It was just me and the kids today so i gave them a choice and they chose a restaurant concept created by Movenpick (the ice-cream people) which is one of their favourites. We shared a plate of rosti, DD had a whole plate of deep fried soft shell crab (can't begin to tell you how out of character that choice is for her) and DS had a pizza (no surprises there). I felt full after just a tiny slice of pizza and one piece of crab so DD failed to finish hers. DD and I had ice cream for desert while DS had a custard filled crepe with strawberries.

we never made it to the Hokkien restaurant - it was raining too much. Went to a quite fancy dim sum restaurant, and I failed to pay quick enough and ended up in my PILs' bad books. Not a good evening. Highlights of the Thai food were of course green curry and pineapple rice, along with garlic chicken and asparagus. One failed dish - DS insisted he wanted mango fish. He won't eat fish normally but he loves mango. I finally gave in with the proviso that he paid if he couldn't finish... the mango sauce was covered in chilli and he struggled through three large pieces of battered fish before admitting defeat. It was a brilliant win-win situation for me, complete with a moral lesson on greed!!

and people say I've wasted my law degree on motherhood!
