Nibblers… guess who crawled out of their little cave? Yes, yes, we indeed disappeared for two days. Call it a tiny scandal, a crime, Valentine’s betrayal even. 💔 Before you start forming a protest committee, just remember… some of us had to go out there and wrestle adulthood so the tiny humans (and this cozy place) can keep thriving, #reality.

Still! Late doesn’t mean we don’t care. We genuinely hope your Valentine’s was full of warmth and way too many sweets. 🍓🍫 And now, with Chinese New Year around the corner, may your pockets be heavier and your year ridiculously lucky. 🏮 Mamaobei, Papachan, and our beloved Diners are wishing you blessings that don’t expire, the kind that linger from yesterday into today and follow you boldly into tomorrow. Anyway… now that we’re back, don’t blink, because....

We’re popping in to gently (but firmly!) remind you that recruitment will be strictly closing tonight at 11.59 p.m. (GMT+7), sharp. No dramatic last-minute door knocking, please! Make sure your submission form has been properly handed over to our beloved HR, @DinneringBot, before the clock strikes. And yes, we’re keeping it open through Sunday as a tiny peace offering for our two-day vanishing act. (Definitely not because Mamaobei had a sudden character arc about symmetry and dates. Nope. Not that at all. Cough.)

As for the QnA session, we’ll be starting earlier this afternoon heading into the evening, pinky promise! If there’s anything you’ve been meaning to ask, this is your cue! The board access might be closing around 7 p.m., so don’t show up at 7:03 acting surprised why you’re talking to a wall and not us, okay? 🫵🏻 Now… for our single-lane lover Nibblers who are staring at this long weekend like it personally offended them, @DiningOutBot is ready and waiting to help you find a worthy opponent, probably someone who matches your appetite! 🍽

That’s all from Mamaobei & Papachan for now. We’ll catch you later, Sous-Babies! Make your Sunday responsibly sweet until you hear our car’s parked in the garage! 🚗

And just like that… that wraps up the very last batch of our recruitment talk sessions, our beloved Sous-Babies & Nibblers! ♥︎ Thank you for sitting with Papachan, Mamaobei, and even a sprinkle of our silliest Diners tonight. We hope everything we shared was enough to ease your worries, answer your curiosities, and maybe even calm those tiny overthinking voices in your head, hehe!

And we'd like to give one last nudge that the recruitment will be closing tonight at exactly 11.59 p.m. Thus, if this is something you've been holding onto, don't let the opportunity slip through your fingers at the last second...! :3 And for our applicants who sent in questions through the Tally interview, we'll be responding thoroughly via the bot. The exact timing may float a little depending on the flow, so just keep your notifications warm because when the call comes, it comes! In the meantime, we're hoping that you're spending the rest of your Sunday night heartily! 🌃🍚

Nibblers! Today is the day! 恭喜发财, 新年快乐! 🏮🧧 As the Horse gallops into this year, follows the prayers for us to outrun all of the last year's and this year's doubts and fears, and may our fortune and success running & chasing after us instead, across the track of life. Let our spirit run fearless and free, toward every dream we've been wishing for upon the stars. And the sweetest of all, may all our trials end in full bloom as we pray for this new year to be an eternal spring to all of us. Once again, Happy Chinese New Year, our lovely ones! We are beyond grateful to have you around and share the blessing together. 🎐

The house has been, as always, full of laughter these past few days. To open the door was never a regret, and we are truly grateful that you chose to come. With cookbooks passed from hand to hand, tangerines shared across the table, and documents carefully mailed, we received far more than we ever thought we deserved.

The kitchen light has not dimmed since. The stove has stayed lit, steam slipping through the chimney, proof that we have spent countless nights together, preparing this menu especially for you.

Every table starts with one more, or two, perhaps even an extra spoon resting beside each plate. The food has always been warm, though the laughter could never seem loud enough. What we once shared, is now yours to take. ☕️

ㅤㅤ

At last, what we can convey to our dearest Nibblers and Sous-Babies is... thank you, truly, for choosing to try your luck and step into our little house these past days. The door has been wide open, with laughter and hopeful wishes echoing from table to table, and you were part of that warmth! 🪔 Every form we received was like a handwritten recipe passed gently from hand to hand, and it all deserves their own appreciation more than we can properly put into words. If for now our paths don't align, please don't take it as a closed door! Perhaps, it is simply a matter of timing, of seats still being arranged and seasons finding their wind. We are deeply grateful you trusted us enough to try, to sit at our table, to share your name with us. Should another opportunity come, we would be more than happy to welcome you again with the same warmth, the same lit stove, and maybe—just maybe—a better timing waiting for all of us! We love you equally, and our prayers for you to eat well & live well will always linger around every step you made. ♥︎

Evening, babieeees! Did you miss us? Because we might have disappeared for a teeny tiny moment there….. 💔 Ever since the last time we said hello during the new Diners acceptance announcement....💧But pspspsps… come closer for a second. Guess whaaaaat! :3

Our menu just got a fresh little glow-up! And yes, it’s been lovingly seasoned with the brand new spices brought by our newest Diners, yippie! So go on, take a little peek at it… just a small one… we promise we won’t bite. (Okay maybe a little....) And if—hypothetically speaking—one of them steals your heart straight off the plate… well, that sounds like a booking situation, doesn’t it? ;0 And if that happens (which… we kinda hope it does), come find Mamaobei & Papachan through @DiningOutBot! They’ll help you with all your questions, cravings, and bookings, so you can sit down and enjoy the never-ending pasta with us! 🍝 Careful though… once you start dining, it’s very hard to leave the table. </3

WAAAAIT, don’t go yet! There’s more! It’s just.... happy (VERY fashionably late) March, Nibblers & Diners! Yes yes, we know, it’s already the 6th, hehehe... :guilty_grin: Please forgive the delay, the teapots in our kitchen have been committing crimes over here. 🫖

But! Mamaobei did a tiny tarot pull for the table earlier… just for fun, don’t take this very seriously. And guess who decided to show up? The High Priestess! Very mysterious of her! Very “I know something you don’t know.” ;p So maybe that’s the little March energy for all of us: trust your gut, notice the quiet signs, and follow whatever softly tugs at your heart. Who knows… it might lead you right back to our table. 🥧
