My lovely Ning-Ning from Kaiping, Guangdong, always used to say in her astute way and sharp Cantonese accent, "Yum cha!" Thank you for bringing the memory of her back to me.

[@sapenelopelarsipan2915]

It’s just more fun to say “chai!” Than “tea”

[@GregorM-rp6pv]

Great explanations

[@rodrigosalazar426]

how funny how the world uses two completely separate words based on the origin of port. how odd!
