Do you know what Chulia Street is Hokkien? What about Burma Road?
Do you even know that there are Hokkien names for many streets in Penang. You will have to check out this show.

PGHK #109 Blue Flim
This topic has been in the forum for a long time, we finally find a time to talk about it. The only problem is, we didn’t have enough time. Almost everyone wanted to share their own stories. Now, what are we talking about?
“Blue Flim”
I did not misspelled Flim. That’s how we say it in Hokkien.
I hope you’ll enjoy this episode. And I certainly hope to record a second show in the future. In the meantime, share your experience in the comment area.
PGHK #108 Keh Gua Kok (嫁外国)
Guests: Jipunabor, Laksa Gien, Jepun Lau Ee, & Tua Pui Poh
This week we have several listeners sharing their stories on how they got married to a foreign country. As we celebrate 50 years of independence, it’s good to reflect on our national identity, especially those who live abroad. Explore the courage of those who get married to a foreign land. Laugh with us in funny situations when you get married into a completely different culture.
The picture below is our famous Jepun Lau Ee
Happy 50!
Happy Merdeka!
As Malaysia turns 50 today, I’d like to express my appreciation to the country in which I was born and raised.
My beloved Penang island is a part of the country, and it is this country that gave me the unique and interesting culture that I carry with me no matter which country I live.
Take a moment to appreciate your country and culture.
My peranakan heritage is what I treasure greatly. Thanks to Raymond Kwok‘s generous sharing, I was able to visit some of his priceless artifact collections.
Pulau Tikus Market
Some of you might know that I also have another podcast called Ongline Podcast. It is a personal journal podcast that consist of everything from my emotional struggles to weight struggles, from my trip to Chicago to my trip to Malaysia. Anything I want to express about myself, my friends, my thoughts, and my stance.
I usually don’t post anything from there on Penang Hokkien. But since this video was shot in Malaysia, I thought I’d share it with you. And you are also invited to check out the podcast. It may not be for you, but if you’re interested, check it out, I won’t be offended if you don’t like it. When it is a real life podcast, things can’t always be that happy. Find out more about myself there.
In the meantime, check out the video I shot in Pulau Tikus from February.
PGHK #107 Eau Kui (枵鬼)
Guests: Hiao Lok, Pong Pah, Kuku TengTeng & Hao Tniao
As many Chinese Penangites are observing the Hungry Ghost Festival, we on Penang Hokkien are joining in and share our experience and stories from the younger generations. I have learned quite a few things from my guests. If you are a chicken, don’t worry, it’s not very scary at all.
