At night, I asked daddy to bring us to Weld Quay to see how they(Hokkiens) Pai Ti Kong, pray sky God.
There were so much food to serve to the God on a very very very long table.
One roasted pig is very very expensive. If rich man, they buy a whole pig, if so so one, they share among others.
Miku Bun, very nice. Taste good with peanut butter.
Government say no fireworks/crackers during Chinese New Year, but on this night, you can see fireworks and crackers sound everywhere in Penang. ^.^
I myself not HokkienESE. I am a Cantonese, since I’m born in Penang, I became a Penangite, Penangite must know Hokkien because it’s widely spoken here, if not very sia sui, can go to Penang Bridge jump down. HAHA. On that day morning I went to Collect Can Food which is for donating to the old folks home in conjunction with Chinese New Year celebration.
Then later that lunch time, I went to Little Penang Street Market at Upper Penang Rd. with 2 of my best friend and also frequent Penang Hokkien listener.
Ah Long, one of the listener of Penang Hokkien I met. (:
We go there is to meet Penang Hokkien founder/host of the show, John Ong. He was doing a live recording show there and that’s because of that day is Hokkien New Year Eve.
John, Johny Chee(Author of A Tapestry of Baba Poetry), Tan Choon Hoe(Author of Learn How To Speak Penang Hokkien Dialect)
Met some other listeners of Penang Hokkien. John’s mommy(Ong Boh Neoh Neoh), daddy(Ong Teh Pa Pa) were so kind to drop me off home. Thank you!
