chinese flavours: L journey w s22



learning journey with s22....food and ethnicity, chinatown: includes a 7(?) course meal in a traditional hakka restaurant, a peek into a family run pastry shop where intimacy rolls out in more ways than one. the personal touch we taste in food. the sun basking on sweet breadcrumbs, bits still stuck on my flu-blown nose. our long march down sunny alleyways awashed in scents of tea-leaves, lychees, cold crabs, tendons, sea cucumbers and wildflowers. the street aromas waffing our assumptions. murking the meanings of being chinese. being one never became as delicious as today. food and identity. slurp...burp... time again to salivate.

p/s: special thanks to diana chua for leading our nose all the way...
