Unbalanced Vision

The chef and his pork

Being part of a close-knit Chinese family means that you meet up, sit down, laugh, talk and eat. After a day or two, again, you meet up, sit down, laugh, talk and eat. Bad for the waistline, bad for facial muscles. In most occassions, food is involved, lots of food. People from our generation don't necessarily have loads of siblings, but the parents may have more than one to fight with. Hence you have meals with Aunties' and Uncles' families, bonding relations and strengthening connections. One more mouth adds to its prosperity.
