Sometimes, it's kinda frustrating to eat out, as we would be yelling and reminding the children the same thing over and over again, for example: "Sit down", "Don't shout", "Stop fighting", "Stop playing with that"
Or it'll be the case when the food is served, and one of them demanded to be taken to the loo.
Worse, after out from the loo, another one wants to go then.
Or worst, they want to poo instead of pee only... *shake head*
So, that's the downsides of having little children with us when we go dining. Not relaxing or enjoyable, to say the least.
Then again, we still would yearn to take them out after a long while. Else, what's the point having children when they are "caged" up in the house all the time, right? It's nice to have some family time outside and be pampered with some different cuisine, apart from having home-cooked food all day.
So, last weekend, we went out to eat la-mien "pulling mee". I was ready to capture pictures of our food when served.

Siao-long-pau came, and before I remembered to snap some pictures, it was all gone.
Shucks! I got to work harder when next dish is served.
And before I knew it again, the food came, we attacked them like a bunch of hooligans and it was all gobbled up before I remembered about my camera. Guess I never can make any good food review. Furthermore, I'm not very particular about food so much, as long as I have good company more importantly.
Things are certainly looking better now as the children are bigger, more controllable, and eating on their own. Only problem is they are eating larger portion now and we have to dig more cash out from our pockets to pay the bills. Sigh! Can't be everything good only, right?

I can totally relate to this. I have three to bring out.
Yeah I know how it feels. Especially if we go shopping for the whole day and Joanna starts getting cranky, you just can't enjoy your food at all.
All parents with young children have that experience. Some still have their hairs all in-tact and some have pulled all most of their hair (out of frustration) :-)
