In today's @theguardian.com dishing out compliments to strangers has helped me come out of my shell and be more present 💝 www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

The one change that worked: I felt self-conscious – until I started complimenting strangers

Every day I try to give a genuine compliment, so if I like someone’s clothes, hair or makeup, I’ll tell them. It has made me more present, confident and at ease talking to people

My copy of @vittles.bsky.social landed; what a mighty achievement and a stunning collective of brilliant writers — including Sanam Maher & @angelahui.bsky.social Very much thoroughly impressed — as far as new publications go — can't wait to dig into this today, folks: www.vittlesmagazine.com

Had a blast nerding out w/ the curators at the Hong Kong Palace Museum about their upcoming exhibition on China’s food and drink culture featuring ancient picnics, spiritual food offerings and 16th century deliveroo. In @financialtimes.com print tomorrow or online here! www.ft.com/content/85c5...

The ancient Chinese didn’t just invent gunpowder — they created the picnic

A lively exhibition at Hong Kong’s Palace Museum explores the culture of feasting — including a centuries-old predecessor to Deliveroo

Wrote a piece for @thetimes.com about the decline of Cantonese food and the rise of Mainland Chinese cuisine, along with the snobbish comparisons that have emerged. These are distinct regional cuisines and there’s no need to pit them against each other www.thetimes.com/life-style/f...

Farewell chow mein, we’re in a new golden age of Chinese food

Changing tastes and second-generation priorities have heralded a transformation in our palates, says Angela Hui, who grew up working in her parents’ takeaway in Wales

wrote an essay on Spirited Away for @bbcradio3bot.bsky.social I talk about my favourite blink-and-you’ll-miss-it scene where No Face is drinking tea and demolishing the fluffiest piece of cheesecake after destroying the bathhouse like nothing's happened. Tune in tonight at 9.45pm!
