I recently visited George Town, Malaysia for the first time. Not only is it a beautiful city, but I was able to discover a side of me there that I never really knew about until now.
These are my thoughts on video. Enjoy!

Roti canai is not Malaysian culture but Indian culture. Malay culture means they don't eat pork and Dim Sum has a lot of pork. I would say those are Chinese culture that you are showing in this video. Cha Kuei Teow also exist in China specifically Fujian province. Those other food like Assam Laksa are influences from Indian spice but it is essentially Chinese food because it has noodles. Noodles originated from China.
Happy come back to your kampung
I love your effort to know. But, what is Chinese Malaysian culture actually? The narrative is sort of lacking. Culture isnt merely define by language, food. It is more than that. How do Chinese Malaysian live? Is different from being a Malay Malaysian? Thanks. I hope you explore the narrative more.
make sure u come to visit sabah and sarawak
Haha, checkout the meaning of peranakan Chinese as well.
Im iban from sarawak my father is chinese and my mom is purely iban.And now i can speak 7 languages
[English,Bahasa Iban,Mandarin,Bahasa malaysia,bidayuh,kenyah,Melayu Sarawak] im proud of my self
I know most of Malaysian speak a dozen of Chinese languages, like Cantonese, Fuzhouese, Hokkien
Sama lah hahaha. Apai cina indai iban
lol u only can speak 4 language like me...iban,bidayuh and kenyah have many similarities and it count as one language call as dayakian...i also can speak more than 2 languages which is malay,kadazandusun,murut,english,arabic
sma geng
Same but i grew up in semenanjung so idk bahasa iban n melayu sarawak 😢
I'm Malaysian Chinese and I lived in Australia. When people ask why I'm not as dark, I just say there is a race called Malay and I'm not that. Malaysian is a nationality while Malay is a race, know the difference people!
it's a valid question for those who know little about Malaysia. just like there are Chinese Indians in India.
Me too
But not Australia
When people in Australia ask me what is my race? I tell them I'm malay. Actually I'm malay Singapore. But they thought I'm malaysian when I tell them my race is malay.
So Malay people is different from Malaysian? Malay is not Malaysians? I don't get it.
One criticism of your video is that you tend to separate the Chinese culture from the Malaysian culture as if it’s another entity entirely. Malaysian Chinese don’t just practise Chinese cultures, they also absorb cultures from other ethnicities like Malay and Indian cultures, which is why Malaysian Chinese are multilingual. If you want to truly learn about Malaysia heritage, you need to expand your bubble outside of the Chinese community. To restrict your experience within the Malaysian Chinese community is simply myopic and do not really paint the whole picture about the beauty of Malaysia. Chinese culture is just a small part of Malaysian culture.
very well explained.
@You Mom is Green Not all Malaysian Chinese called themselves "Malaysian Chinese" in front of foreigners, I myself don't do that, I always refer myself as Malaysian. Only when people were curious (probably due to my Chinese-sounding name) and ask me about my ethnicity, then only i'd tell them I am Malaysian of Chinese ethnicity.
@You Mom is Green Believe me. We Malaysian Chinese would introduce ourselves as Malaysia when foreigners ask about our nationality. If they are curious about our ethnicity, we then tell them that we are Malaysian Chinese and we will explain other races in Malaysia.
Normally people ask me where i came from, i just told them that i am from malaysia. And when they ask me if im chinese, i just said, yeah but im malaysian chinese,not from china. Im mix woth malay but i never consider myself as malay or chinese(look like chinese).
@Chen Chen lol, you're oblivious to the fact that most of the region within the southeast asia is widely known as the malay archipelago back in the days. This encompass today present country Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Brunei, Singapore, Timor. Also, where did u get the 54% figure? Chinese was always a minority in the malay peninsula. You should also note that the citizenship given by British was a pretext under Malayan Union as a British Crown Colony. Majorly, the Malays was the only one fighting for the Independence. The Chinese only joined the fight nearing the end of the negotiation with the British fearing for a massive deportation from the newly formed new independent country. Your forefathers accepted the social contract to recognize the special right of Malays. Why can't you? The Malay people are more than happy to abolish those contract as long as the Malaysian Chinese are willing assimilate with the rest of the community. But as you say, 60 years later, most of the Malaysian Chinese still live within their own closed community. They go to their own school, they speak their own language, mingle with their own people and even look down and discriminate people who simply don't speak Chinese.
