What does love and emotion look like in an Asian household? When "I love you" is not a part of our vocabulary, how is love expressed in an Asian family? We take a look at loving through food and service, the roundabout ways we say "I love you" to our parents, and all that's left unsaid.
Episode outline:
1. Why saying 'I love you' is so difficult
2. How we process and express emotions in an Asian household
3. Loving through acts of service
4. Food as the sixth love language
5. How we love now
