Your Asian mom

As the title says, I am reviewing the cafe with negative comments after my first and last visit. Had good recommendations from acquaintances about how delicious those food are, decided to give it a try on weekend. Husband and I were surprised that the place was full and there were only half slots for patrons to share tables. But, the empty space was as messy as rubbish bin, no need to mention the floor. I insisted to leave to other restaurants available at the Karamunsing capital or other areas. But husband already sat on a half table hoping the crew would clean up the mess, but the worker only did so on the former's third call. We took turn guarding the half table..when it was my time to take the buffet spread of asian delicacies such as hinava, sambal petai, fish and etc, there was no plates. I waited and stood almost five minutes  before they took another stack of clean plates.  Ordered a warm water and laici bandung right after we were about to dig in. My angry meter started to

Lucy's kitchen is well known to foodies especially those with sweet tooth. But, I am not going to do review on its food. More to the restaurant's staff. As of now, there are two branches in Kota Kinabalu that include Taman Sri Kepayan near airport, and the other one is at Metrotown. While I live in between two outlets, we usually go both.  Yesterday was the fourth time we brought baby to Lucy's kitchen, despite of different workers on each visit, they would definitely over baby-friendly.

"Wei...the parents are around"!!!!! What if they didn't wash hands after toilet business? What if baby falls down when they carry her around? What if they spread flu/cough while handling the fragile baby? As a

As baby turns eight-month-old, it also means that I had sacrificed every single days during that period paying most attention to baby and seldom to myself.  In a month, I work 22 days while the rest are my off days. Although it looks like I only take a whole eight days with baby, but bear in mind that every nights of those months I have to lull her sleep.  Aside from that, I have the duty to cook dinner for the three of us including husband and babysitter.  Additional cleaning up the toilet in master bedroom which easily get dirty as husband is also using it.  Even if I took a day off in two months to visit salon and spa, yet I still feel unsure or guilty for leaving baby with babysitter as I hardly trust others will take good care of the former as I do. After all babysitter, although is my younger cousin, she might feel tired and thus being negligent in caring the baby.   Mom, on other hand, is sort of assuming very important duty at church that she has to be there for all occasions a
