If you have ever been to the restaurant, you will know that there is something known as Special of the Day and also the usuals...

Special of the Day is something that I eager look forward to, but sometimes the higher the expectation/ anticipation, the greater the disappointment, but its the secrecy and enjoyment that makes my heartbeat thump faster sometimes, I like special of the day but I have learnt not to expect anything so that anything additional will be like a bonus and make my day even more. usually, the special of the day are fine and I really like it. Its as if there is unspoken understanding. I am willing to quietly enjoy the special of the day without complaint even if there is any bad thing bout it, I will keep all the negatives to myself. Special of the day is special, otherwise it wouldnt be called so. The thing that I dun like is as the name suggests special of the DAY, it is only for that day, so it makes or breaks your day, special of the day can just disappear, cos it doesn't belong to me, it belongs to the chef. So no matter how u may look forward to it sometimes, it just doesnt appear again. Too bad. Sometimes, the special of the day comes in a set, you have no control over your appetizers, main course, nor dessert. Everything may seem so perfect for the appetizer and main course, but the dessert can spoil your day, which I dun like cos i dun really enjoy ending a day on a bad / disappointed note.

The usuals are safe because you know what to expect. A typical main course that I would order is Fish & Chips (now less, trying to be more health-conscious though sometimes i spoil myself) or some beef or fish main coourse. I seldom order chicken when I dine unless its really special cos to me chicken can be easily prepared so its not worth to eat it outside. What I like about the usuals is that It is something that I picked out for myself, that means I made the decision myself and thus I am responsible for whatever happens. Normally, the dish that i pick out is something that I geninuely like, I admit I am not really an adventurous person when eating out, my orders revolve around the same stuffs. I have a few all-time favourite that I rotate around. eating something that you took time to choose and pick for yourself gives me a sense of happiness and joy when my dish comes. even if the location changes when I go to different restaurants, i can always trust and count on my all time favourite to give me that same dining experience. i feel secured and safe. There is little worries. All time fav seems to understand me very well, they seem to never disappoint me even despite my mood. And the best thing about all time fav is that it almost always seem to end on a good note, with the perfect complementing dessert, enhancing the main course.

Care for a dinner anyone?.... .....
