Travelling is a journey of exploration, discovery and connection. For the true adventurer, it's not just about ticking off destinations and capturing beautiful memories, but about sharing experiences, learning new things and spreading joy. And that's exactly what Chef Lion discovered on a recent trip to Aba, in Sichuan, China. This region is home to the Tibetan minority, who welcomed Chef Lion with open arms and showed him the true beauty and hospitality of the region. With the warm sun on his face, Chef Lion explored the valleys of Aba, where he was treated to a feast of wild mushrooms and local delicacies. He joined the Tibetan locals in their homes, where he learned about their rich culture and cuisine. Chef Lion was particularly struck by the kindness and generosity of the Tibetan mother he met in Xiaojin County. Under her guidance, he learned the art of traditional Tibetan cooking, using the freshest ingredients and traditional methods to create a feast for the senses. With the majestic mountains as their backdrop and the scent of spices and herbs in the air, Chef Lion and the Tibetan mother cooked and laughed together, creating a bond that transcends language and cultural differences. And as the sun set over Aba, Chef Lion and the Tibetan community danced in front of a unique Tibetan tent, celebrating their new friendship and the food they had shared. Chef Lion left Aba with a full belly and a heart overflowing with gratitude. He was struck by the love and hospitality of the Tibetan people and the beauty of their culture. This experience will always hold a special place in his heart, and he will never forget the joy he felt during this unforgettable food exchange. Thank you, China!
