I usually won't bring my maid along if we are going to buffet or any expensive restaurants as I have other family members or friends to look after my son together with me except on one occasion where it was my sister's birthday and she had a big party in a private room of a restaurant. And I needed my maid to look after my son. So I called a plate of spaghetti for her. She only ate half of it as she said it was very salty. I found out when we paid the bill that the spaghetti costs more than a hundred dollars. It's ridiculous. But of course it's not her fault.
Except that, I usually go out for meals wil my maid along. IF she can't finish her meal, she will take it away as lunch for the next day. She's quite happy with that. She's not a fussy person.
