It’s a nice, sunny afternoon and you wish to go out for a lovely meal in leisurely tai-tai style. However, someone needs to take care of the kids at home. What a hassle and dilemma.  Well, this may not necessarily be the case if you can do both at the same time! Why not bring your kids out for the very same meal you have in mind? The restaurants may even have playgrounds or kids’ menus specially tailored to their needs!
