"To Share"

These dishes are all made by hand at home. On special days, my friends and I gather to cook and share—shrimp, crabs, roasted duck, steamed fish, vegetables, fruits, and always hotpot waiting at the center of the table. No matter if it’s a Western holiday or a Chinese festival, this gathering has become tradition. Cooking together, eating together—it feels like time slows down. Every ingredient carries a story; every bite connects us back to something real. Maybe this is what celebration truly means: not luxury, not excess, but sharing what we’ve made with the people who matter.
