Always.

I think for me though it was just ingrained into me because I always watched mum do it and as I got older, helped her do it. There was one time before I was born though that mum needed to get the restaurants help - and mum almost never took any of us back to an eatery after it! My older sister decided to feed her fried rice to the fish in the fish tank and a chinese restaurant!

After that, mum got a chinese cook book and started cooking her own, lmao.
