Tell me what you think about this.

This evening, Hei and I went on a dinner date at Himawari. A Japanese restaurant that serve ala carte buffet - includes shabu shabu and sukiyaki. Yums.

Anyway. Sitting next to us a group of 9 adults and 1 toddler. When Hei and I arrive, there was only 1 lady sitting at the table and when asked how many people will be coming, she said "8 adults, all buffet".

Soon after, her group of friends arrived and I noticed there were 9 adults instead of the original 8 she mentioned.

Then i realised 2 of her friends brought their domestic helper and what I thought was rather appaling was that the domestic helper did not eat. She was just busy feeding the toddler.

So the woman was right, 8 adult buffet dinner.

In this scenario, would you have just invited the domestic helper to have dinner together? I would. Hei would too.

Granted that it was about $40 per person, but if you are to bring your domestic helper out, why would you make her sit there just to watch you eat?

That's just cruel.
