·In the future…
For my mother's birthday, my father decided to invite the whole family to the nicest hotel in the city. We had dinner at the Shangri-La hotel, and it was the first time I’d ever been to such a fancy restaurant.
The Shangri-La is the most renowned hotel in my hometown. It's a prestigious five- star palace, and only rich people can afford to stay there. I was amazed by the setting: the ceiling in the hotel is extremely high, and the place is really well-decorated with paintings and chandeliers. It is a pleasure and a privilege to eat there.
My father booked a table for the three of us as well as my grandma on my mother's side of the family. He put our names down for the buffet, so that we could eat everything we wanted, and as much as we liked. It was absolutely incredible！There was so much tasty food available, you wouldn't believe it！First of all, the sea food, with crab, lobster, shrimps and oysters…I filled my plate twice, and I enjoyed every bite！Then I went to get meat: the beef filets were stunning, and the pork chops were out of this world！Later on, we had dessert, and my father kept on getting chocolate pudding. I completely fell for the apple pies.
My grandmother did not eat that much because she says she must be careful with her diet, because of her health, but she enjoyed looking at us feasting（＝eat a lot)．My father told the waitresses it was my mother's birthday, and they gave us a cake to take home. They also brought many little cup cakes with candles on them, and we all sang the birthday song. My mother laughed a lot, and I think she was sincerely happy.
It was a memorable meal, and I hope to get a chance to go there again soon, although I know it must be very expensive. I think that in the future, once I have a great job, I will invite my family to such restaurants on a regular basis, because it is truly enjoyable to eat in a top-notch classy) place like that.
