My ethnicity is
Chinese Vietnamese, but not half Chinese and half Vietnamese. There was a small
area of Vietnam where thousands of Chinese people lived that called themselves
the Chinese Vietnamese or the Hoa people, that is where both my Grandparents and parents lived. My
parents and grandparents migrated to Australia when they were in their teens.
Being
from a Chinese Vietnamese background means I get the privilege of indulging in
both the Chinese (particularly Cantonese) and Vietnamese Cuisine. Mostly every
dinner consists of rice and some sort of meat and Chinese vegetables. It also
means I grew up eating delicacies from both countries often overlooked or
avoided by other cultures such as preserved egg and ox tongue (my favourites).
