Milk Jello

A poem

Amidst bustling voices cart ladies shouting the contents of the dim sum carts I hear your voice, calling out for requests for milk jello, dun lai, silky steamed milk pudding.

Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她) couldn’t find a stock photo for milk pudding just yet, given how she recently was able to find a newer, better stock photo for yuzu/yuja tea, she’s looking forward to the day when a more fitting stock photo will be available! Thank you to Ana-Maria Schweitzer for the prompt — milk!
