Tea chat about migrant foods and tea in a Chinese takeaway

EAST2046

Join us for a tea chat where we'll explore the rich stories behind migrant foods and imagine their delicious flavors. Also a tea tasting!

Top Wok

An intimate fusion of tea tasting, academic discussion, and personal story sharing—set, very deliberately, inside a Chinese takeaway, an everyday yet pivotal migrant site. We open with a three-tea flight (Qinggan Pu’er, British black tea, Moroccan mint) to warm the senses, followed by quick introductions and reflections on what “migrant food” means in our lives and scholarship. We then co-create a food map of London, pinning favourite migrant dishes and restaurants to trace routes of movement, memory and adaptation. No prior expertise required; bring curiosity, a story, and an appetite for conversation. You’ll leave with a photo of our collective map, a crowd-sourced eat list, and a new way of tasting London.Note: You can order your food from the takeaway but it is not included in the ticket.中式外卖店是一个日常但又在英国东亚和东南亚移民历史里承载着移民生活记忆的空间。在移民迁徙的路途和对家乡的记忆中，食物和日常饮品都有着重要的地位。我们将在北伦敦的一家中式外卖店里开展一个有关饮食、移民和地理的半学术品茶会。在这里，我们将以三款茶饮开启一段跨文化的感官旅程：青柑普洱、英式红茶与摩洛哥薄荷茶，三种风味交织出迁徙与融合的味觉隐喻。茶香之中，我们将共同思考“移民饮食”在我们的生活与研究中意味着什么。它不仅是味觉的选择，更是身份、记忆与适应的体现。随后，我们将一起绘制一张“伦敦移民美食地图”——标注那些承载着故事的餐厅与菜肴，追溯移民者的迁徙轨迹与文化印记。活动结束时，你将带走：<ul><li>一张我们共同绘制的美食地图照片</li><li>一份众人贡献的移民美食清单</li><li>以及一种重新品味伦敦的方式</li></ul>注：你可以从外卖店点食物，但不包含在门票内。
