it's all my macro skills fault

was having a family lunch at a crowded chinese restaurant in Penang, called Feng Wei 风味 ... then my in-law found something on the "Nestum prawn". I found that it's interesting so I took a snap shot of it using Lumix's macro, while waiting for the waiter. The small plate was taken away without any explanation nor comment. The whole plate of nestum prawn dish was not touched since then. Eventually, one of the "captain" showed up like 30 mins later and asked what's happening. Explained the incidence and finding, plus there were few prawns already consumed to her. But she was not convinced as she said she didn't see any plate or food taken back. Then finally, showed this shot taken earlier and she mumbled and frown saying will remove this dish from the bill...hmmmm...and without a word nor "sorry" to close this little chapter of a Father's Day afternoon (if I am not mistaken for the date).
The feeling is not good and I am blaming myself for not having a good macro skill, or I should have haul the 105mmf2.8 micro + the flash light out for lunch. For us adult stomach, a dead little cockroach should be tolerate-able... And most of all, I hope the 2 kids and a pregnant in-law would be ok and not having negative impact on their health or well being.
