The "T?? Surprise" baby shower moved James Wen and Jerry Yan to tears, with nearly 200 celebrity friends immersed in pure happiness. The venue was filled with joyful photos, and the atmosphere was unforgettable... It turned out that the celebration took place at the newly opened Taipei Marriott Hotel in Dazhi, specifically in its brand-new Western-style restaurant — "Garden Kitchen"!

With floor-to-ceiling windows that let in warm sunlight, the bright and airy space is why James and Jerry fell in love with Garden Kitchen at first sight. After tasting the handcrafted dishes meticulously prepared by Taiwan’s rising star chef and restaurant head chef Vincent (Weng Shijun), they were eager to share this delightful cuisine with their beloved T??.

To perfectly prepare for this "T?? Surprise" baby shower, planning and communication began months in advance. Garden Kitchen’s highly flexible design, with minimal use of fixed furniture, allowed for extensive customization to meet the party’s needs. For example, the area near the entrance was cleared of tables and chairs to create a cozy living room-style photo zone full of family warmth.

As for the three private rooms, which differ from the all-day dining areas in other hotels and offer guests more privacy, they were transformed into a fun cinema loved by children, a large cup-stacking competition area, and a magic show room — instantly turning Garden Kitchen into a "Garden Playground"!

Although the party was for T??, the arrangements were surprisingly lavish. Chef Vincent not only prepared special main courses such as pan-seared salmon with spicy clams, vegetables, and Korean-style grilled Australian skirt steak, but also extra mini French appetizers (chocolate duck liver mousse, lettuce shrimp floss, mascarpone tomato, Parma ham, and smoked salmon rolls) for early arrivals to enjoy with drinks. But the highlight was undoubtedly the customized baby shower dessert area that delighted both adults and children, including sippy cup and sheep-themed cupcakes for the little one, as well as cute pink baby stroller and shiny yellow diaper-patterned fondant cookies. Some desserts were specially reserved for the dessert area during the week following the event, allowing more guests at Garden Kitchen to continue sharing in the joy of the celebration.

The successful baby shower has made Garden Kitchen one of the most sought-after venues for private events. Whether for birthdays, engagements, or year-end parties, the customizable arrangements, comforting cuisine, and thoughtful service leave hosts and guests with star-level, heartwarming, and unforgettable memories!
