Another birthday dinner

Birthdays, like other good things, are just too good to only have once. We had wanted to take Prof. Jiaoying Shi to dinner when we got to Hangzhou, but it ended up as a family dinner with our very good friends.From left to right: Prof. and Mrs. Shi, Ke Yang, Judy and me, and Mingmin Zhang and her daughter.

We went to the Kuiyuan Restaurant, a restaurant with a long history in Hangzhou, and had their specialty shrimp and fried eel noodles -- along with lotus-leaf chicken, a specially-prepared fish that we really like, and several other things. Noodles are, of course, a birthday specialty meaning long life.
