The day after.

The day after the opening night…

Went to sleep at 1am after half-heartedly cleaning up a little. Waking up to a kitchen full of dirty pots and pans, is *not* my idea of a relaxing Sunday.  I’m just thankful we managed to wash the dishes and glasses the night before.

Thoughts about the opening night:

• For our first time, I think it went well.   EVERYONE loved the food – even though they’d never had most of the things on the menu before! So that definitely makes me feel like it was worth it.



















• Panicked a little bit (just a little ) when a few guests arrived early. So from now on, we’re changing the dinner time to 7:30pm and will need to get prep done more in advance.
• Was a bit disappointed that 3 people canceled at the last minute. In order to avoid this from happening again, have decided to sell tickets prior to the event.

Mum enjoyed last night! I knew she would. She always enjoys having people round for dinner and feeding everyone. That’s a typical Chinese mum for you!

The boyfriend?  He’s ok – still allowing me to hold the next event.  That’s good enough for me!

And I? I’m *exhausted*!! And there’s SO much more cleaning up to do…

But it’s a satisfied kind of exhaustion…

Mama Lan is officially up and running – YAY!!!!!!!

Love,

Mama Lan
