Annette's WONDERFUL Playground

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 ...

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 cust...

What's a vegetarian? A person who doesn't eat meat and animal products such as milk, egg or honey. There are many different types of vegetarians, such as Strict Vegetarian (No meat and Animal Products), Semi-Vegetarian (Occasionally eats poultry and fish) and Lacto-vegetarian (no meat but eats dairy products except egg), lastly, due to religion, there are some other items that this group of people doesn't eat. You must be thinking, why am I explaining this? It can be googled easily but there are people who doesn't understand this. I'm working in a normal restaurant, serving meat, seafood, dairy products, and etc... Once a while, I'll have some vegetarian customers walking in looking for vegetarian food. Something's it is a bit frustrating, trying to explain to customers why we have limited vegetarian dishes in our menu. It's not that we don't welcome vegans in a restaurant, but it seems like it is very difficult for a vegan to underst...
