OMG,John, the player internet explorer gone…
Oops. I left that part out. Sorry. Player should be back. But I encougrage people to listen using iTunes or any other podcatcher.
I think I know what’s the lamp name… It’s called Carbide Lamp…
They use Carbide as the fuel… Carbide is also used to make fruits look as though as they are riped… Carbide will change the colour of the skin on the fruit to make it looked riped… But the fruit still will taste un-riped…
Carbide is mostly used by Thais to “ripe” Durians, Longan/Laici, Banana and Mango… So I usually avoid fruits imported from Thailand…
the lamp is call ‘toh you theng’ if not mistaken
Thanks for your input.
My mom told me it’s call “Tai Kong Teng” (???)
Carbide in hokkien is “Karpai Thor” Rite??
Patrict, I think you’re right. My mom confirmed the information. She also said that the the carbide lamp is different from what I mentioned Tai Kong Teng. Carbide lamp is exposed, just a tube up with open flame. But tai kong teng is different. It’s enclosed. I’ll try to find a picture.
Here, I found a picture from a merchant online.
Does anybody know the Chinese character for hiao as for Hiao Lok? Is your lok like going down ?? I keep laughing. Why dont you change your name to Chi-go Bet rather than hiao lok. Hiao is for girls. Chi-go is for boys. he he!
Miku John, I prefer to call it me-chi for pasak malam. It sounds so much Hokkien.
I had so much problem listening to this episode again today. I finally can get to hear it the second time. It keeps saying that there is a problem with your system,
I have just learned a new word lao jaio. I learned su jaio from my sister because her dog keeps su jaio. I already know pang jaio. So I know three jaio. Is there anymore jaio. he he 😉
Diojiu nang [Teochew people] say durian as lui liang??.
It is so good that Ah John uses lihai [??li4hai4] correctly as awesome. Yes Miku John I think that you are very lihai. You know some people who are not Chinese educated think that lihai is a negative comment. I think that the negative word is lang hiam . Does anybody have the characters for lang hiam?

Today I shared the episode with my family in the car, everyone was laughing like crazy in the car. We’re trying to talk my aunt’s mother-in-law, I call her Che-Eum Poh into joining the podcast as a guest. She is over 60 years old but very active and talkative. She knows many things about Hokkien and Penang…… ^^
Ah Long, that will be so nice to have her! Looking forward to it.
