昨晚爸爸想吃龍蝦,一家三口高高興興地去了明星.
爸媽選了海鮮,點了例湯和青菜,湯和菜先來,大家邊吃邊聊,一會兒主角上湯龍蝦上桌了!
躺在伊麵上的龍蝦塊加上晶瑩的上湯汁特別誘人,橙紅色的殼包著雪白爽口的蝦肉,看上去火侯剛好,大家都急不及待舉筷大饞.
正準備咬第一口,媽媽突然驚叫了一聲,用筷子從嘴裡取出一塊白白的東西．
還沒看清楚那物體,已聽到媽媽在嚷「點會有香口膠o架!」
「唔係呀馬?!」心裡邊想邊把那白色物體拿起來拔一拔看...哎呀!(@_@)
叫了服務員來,她慌忙地收拾了桌子.媽媽還驚魂未定,有一位部長過來向我們解釋說那是龍蝦的腦部而並非口香糖;然後說會為我們取消那order;就走開了.
瞎說!
龍蝦,大的小的,那個部分我們沒吃過?!那白色物體的彈性絕對不可能是龍蝦來的.
一句道歉的話都沒有,媽媽越想越生氣,把那部長叫回來交涉,要求道歉.那部長馬上說了一聲不好意思,仍在那邊砌辭解釋.誰也看得出他根本只想大事化小,快點了結事情,根本沒有想查出原因想對策.
深覺媽媽被欺負受委屈,氣上心頭,嚴辭投訴我們的不滿.
也許我嚴厲時的樣子真的很可怕吧,那部長馬上收斂了許多,說會waive了整張單.
不過我們堅持付了我們已吃過的東西.
父母年紀大了,思路沒以前快,處理感受然後用言語表達出來的能力也不及從前.
現在該是我來保護他們,為他們出頭了--就像我小時後他們保護我一樣.
想起了for one more day 裡主角記述'the time my mother stood up for me' & 'the time i did not stand up for my mother'.
I'm glad that I can proudly say: this is when I stood up for my mother.

I have thought of an idea, have the bill waived still but the charge could be donated to charity. The service is so poor that the restaurant deserves to be punished, though just nominally. Imagine the unnecessary unpleasantness caused to you, auntie and uncle.
That's a good idea! Mom still can't eat chewing gum now... :(
We should have even called the 食環處 at that time and not letting them take away the dish...
That's also a good idea. Could 食環處 still be informed of the event now, for record's sake? Could the event be posted at the chatroom/website of yahoo, say, so that more people are aware. What I do not like is the captain's attitude, giving an 'explanation' and just walked away. This restaurant has big problems, about its quality of food and service.
