‘A family that eats together stays together’.I am a firm believer of this saying.People often overlook the importance of sharing a meal with your family.According to The National Centre on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University,kids and teens who share family dinners three or more times a week;Are less likely to engage in risky behaviours such as drugs and alcohol;More likely to eat healthy food and last but not least,have better relationships with their parents.Thus i always see to it that i have a meal with my family at least thrice a week,my main motive being able to spend and cherish the time i have with my family. “When was the last time you had a meal with your family?”
I have chosen the Family Feast set meal from ‘Burst Burger’ restaurant. My family love western cuisines which is why the Family Feast set meal was most appealing to us.Firstly,smorgasbord of choices of dipping sauces western cuisines offers is just ‘chef’s kiss’.Dipping sauces add the perfect finishing touches to the meal,sauces such as ranch sauce,barbecue sauce and chilli sauce are my and my family’s personal favourites.Additionally,my family are gluttons and western cuisines are best suited to appease our colossal hunger.The Family Feast set meal contain large portion of meats such as chicken and beef patty .Besides that,there are also pizzas which can perfectly fill all of our stomachs and tantalise our tastebuds.Just the thought of gobbling up all the scrumptious and delectable food is making my mouth water.
On Eat With Your Family Day 2019,my family and i has cleared our schedules to make ourselves available just on this day to spend quality and precious time together. In preparation for the Family Feast set meal,my family and i will be strapping on our hiking shoes and trek up Mount Faber Park in the morning where we all will be able to reap the benefits of our hiking efforts by enjoying the spectacular scenery that the peak of Mount Faber Park has to offer.We are also planning to capture these memorable moments through pictures which can serve as a token of remembrance for all of us.After that, we will be returning back home to play old-school games such as the ‘Marble game’ , ‘Pick-up sticks’ and ‘Five Stones’.This will aid me and my siblings to experience what our parents have experienced during their childhood years,helping us have a deeper understanding and bond with our parents.This will also relive the memories our parents had and they can reminisce about it.Lastly, for the highlight of the day,the Family Feast set meal from ‘Burger Burst’ restaurant.After all these activities, we will be as hungry as a wolf, we can savour and relish the irresistible and ambrosial beefy burgers,grilled-to-perfection chicken wings and the list goes on.We will also take this time to catch up on each other fast-paced lives and take a trip down memory lane about the times where my siblings and i were still mostly dependent on our parents and the sad and happy moments we shared right around the table.
