From thousands of years of culture comes a surprising amount of dumb sh*t Asian parents say—the kind of advice and warnings you start to seriously question once you hit adulthood. Or maybe, if you were bolder (or had a death wish) as a kid, you dared to talk back and challenge their ultimate parental authority. Spoiler alert: I didn’t, haha!
In an Asian upbringing, there’s always a strong emphasis on being obedient and “good”—because nothing says I love you quite like bringing your parents honour (and maybe a few bragging rights at the next family gathering). This project is a playful series that pokes fun at all the countless ways you could unintentionally disappoint your sweet, well-meaning parents—wrapped up in a nostalgic ode to classic Asian childhood sweets. Think of it as a cultural Dim Sim of humour, nostalgia, and irony. You know they had the best intentions, but sometimes you just have to wonder, Was that advice 100% MSG-free? And honestly, Would they still love me if I didn’t fit the mold? Or if I actually enjoy my sun-drenched holiday while enjoying an icy, cool cocktail in hand?
