I hardly have the chance to cook for my parent simply because my mum’s cooking is my dad’s only choice  for all these years. For the last few years, i believe the only chance for me to cook for my dad was during the last Chinese New Year Eve dinner as mum was in Brunei. That was an unforgettable experience for me as it took me about 2 days just to prepare dad’s favorite dishes. Frankly speaking, i believe dad still prefer to have mum to prepare for the dinner if it is possible.

Few weeks ago when my sister was back in Kuching, she suggested to have a simple dinner at my home as we hardly have the chance to dine together. Well, i don’t have 2 days to prepare for it just like the previous dinner. Every thing has to be very simply so i just dropped by the supermarket to get some vegetables for the salad, a spring chicken and some lamb shoulder for oven roast. It seen like very simple and easy that all dishes can be prepared earlier but i still end up  spent the whole afternoon in my kitchen just to get the food ready by the evening.

Once again, i have to admit that my cooking was not my dad’s taste. May be it is a bit disappointing that i can’t prepare an appetising dinner for my dad but i treasure the chance to cook for my parent. Even though it was really a tiring and mind exhausiting process but it is worth for me.
