Nina Mingya Powles
“I often end up biking home with a paper bag in my basket, a warm boluo bao inside. Whatever the time of year, they remind me of sun, tropical heat, being with family. Mooncakes, the little cakes eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival, are meant to look like moons. Boluo bao look like shining suns.”
Nina Mingya Powles, Tiny Moons: A Year of Eating in Shanghai

“I was at the American International School for three years in Japan, and Singapore International School for two years in Hong Kong.”
Janice Wong
