Rising with every curl of steam are memories of warmth, family, and home. The xiao long bao becomes more than food — it carries the comfort of shared meals, late-night conversations, and the familiar feeling of belonging. Hidden within its folds is a glowing cityscape, symbolising how culture and identity stay with us no matter how far we go. This piece is a reflection on nostalgia, heritage, and the quiet emotional connection between food and the places that shape us.
