Best and worst
I was in Hong Kong with my other half about this time last year. Say what you like about that place, the food is fantastic. We had a soup starter followed by roast goose, followed by an entire (beautifully cooked) lobster with noodles and cheese sauce. For the equivalent of £10 a head.

Best meal I've ever had. And the worst.

Because we were with her semi-estranged father. A man she described with the phrase "Don't worry about him hating you. He will, but he hates everybody".

I defy anyone to enjoy a meal where they are obliged to share the table with a man who hates their guts, while trying to eat lobster - coated with the world's most slippery cheese sauce - with chopsticks in a posh Hong Kong restaurant, watched with barely disguised amusement by what felt like half the clientele.

At least her dad seemed to enjoy my misery.

That's more than you can say for anyone on here.
