Sometime when life get intense and overwhelming,
I find my mind wondering while I try to
accomplish the mundane, everyday tasks.
The matcha green Tatung Rice Cooker on stage is a traditional Taiwanese kitchenware.
It is one of the first things my mom received from a distance relative after arriving in Canada ten years ago.
Tatung Rice Cooker sits in every Taiwanese household.
It is a very practical and important helper in the kitchen, and a symbol of home,familiarity and comforting warm dishes.
