Visited a local Chinese restaurant Din Tai Fung for lunch with my family while holidaying overseas. It is so nice to be hanging out with my parents and nanny after not having seen them in person for almost a year.
Delicious dumplings. Savoury wonton soup. Crispy fragrant spring rolls. Etc, etc, etc.
Even the kids ate well. Kid E ate 2 rice bowls of fried rice and 1 bowl of noodles. Kid M ate 1 rice bowl of fried rice, 1 bowl of noodles and 5 soupy dumplings. I think it’s a huge achievement for fussy kids like mine. I had a really refreshing drink made of lime juice spiked with lemongrass.
Both kids hit their grandma (Popo) up for fancy stationery, which Popo was super-pleased to accommodate, because she only sees them once a year due to living overseas. So the little opportunists jumped at the chance!
