high end restaurant vs home cooked meal

Home cooked may be cheap and stingy but I have no money for $100 a plate!!!!

 

sometimes there are reasons beyond monetary. if one is working, i'm sure they can afford to eat out everyday ... when that happens, you'll get sick and tired of eating out. you'll end up enjoying eating in more ... well, you can certainly create the romantic settings ...

 

you get to enjoy yourself more at home, and it's always fun to clean up after!

 

nah man. home cook is more fun.

 

resturant.... home is like an everyday thing..... gotta make the night special by going out

 

USD

High school: $10/person

College: $20/person

Grad School/first job: $50/person

Now: $100/person

 

home cooked, comes from the heart

 

Depends on the occasion. I guess a 100 USD would be alright.

 

screw restaurant lol you got kids yelling in the background, old people laughing hard, dish falling a breaking and waiters and waitresses interrupting you...


at home, with a well dressed table, with lit candles, dimmed light, roses on one side, a special wine bottle in a can of ice... and showing the gf that you can do some fine cuisine... and the bedroom just a few rooms away.... now thats hot.


LOL dont mind the last part -lol

 

^I think the word is 'posh' here... Doubt those scenarios happen often.

 

^ ok... fine... subtract the candles and the roses.. and the dimmed light... the rest is still legit!

 

^ -huh? I dun get you..

 

^ a scenario with just wine, fine home cuisine, and nicely decorated table is very plausible instead of the other one i suggested -lol

 

I went to Aqua in hk...it was crap...a rip off and the stuff they served was so small!! Home cooked ftw.

 

Hmmm... I think both are good, depending on mood. A romantic night out will be good once in a while. Home cooked meals are a good relaxation cuz u don have to dress nicely (in fact, don wear anything) or behave like you have to in restaurants. You're more comfortable at home but treating your partner to an expensive place will keep your partner happy and feeling well appreciated.

 

@Dann: Nothing wrong with the home scene u suggested...
I was referrin to the restaurant; OP said it's a posh one so those kids yelling in the background, old people laughing hard, dish falling a breaking and waiters and waitresses interrupting you probably ain't gonna happen

 

^ oh..... LOL my bad XD

but yea, theyre still loud... esp chinese restaurants lol but who would bring their gf/bf there lol

 

^True.. from my experience; Chinese restaurants are usually reserved for families... or group of friends.
Probably bcoz it's best to order that 8-10 meal course...

 

home cooked meal would definitely be more personal i think, and shows more effort, anyone can take you to a restaurant.. but it's much more work for someone to cook a good meal for you

 

It depends on your special someone. I personally prefer the fancy restaurant because we can't avoid the after math of clean up
