At The French Restaurant
















On Sunday December 21st, we guys went together with the Grade 12 students to the French classmate’s restaurant “LA TABLE DE MR. EIFFEL” to enjoy the French food.
First came up some vegetables with the source, after waiting for a while, the waitress served a bowl of pumpkin soup with French bread. The third was the main dish, some chicken wings, duck and potatoes. Last there were the apple pies for dessert.
After finishing eating, I though that I had to go to the McDonald’s for lunch again because the French food was TOO little. I was still hungry after the lunch. Also, we did most of the waiting in the restaurant instead of eating which was really a bit tiring.
For me, I like Chinese food and eating habits better than the French ones as Chinese food is definitely much faster and a lot more. I think French eating ways care more about the manners and the surrounding feelings instead of the food. During the lunch, one thing I liked was the candles on the tables that created a feeling of harmony.
In addition, I was not used to the taste of the French food, I think they taste a bit strange, totally different from the Chinese food and that is one of the reasons I do not like French food so much.
Also, I felt quite embarrassed during the lunch, while I was nearly finishing my pumpkin soup, the waitress came and gave me the bread, she told me that the bread should be eaten with the soup!! I was almost done! I felt not so good about this… French people eat TOO slowly!
Anyway, different countries have different eating habits and I appreciate all of them as I do to the Chinese ones!
