“So, ready! Dinner for two. Romantic and delicious with the candlelight, of course. Today is the second week of Christmas (December), so I put two lights. The tradition says that the first week, you light one candle, the second week, you light two candles, and continue until the fourth week. I hope you have a very nice, festive month. It’s a very simple meal, but very tasty. You eat them with boiled vegetables and some stir fry sauce, or soy paste, they call it. Very simple. And the tapioca and barley sweet dessert. This is all we need. Enjoy your meal. Before you eat, sprinkle some black sesame on your glutinous rice cake. Remember also that sticky rice is also called glutinous rice.”

“(What is this, Master?) That’s an oil lamp. You light the candle underneath. And you put in a little water and a few drops of oil in it to relax you. (Oh, I see.) All kinds of things. Also smells nice. They use it in aromatherapy. For example, if you like to relax after a very tiring day, you put lavender. And if you like romantic, maybe you put vanilla, or rose essence, and you can also put sandalwood. I like sandalwood very much.”
