Looking back into the past, when my grandmother was still in this world, my family and I would always have lunch together around the huge table that was in my dining hall then in my old home.
The dishes were those of that I have missed ever since her departure.
We would always have a large bowl of home cooked soup with quite a number of spoons lying in the middle of the table, few different dishes that are either bought from the nearby coffee shop or home cooked.
Before we eat, we were required to address everyone around the table like "Dad, Eat; Mum; Eat" and so on, starting from the youngest to the eldest. We are also supposed to not have any kind of drinks on the table and the only thing that we should be drinking during lunch was the soup.
Just lunch alone has already shown a few different kinds of practices that are being followed by all the family members.
