   Just learned from the podcast today that ‘you tube’ in hokkien is “lu tiao”.
   I’ve got some taiwan working friends that pronounce ‘you tube’ as “u to-be”. When i first hear time, u was like: huh??? Then he says, “u dunno meh? u to-be so famous eh.” Then when he show me time, only i know it’s you tube. hahaha.

   Local Ginger not spicy ……. I heard before as this is from Cantonese – “pun tei kiong erm lat”. Usually hokkien or teow chew do not recognize this phrase.
