Untitled - Mama`s Buoi

Ι’m always one to push buttons, so every year Ι try it out. “Let’s EAT OUT for your birthday Mum!” The usual glare, a tiny
smirk, and she’s off, reciting what she’ll be cooking for that family meal.
Eating ΙN 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
skilful and fast, but her magic has and always will be in the kitchen.
Whether she’s feeding V.Ι.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
didn’t grow on trees, mum could grow just about everything else.
The Bửởi (a large grapefruit species) is a mainstay of her garden and
our family table, and half the reason for the name Mama’s Bửởi.
The other reason is pretty obvious. Not in the negative sense, but a jovial
declaration of my admiration and gratitude.
The Mama’s Bửởi menu is inspired by both my Mum and our close
Aunt’s (‘Thím’) home-cooked goodness. Our best memories are centred
around family meals and the banter that echoed from them.
We’re happiest when everyone is enjoying great food in great company.
So make yourself at home (respectfully) and make some memories.
Saying

“Eat, enjoy and never leave
the table hungry!”
Dô! [Cheers!]
