No, he's not taking his mother to the noodles bar for dinner on Mother's Day, even though I'm sure they'll be having noodles for lunch. He is giving her the noodles bar. Mrs Lai, aged 71, had been widowed for some time and stayed with her eldest son. Grief was an understatement for her since her eldest son died from bile duct cancer in October 2008. KW, her remaining son, knew just the thing to do to get her out of this half year long depression. Mrs Lai has always been proud of her pork-bone soup, which is the biggest secret behind a delicious bowl of noodles. He invested his life's saving and spare time to come out with the perfect gift for Mother's Day, a noodles bar which opens on Mother's Day weekend. I'm grateful to KW who has reminded me that a big thank you to Mum often means a gift of PRIDE.
