Answer 2

Last night, my father decided to celebrate the

promotion he had recently got at his job. We went to a newly-opened restaurant in our locality. A well-dressed man showed us to our table and handed us the menu. I ordered an egg biryani while my parents opted for dosas.

The restaurant was decorated with a chandelier

which hung in the centre of the ceiling. But when the food arrived, we got a rude shock - the biryani had not been cooked properly and the dosas were soggy. We

could not believe that a reputed restaurant would serve such food! We immediately called the chef and the manager. They offered an apology but by then, the food had spoilt our mood. I thought that a simple dinner at home would have been much better.
