Unfurl a banana, scratch your armpit and de-louse a loved one: the Chinese Year of the Monkey is upon us!

This is the year to go ape over banana milkshakes; to listen to the collected works of the Monkees; and to enjoy toasting a cheese sandwich on your gorilla (griller).

Here’s a little something I wrote for SBS Food on Chinese New Year. The editor suggested I take out the description of Dad as ‘gibbon-like’. He he.

Happy New Year: may it be a safe and happy one.
