculous. Why doesn't she go to the baby nursing room?

A restaurant is a place to dine and not a TOILET!!!

Why didn't she bring a changing mat?

Do you know that a restaurant's menu contains as much bacterial as the toilet floor?
Want to know why?

I do ask my staffs to wipe the menus on a daily basis, but please understand, during the weekends when it is so busy, we may not be able to wipe them at the end of the day. So normally on fridays & saturdays, we only wipe menus that are dirty = dirt that can be seen!!

I also seen ridiculous customers who uses the menu on the floor to stabilize a shaking table. Why don't they just ask the servers to help them. 

Some toddlers like to sit on the floor to play, so some parents will open up the menu, put them on the ground and place their kids to sit on the menu to play.

These are only some cases I've seen, there are more. Children vomiting onto the menu, kid's stepping on the menu with their shoes, customers accidentally drop some food onto the menu, and much more. Sometimes, if I see customers doing that, I asked for the menu back nicely and get my staff to clean up the menu. But how about days when I'm not around? 

There are also some inconsiderate customers who drop some sauce onto one of the pages in the menu, did not wipe the sauce off, but close the menu and return back to us. So when another customer request for the menu, and we passed them the dirty one. Sooo..... How would you feel?

Let's go back to the first scenario, if I did not see the mother changing diaper for the baby, and she return me the menu, and just nice, YOU asked for a menu, and I passed the menu to you... Eeww...

So after hearing this, will you still let your babies 'play' with the menu or to use the menu as a changing mat?

For me, I won't!

XOXO,
Annette

Mummy And Baby: Hospital Checklist

It is never too early to prepare your bags for delivery. You wouldn't want to run around the house packing your bag after your water bag burst. It is good to make sure your hospital bag is ready at least 2 weeks before your EDD, or even earlier. And it must be place somewhere where it is easy to access in case of emergency. Make sure your family members, siblings and husband know where the bag is, so in case you really forgot, they can help you to bring over to the hospital. So what should we pack in the bag? I will list them out in 4 different parts. 1. Documentation  For Admission:  1. Mother's IC 2. Admission Form For Baby's Birth Registration 1. Mother's IC 2. Father's IC 3. Marriage Certificate Do check with your hospital for the required documents. 2. Mummy 1. Mobile phone & charger -  Keep your family members updated of your situation. Keeps you entertain while waiting and to take ...

Career Switch @ Age 35

If you have went through this, you will know how I feel.... Career switch at age 35 seems like a risk... I have been in the restaurant line for the longest time already, and I spend the last 11 years in my previous company working hard to achieve who I am today. And poof, it's all gone now!!! What is the reason for this career switch and why? It is all because I AM A MOTHER! For the past year, I realize that I am always tired, I got no time to see my baby at all! She's still sleeping when I go to work, and she would have already fall asleep when I reach home! On my rest day, all I wanted is to sleep as I am so tired. I've grown fatter than before, putting on so much weight, I could only hear my parents telling me Baby Joy starts to crawl, she's calling 'Ah Ma', but I never get to see all her first time! I thought to myself, it's time to change! I need to be there for my girl, be part of her childhood, be there whenever she needs me! And the next thing I know...

Niku Kappo by Watabi

It's been a long time since Mr Wonderful and I have a date. Glad to spend some private time together for dinner without Baby Joy! It was a surprise dinner date (3 weeks ago) as he just SMS me the venue 5 minutes before I off work.  When I reach the restaurant, there was a big crowd outside, waiting for tables. Mr Wonderful got 2 seats at the Sushi Counter which is our favorite whenever we dine at a  Japanese Restaurant.   There's a welcome drink for everybody. Never got to know what drink is that as the servers are always busy. We had a hard time trying to get their attention as everyone is attending to tables. There were a lot of table services such as tossing salad and cooking Sukiyaki by the table side.   My welcome drink   Quite nice, a little minty. The chilli padi looks scary, but you don't taste that at all... Wagyu Toro Sushi $7.90 I am not a fan of raw beef, so I've got nothing much to saw about this. But the beef literally 'melts' in my mouth, so make ...
