A Different Kind of Lunch

To celebrate the CNY, lunch was a catered buffet.
For the residents, the meal was a plateful of mee-goreng (fried noodles) and some curry chicken. For dessert, there was sweet yam paste. We all shared a tray of "lo hei". There were barely enough for all and we could only get a spoonful of the new year delicacy. Right after we have had our lunch, the staff started their lunch with more trays of "lo hei" and come away with little platefuls of the sweet died fruit from the tray. Many of the foriegn staff hadn't acquire the taste buds for savouring it and after a mouthful, some of them dump the plateful of the dish into the dustbin while we watch with doleful eyes.
For the staff, lunch was a plate piled high with food that look deliciously mouth-watering. There were prawns with their shells on, mushrooms with broccoli, braised duck meat, fried chicken wings on top of the other simple food. Some residents returned from their medical checkup and were given their share of mee-goreng, but one resident discovered that her lunch was not kept and was angry and refused to eat.
