Just in case people are starting to get worried about us stuffing our kids with rare roast beef, we try (!) to give them a healthy balance on the food front, so this lunchtime, we all carted off for Japanese. Japanese food here in Brunei is good quality and very cheap so it's usually a feast with too much ordered - 4 adults, 3 kids and all for 35 Euro !
Ayden is a recent convert and loves tucking into his mother's cold noodles although the kids preference is to sit in front of bowls of edamame beans, popping the beans out and happily crunching their way through.
None have mastered the art of chopsticks as yet but that will surely come shortly. Jack claims that he can but it's more of a stabbing effort followed by lots of hand action.
So today was a table full of food with Jack even attempting to eat the head off one of the pregnant fish, making his Dad very proud. Our biggest challenge no doubt when we next go back to Ireland will be explaining to the kids why we can't go for a Japanese lunch - mortgage's are quite expensive these days in Ireland - I hear that 40 year mortgages are the norm for first time buyers, but that's for another day!
