Recently, I feel that my family have transformed. My mum seems to treat me so much like her daughter (which it didn't seem so previously). My dad seems to treat my mum more lovingly in front of us. My mum seems to accept the loving behaviour from my dad now (I never saw that before). We are like a family now!
Spending time with my family nowadays seems to be a pleasure and not a pain anymore. I used to have unhappiness staying with my family especially my mum. Now I love them and they love me.
Having meals at home with mum is really a time I treasure now. Perhaps only one time in a week, I could taste my mum's cooked food. Being able to eat what my mum cooked made me realise something. No matter how bad our mum's cooked food can be to other people, it can never be compared to anybody outside. We tasted our mum's cooking from young, there's always an inner craving to eat certain dishes that our mum cooked for us. Even if it's just steamed egg! You know that it tastes different and it was cooked in our mum's unique style. The same dishes cooked by others will never taste the same. Talking about my mum's cooking, now I feel like drinking more of her herbal soup, dark pig trotters, braised duck, fried vegetables with soft mushrooms, soya sauce steamed egg and more!
Food really does show you the bond.
