#018 | Where Nordic Meets Taiwanese Cuisine
Today's congee and side dishes are served in a small Ruska plate.
This combination, which seemed unrelated at first, turned out to be unexpectedly harmonious.
The deep brown glaze of Northern Europe meets the homey taste of Taiwan,
not by deliberate arrangement, but by life naturally unfolding.
Ruska's dark glazed surface has a calm texture,
allowing the green and red of the congee and side dishes to naturally settle on the plate.
And Taiwanese breakfast itself has a comfortable ease,
no matter what kind of tableware it's served in, it can naturally blend in.
The cultural encounters in life mostly happen quietly in daily routines.
Sometimes, just a plate, a bowl of congee,
can bring two life experiences together on the same table.
Both the taste and the utensils are simple,
stable and grounded.
