Singaporean Professor Samuel Gan proved nothing, not even the world’s largest migration, stands between a Sinkie and filial piety accusations.

Dr Gan began his 5,000km journey from China two months before CNY, presumably to snag a decent Grab back to his HDB.

His epic quest culminated in a truly unforgettable reunion dinner featuring air-fried roast chicken and a mini yusheng platter.

Truly, a culinary masterpiece worth two months of planning and transatlantic travel, surely.

Meanwhile, expats "discovered" lo hei, finding it "messy but fun," proving outsiders sometimes appreciate our traditions more.

Dr Gan is now surely recovering, already bracing himself for next year’s equally life-altering plate of reheated sambal stingray.
