Old Penang Hokkien 舊庇能福建

Guests: Katakpuru & Tua Pui Poh

Thanks to two of our listeners who generously and honestly sharing their maternity confinement experience in our Chinese customs. I'm sure some of you would have your own stories to share. Leave some comments here to share your stories, or we can record another one if there are enough people.

Guests: Tua Pui Poh & Ah Toh Pek

We have two new guests this week to talk about Cheng Beng. I'm sure many of you have already been to the cemetery or will be going this week. Since I grew up a Christian, I didn't really know many of the rituals and customs when it comes to Cheng Beng. I'm so lucky to have two guests who are knowledgeable, especially Ah Toh Pek who has an uncle who sells things you may need for Cheng Beng. Thanks to Ah Tox and Ah Toh Pek who sent in some of these wonderful pictures.

I have always talked about doing a recording for my podcasts on the ferry in Penang, and today my dream came true. This recording was actually done aboard the Penang ferry "Pulau Undan". You can see some of the behind-the-scene video on the Star Online on The Star Podcast. Or view the video directly on Ongline Video Podcast #20.

For those who didn't make it to the Little Penang Street Market, stay subscribed, the recording should be coming up very soon. That was REALLY FUN. Please support Little Penang Street Market if you are in Penang. It's on the last Sunday of each month.

I'm sweating like a mad man.

Thanks to all who attended. This show is for those who didn't get to attend for one reason or another. Enjoy.
