Chinese Parents Don't Say I Love You

Candice Chung

23 June | Time: 17:30 | Venue: Utopia Theatre

ABOUT THE SHOW

When you come from a family that doesn’t say ‘I Love You’, where do all the feelings go? Is it possible to let a fried egg replace a hug and or show empathy through a bowl of perfectly cooked noodles? Food journalist Candice Chung discusses the joys and challenges of learning to read her parents’ coded love language at the dinner table.

In moments when words fail us, can food become a placeholder for complicated emotions? Join Candice as she discusses the food grammar of migrant households in her memoir, CHINESE PARENTS DON’T SAY I LOVE YOU.
