The "T?? Celebration" moved JJ Lin and Patty Hou to tears, while nearly 200 celebrity friends basked in overwhelming happiness. After taking countless family photos in the bright venue, they chose to hold this meaningful celebration here—why? It's the newly opened Taipei Marriott Hotel in Dazhi, and more specifically, its brand-new Western restaurant, "Garden Kitchen"!

With floor-to-ceiling windows that let in warm sunlight, the bright space is exactly why JJ and Patty fell in love with Garden Kitchen at first sight. After tasting the handcrafted dishes meticulously prepared by Taiwan’s rising-star chef and Restaurant Executive Chef Vincent (Weng Shijun), they wanted to share this happiness and deliciousness with their beloved little one.

To perfectly plan this "T?? Celebration", preparations and discussions started as early as a few months in advance. Because Garden Kitchen features a highly flexible design—with minimal use of fixed furniture—it could be fully customized to meet the needs of the party. For example, the tables and chairs near the entrance were cleared out to create a cozy living room-style photo zone full of family warmth.
As for the three private rooms, which are different from the all-day dining areas of typical hotels and offer greater privacy for guests, they were transformed into a fun cinema loved by children, a large cup-stacking competition area, and a magic show room—suddenly turning Garden Kitchen into a "Garden Playground"!

Although the party was for T??, the arrangements went far beyond the ordinary. Chef Vincent not only served signature main courses such as pan-seared salmon with spicy clams, seasonal vegetables, and charcoal-grilled Aussie beef steak with Korean flavors, but also prepared extra mini French appetizers (chocolate duck liver mousse, lettuce shrimp floss, mascarpone tomato, Parma ham, and smoked salmon cheese rolls) for early arrivals to enjoy with drinks. But the highlight was undoubtedly the customized baby shower dessert area that delighted both adults and kids—featuring cupcakes with pacifiers and little lambs (T??’s cups), as well as cute pink baby strollers and shiny yellow diaper-patterned fondant cookies. Some of the desserts were specially reserved for the dessert section during the week following the event, allowing more guests at Garden Kitchen to continue sharing in the joy of the celebration.

The success of this 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 both hosts and guests with star-level, heartwarming, and unforgettable memories!
