This one goes out to the dearest woman who greets you with warmth like the sweetest aunt you've never had. She'll check your fragile ego with her unapologetically dry and witty humour. She's fierce and friendly—what a duo. And have you tried her food? Soul nourishing. Full of flavour. Dynamic. Straight from her grandmother's kitchen. And she'll give you a friggin' huge sample with a smile and a raised eyebrow. Recipes passed down through generations of matriarchs. And this shit is reasonably priced! She's got me scheduling my weekend around this market exchange—and putting kimchi on my morning PB on toast. Thank you, sweet lady.
