visit to dad's workplace

My brother drove my mum and I to my father's workplace for dinner. My dad currently works at a japanese cuisine stall in Changi Airport, terminal one basement one. It is not as grand as his old workplace, Hisatomo Family Restaurant, but it seems like the business is still pretty good. All the staffs were ex-colleagues in the restaurant, and hence their culinary skills and food quality are probably better than a typical foodcourt stall.

My father was in the kitchen when we arrived. The stall owner saw us first and immediately recognised my mother. My mum chatted with her for a short while, before the stall owner asked if we wanted to try their food. It was an awkward moment because I kind of knew that if I ordered anything, she would not charge me for the food. She recommended some of their all-time favourites, and said she will get me a set containing a mixture of tempuras, cutlet and stewed chicken to try.

When the food was served, there was no sign of cutlet. Apparantly, my dad decided not to cook me any fried food other than tempuras :) The stewed chicken tasted really good though, despite looking pretty plain.

In addition, I had a chocolate milkshake (if you are curious about why would I ever order chocolate flavour, it is because my brother somehow ordered my flavour, strawberry, and brothers just cannot order the same stuff especially when its pink in color hehe), and shared a banana split with my mum.

My dinner

After that, we just walked around the airport aimlessly, while waiting for my dad to clear up and get off work. Of course, going to Changi Airport means that I have to satisfy my craving for Popeye's mashed potatoes. My brother bought me a two-piece chicken meal with upgraded mashed potatoes to bring home for supper. We somehow lingered there for over three hours in total and parking costed over $4!

When we reached home, my brother told me that I can keep this camera for myself! Yeah :)
