The one about the day out in town with mum

 

The other day, dad went to attend a friend's daughter's wedding and mum wanted to go shopping. So we had a mother-daughter day out in town.

It was so crowded everywhere. We could hardly find a place to sit and rest...the malls in Singapore definitely need to provide more seating areas for families to rest while shopping.

We finally found seats at cafe #4. Mum couldn't even wait. She saw a vacant table and went to sit down immediately....while I did the official queuing. *LOL*

We were so hungry and tired at this point....but wait, we need to scan the QR code to see the menu, "join" the restaurant's program, order the food and pay before we got served. I really miss the good old days of flipping a physical menu and having a waiter take my order...and paying at the end of a meal.

You would think that it's a cheap meal but it was $60 (including tax and service charge) for a chicken focaccia sandwich and a sticky date pudding. 

Things are getting really expensive these days. Is it the same in your neck of the woods?
