🌏 May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month! 🌸 At Hello Neighbor, we’re proud to celebrate the rich cultural traditions and stories of our staff. This week, we asked team members from AANHPI backgrounds to share: 🔹 Their favorite dish from their culture or country 🔹 A local restaurant or business in Pittsburgh that reminds them of home Here’s what they told us: 🍛 Susan • Favorite food: Hyderabadi Dum Biryani (Chicken/Lamb) • Favorite local spot: Red Chilly’s – India’s Street Kitchen 🦀 Cecilia • Favorite food: Pangxie Chao Niangao – Stir-fried Crab with Rice Cakes • Favorite local spot: Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings 🦐 Asfi • Favorite food: Chingri (Shrimp) Malai Curry • Favorite local spot: Bengal Kabab House and Restaurant (Oakland) 🍽️ Urshita • Favorite food: Chole Bhature – Spicy Chickpea Curry with Fried Bread • Favorite local spot: Udipi Cafe (Monroeville) 💬 Food is more than a meal — it's a connection to identity, heritage, and home. 🏠 Many of these beloved restaurants are immigrant- or refugee-owned, helping preserve culture and build stronger communities. ✨ Let’s celebrate AANHPI Heritage Month by: ✅ Supporting local immigrant-owned businesses ✅ Sharing and learning from each other’s stories ✅ Embracing the vibrant diversity all around us #AANHPIHeritageMonth #HelloNeighbor #CelebrateCulture #ImmigrantOwned #PittsburghEats (fb)
