All up it will be about $7000 worth of work. (Ouch!) I think it cost about $3000 or so back when I had them, which was a huge amount of money. I hated them even though I knew they were for the best. For a couple of years I did a Victoria Beckham and refused to smile, or I covered my mouth with my hand self-consciously. I had mine removed the day before my Year 12 (End of High School) formal. I keep telling Miss E that she'll thank me later. So will my Orthodontist who must be making a fortune given the trendy premises he works from. I knew I chose the wrong career.
Afterwards I suggested we grab some lunch before her mouth hurt too much to chew anything. And since it was just us girls, I decided to take her out for Yum Cha (aka "Dim Sum").
Spring Rolls, Fried Scallops, Pork Buns - All very good for the waistline - NOT !
Steamed Prawn Dumplings and Chinese Broccoli with Soy Dressing
A friend on Facebook commented that Miss E looked like an expert using chopsticks. Which is true because she learnt as a very young child when we travelled around Asia. When my husband worked in Malaysia we spent a long time over there with him and she just picked it all up. She is very easy-going and will try anything unlike Master R who is very fussy and the complete opposite.
We've travelled to Hong Kong a few times when she was younger. The locals absolutely loved her. In restaurants they kept slipping her treats and commenting on how she ate like a local. In Malaysia she charmed market stall holders and they'd give her exotic fruit to try. She is wonderful to travel with because she goes with the flow and is quite easy-going with what foods she will try.
All in all it was a wonderful lunch even if Miss E was more excited in getting a day off school.
