Are family traditions passed down from the last generation? Or do you make your own? Why does it feel like it always revolves around food? In this episode of the Asian Soup Podcast, we share more around our family traditions and meals, as well as our views on how they may have come about. Rox shares what some typical Chinese traditions could be, as well as what her own family traditions are. Jules shares how her family traditions have changed from childhood to adulthood, and what brings her family together. We explore what makes up our immediate and wider family and the traditions that have been created. We also chat about how regularity in what makes an event or activity a tradition, and how food is a common theme around our Asian Australian family traditions. Actually, a lot of it is around food! Grab a bowl and join us for a casual and a little hearty chat about the family traditions we’ve had while growing up in Sydney and our experiences and reflections from 30-something-year-old Asian Australians.

Ever wondered what it's like growing up in Sydney's Asian communities? In this episode of the Asian Soup Podcast, we dive into our unique experiences. Jules shares her vivid memories of childhood in the Korean church community, reflecting on the close-knit bonds and traditions that shaped her upbringing. Meanwhile, Rox talks about growing up in a Korean suburb and the small (and sadly fading) Chinese Opera community that she is a part of through her mum's involvement in the Chinese Opera scene. We explore how Asian communities in Sydney form around religion, interests, and neighbourhoods, highlighting suburbs like Cabramatta, Strathfield, Lidcombe, Eastwood, West Ryde, and Hurstville.
