For the month of June, we’ll be looking at culinary storytelling as a map of identity, migration, and innovation. We’ll delve into how taste connects the local to the global, the past to the future, and juicy stories to mouthwatering insights.

Round three of RADII`s Shanghai happy hour, and this time we took over Madame Ching with a very special edition of "The Smuggler`s Challenge."
Big thanks to @itsmadameching , @peddlersgin , and everyone who showed up and took the bet. Congrats to our winners, who smuggled home some genuinely earned prizes. Somewhere between the drinks and the chaos, it stopped feeling like an event and started feeling like a reunion.
With July a day away, we`re also marking nine years of RADII: nine years of telling stories from Asia`s creative youth. The whole time, we`ve stayed happy to test the weird idea, chase the niche scene, and hand the mic to the people actually living the culture instead of just reporting on it. And we`re not stopping.
This was our third happy hour. See you at the next one.

Ask anyone in Yunnan about their tea and they`ll point you to Pu`er. The province`s other black tea: Dianhong (滇红), barely makes the conversation at home.
But in Poland, the same leaf tells a different story. Decades of Eastern Bloc trade turned "Yunnan" (written Junnan) into shorthand for good tea: sweetened, lemon-sliced, and woven into daily life.
A small reminder of how culture actually travels.

The youth of China have been fighting over the same question for decades every Dragon Boat Festival: would you pick sweet zongzi or savory? But before anyone could settle it, more and more new contenders kept joining the group chat.
Honey yogurt. Strawberry jam. Ice durian. The zongzi map used to be simple. The savory South packs pork belly, salted egg yolk, and shiitake into wide bamboo leaves. The sweet North leans on dates and red beans. Both trace back to the Spring and Autumn Period (770–476 BC), and the geography wrote the recipe: dry northern soil for wheat and beans, humid southern paddies for rich, layered fillings.
The savory South still wins the old argument, like it always has. But the fight worth watching isn`t North versus South anymore. It`s tradition versus creativity. The zongzi has become a blank canvas to play with.
