Every place has its own unique food culture and local customs. This includes banquets. In many places, there is a saying that there is no banquet without fish, and there is a saying that there is no banquet without chickens. And in my hometown, which is a relatively beautiful and quiet place, there is a custom that no one can sit without a meal. Regardless of New Year's Eve or weddings or funerals, the first bowl of dish must be pork belly. (The fat is scraped off the skin of the meat, air-dried and deep-fried. Finally, the water is released. Then it is cleaned and added with various side dishes and simmered with broth.) When I was a child, I didn't like this dish. But I fell in love with it for the first time now that I am an adult and in a foreign land. So many times, the reason why a piece of food makes you like it may not only be because of its taste or texture, but also the memories and culture it carries... It's New Year's Eve, relatives and friends far away in my hometown... Happy New Year to all of you dear to my heart! Happy New Year to everyone at Meitian! Thanks for walking through 2016 together...
