Well, dinner nowadays at home is way much different from when I was still a little girl. Back then, my mom didn't use to work so she had LOADS of time to cook and bake for all of us. I still remember moments of us ( me and my sister ) helping her to bake my birthday cake. Oh gosh!!! How I miss those days 😭 . I also remember some of her dishes that I haven't eaten again since forever like apple and blackberry crumble, laksa Johor, Victoria cakes and many more. I'm literally drooling here haha just kidding.
However, now we always eat outdoors or buy take-away food and eat at home. My mom RARELY cooks - only when me and my sister and brother come back from hostel or during weekends. My dad on the other hand has never ever cooked for us (as far as I remember hehe). As sad as this sounds, I think this makes my mom's cooking even more special. When she cooks it feels like it's Eid already! Plus, she always cooks her five-star meals like lasagne, chilli crab or tomyam. I try to cherish moments like these while I still can.
Even though our eating styles have somehow changed across the years, one thing's still the same for sure. NO TALKING, NO GADGETS AND NO PLAYING AROUND WHILE EATING. Be it at home or outdoors, these strict rules put by my dad will always stick. My dad's very particular when it comes to these matters. He really wants eating time to also be family-bonding time as we don't really gather together at other times. I may have seen these as silly rules when I was younger but I think I understand now why he put them in the first place 😊 .
So, I think that's about it. My eyes are starting to tear up already. I hope you guys enjoyed my post. Feel free to drop down any comments aye. Have a nice week ahead! Bye 😉 💜 .
