I certainly remembered mine... my mom dropped me off at the workplace and we had lunch together.
That would have been ok if I was 13 working a casual job in a supermarket... but no. I was 21 and it was a full time, beginning of a career kinda job.
Mom was reluctant to have lunch with me that first day of work. After all, it wasn't primary school I was going to. But I am thankful she was there for me.
I never needed to have lunch with mom during a work day after that first day. And I don't think she minded at all. I found my feet, and a bunch of the most awesome people I have ever worked with after that.
Anyway, what has this got to do with the Ringwood Chinese Restaurant? The waiter serving us was wearing a white business shirt straight from the package, complete with fold marks. It just reminded me of a high school kid going to work at his first paying job.
He did pretty alright for a newbie. The food was not bad as well. We ordered seafood and tofu hotpot. It had a generous amount of basa fish, prawns, cuttlefish, tofu and veges. The sauce was good with rice.
Cantonese beef fillet. The beef was tender and delicious.
The prices are a little higher than other chinese restaurants, but the ambience is good and the chef cooks good food. The portions are generous.
We did have a discount coupon which made the prices more reasonable. Overall I think the food is good, only that perhaps the prices need to be rethought to attract my patronage.
