Or simply a perfect excuse to have...

Kirin Seafood Restaurant 麒麟海鮮酒家: my favourite dessert

When a baby turns one month old, it is a pretty big deal in my culture. They can finally be brought out to be formally introduced to extended family and relatives at a banquet celebration In one of my previous posts, I mentioned about my cousin's new baby and the celebration we already had, but today was a much larger one.  I feel like Kirin Seafood Restaurant has been constantly winning...
