Modern Dah Kum: Tradition Keeper and Show Runner 大妗姐

In the intricate world of Chinese weddings, few roles carry the weight of heritage, superstition, and social etiquette like the Dai Kam (大妗)—a traditional female wedding emcee and consultant often tasked with orchestrating rituals, offering blessings, and ensuring customs are upheld properly. Literally known as “the elder auntie” (Dai Kam Jie 大妗姐), the Dai Kam is considered the indispensable soul of a Chinese wedding, a role traditionally filled by an older woman entrusted with guiding the couple through the complex rites. Once a figure closely associated with older generations and conservative values, the Dai Kam has evolved in recent years.

Eating Lucky: Food As Fortune

Food is at the centre of life’s milestone celebrations. With each meal we consume, we savour much more than taste alone. Food is an expression. Food has the power to tie in our family traditions, a parent’s love, and good friends. At an elder’s birthday banquet, the final dish that is served is usually made of e-fu noodles that symbolize longevity. Often renamed “long life noodles,” its new title represents well wishes to the elder.
