Baby Milk
Sometimes I wish that I’m a baby again! Just eat, sleep and poo. And repeat. Well, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the opportunity present itself on the supermarket shelves in Hainan. Strawberry milk in a baby bottle! I bought one back and quickly asked my wife to feed me! Ah.. the joys …
Haidilao Fried Rice
