    I'm Singaporean Cantonese too. Now I'm teaching my toddlers Cantonese too. I don't want them to lose it.

      I am Malaysia Cantonese. I always wonder where the Cantonese had been in Singapore.
      even though I know they are minority but you won't hear it normally at public

      @@raveshiryu Cantonese is actually the 3rd largest group in SG after Hokkien and Teochew. Hakka and Hainanese are minorities. Malaysians are just HKers/Cantonese wannabes. Met a lot who are not cantonese but they speak cantonese at home which is weird to me.

    My Cantonese could be considered mixed with Toisan hua as well. My dad was from Hoiping and my mom was from Toisan. I grew up in the States. Very nice video.

      @@singaporeprivatechef Yes. I do speak both. I first started speaking Taishanese first as a kid and then picked up standard Canto when my aunts and uncles, and grandma and granddad from my mom's side came over to live in the US. By the way, I think your Cantonese is really good. To me, it sounds practically native level. I definitely don't think I'm quite that smooth. I have some Malaysian Chinese friends I met in the 1980s that told me that KL has a large Cantonese speaking community.

    I am intrigued by both your cousins and your english and cantonese accent, and you were both born in Fiji. I've learnt something new today. It sounds so similar to the older Singaporeans.

    You should go to Chinatown market. In Singapore, Chinatown is where the Cantonese people have traditionally congregated, so most of the older stall owners in Chinatown market speak Cantonese. When I was young, Chinatown was the place to go if you wanted to have some affordable Cantonese food.

    I moved to Singapore last year after being born and raised completely in Hong Kong to serve NS, but was disappointed with how few opportunities I’m able to utilise Cantonese. Ironically, the best Cantonese I’ve heard yet is from a Dutch national who is a PR in HK and in SG. He looks as angmo as they come, yet he speaks in relative fluency. He was my bunkmate for my first phase of NS.

    I see no problem for you to go to Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh..Even my friend, a hokkien family speak Cantonese at home. Its a lingua franca for Chinese KL and Ipoh folks. But sadly the demographic change as more Mandarin speaker due to China influence. Cantonese now a dying breed.

    The veggie lady definitely isn't discerning. Your accent isn't HK or Canton. Btw, my family roots canbe traced to Sze Yap as well. We're San Wuis: 新會. Lots of overseas Chinese are Sze Yups.
