Do those beautiful eyes for Mum to see
Mama wants to know where you are
Eating in is her favourite treat
Im always ones to push buttons so every year I try it out. Lets EAT OUT for your birthday Mum! The usual glare, a tiny smirk, and shes off, reciting what shell be cooking for that family meal.
Eating IN is her favourite treat.
Like many Vietnamese refugees, my parents and relatives began in the rag trade working 16-hour days in the garage to make ends meet. Mum was skillful and fast, but her magic has and always will be in the kitchen. Whether shes feeding V.I.P (us!),those unexpected but frequent drop-ins, or The Village (our relatives), mum always exceeds expectations, both in flavour and quantity!
What she created with the little we had was amazing! And while money didnt grow on trees, mum could grow just about everything else. The BÃ?E (a large grapefruit species) is a mainstay of her garden and our family table, and half the reason for the name Mamai.
The other reason is pretty obvious. Not in the negative sense, but a jovial confession of my admiration and gratitude.
The Mamas B�E menu is inspired by both my Mum and close aunts (Tha­m) home-cooked goodness. Our best memories are centered around family meals and the banter that echoed from them. Were happiest when everyone is enjoying great food in great company.
So make yourself at home (respectfully!) and make some memories. Just do as mum says:
Eat, enjoy, and never leave the table hungry!
