Penang Hokkien

I recently came across a wonderful site while surfing the net. For a long time I've thought that Penang as a place and its culture is very unique in that what we have here could not be found elsewhere. For example, it doesn't matter how many Penang restaurants you could find at foreign countries, the taste will never be the same as what you can find on this wonderful island.

Cuisine aside, the next most noticeable characteristics of being a Penangite is our spoken dialect. Our Hokkien is one of its kind since it is very different from those spoken in Singapore, Taiwan and China. Years ago someone told me that when we speak Hokkien, it sounded like music to him. I took it as a compliment.

I strongly recommend this website to those who wish to experience Penang Hokkien and those who stay overseas but wish that you are here on the island.

By the way, if you want to have a good laugh, do listen to its podcast also:
