In Italy, meals are a very important part of the day. People often eat both lunch and dinner at home, sharing their meals with others. This is one of the most relevant Italian traditions to this day - it is seen as a convivial moment to socialise, and bond, with family and friends.

One popular food tradition in Hong Kong is Dim Sum. This fun dining experience involves sharing small dishes served in steamers or on small plates. I remember going to a busy tea house with friends, where we enjoyed a variety of dumplings and buns. The smell of fresh tea filled the air as we savored treats like shrimp dumplings and pork dumplings. Sharing these tasty bites while chatting and laughing captured the spirit of togetherness in Hong Kong's food culture, making it a memorable experience.

My favorite tradition in China is making mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival. As a child, I loved pressing intricate designs into the dough while my grandmother told the legend of Chang'e. The sweet smell filled our kitchen. This ritual is more than cooking; it's a cherished time for family connection and gratitude, celebrating togetherness under the brightest moon of the year