I'm from Malaysia and Penang is my hometown. I think this vlog is so beautifully produced, the cinematography, the sequence of each part is just scripted so well. And I loved how u chose Georgetown because it reminds me of how beautiful my culture is! Thank you for this unique vlog and I hope u enjoyed your stay in Penang Malaysia :)
@oo At least they all learnt Malay in schools. What about you? Do you even learn your religion in school?
Just a fun story when I was a kid I identified the English word 'Chinese' as one of the races in Malaysia, and so I am Chinese by race and I am Malaysian as in 'Malaysia people'. I was shocked when I found out that people living in China with China citizenship is also called 'Chinese' using the same word! As a kid I would think they are called Chinasian 🤣
AkiraYC88 Chinasian🤣
lmfaoooooo what
chinasian 😂😂
i speak malaysian cantonese and didn't even know such a thing existed as well (i live in australia) and only discovered after speaking to someone from hong kong that there were so many differences
It's amazing how language adapts and changes.
That's me when I talk to Hong Kongers, I grew up with Guangzhou Cantonese and my accent is quite different
@@eb.3764 hi, curious is there alot of difference or just slight difference between Guangzhou Cantonese and HK Cantonese?
Such an entertaining yet inspiring video! A Jensen Tung class for sure 👏
My man 👊
It is a discovery for you to pay homage to Malaysia. I enjoyed your explanation on the differences and similarities of your ethnicity in Canada. I studied in Toronto and Ottawa for a total of 5 years and can somehow relate with your stories. Welcome to Malaysia, always. Lots of love from Malaysia 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
wonderful and insightful video. I can see my son (born and bred out of Malaysia to a Malaysian mum and an Italian father ) going through all the same emotions you mentioned. Great to see all the emotions visualised, I can relate to your mum!
Hong Kong side, Malaysian side... now share with us your Canadian side 😂
Aloha, Jensen, we love your video about your Chinese Malaysian heritage! It is very meaningful & heartfelt! From Ray (originally from HKG) & my wife (originally from Singapore). Please keep up your great work. Happy Holiday Season to you & your family!
Welcome home! Thanks for paying homage and visiting Malaysia. Please do return soon. Love your video. Cheers!
Hey azhar, can you tell more about visiting Malaysia?
Let’s communicate on WhatsApp: +12135104926
I love love love the video! Welcome back, Jensen! It’s been a while since the last video! Good job, buddy! Sending you lots of love and thoughts and hugs from Singapore! Come back soon!
Jensen, hi, greetings from Australia 😁. I found your video, or should I say, documentary, by accident in my feed, but I loved it so much that I subscribed straight away. Your work is such a highly professional quality. The structure, images, content and naration were amazing. It was a real eye opener to a culture I know nothing about and an insight into you, you're views and opinions etc. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed it. I look forward to viewing many more of your videos. Thanks again, take care 😁😁😁💙💙💙🦘🦘🦘
As always, another cracking video! Have wanted to go to Malaysia for a while and am now curious to investigate Malaysian Canto!
Great video Jensen. Interestingly, we are a Malaysian Chinese family here in Vancouver. That said, your story is very similar to my children's in that they only know about Malaysia through what we tell them (they were born here). As such, I'm going to show them your video and I'm sure they will be able to relate.
Malaysia is most unique country, have malay,chinese,indian,iban, and other race.
I am chinese +malay malaysian, so I am Alien
Love this video so much! Welcome to malaysia, a part from your roots. Glad to see you had so much fun in Penang!
Jensen , i am a Canadian who grows up in HK. The accurate pronunciation of 牛 in Cantonese really starts with ‘NG’. It’s just some Hong Kongers are lazy and omit such sound, but it is not correct literally. Currently teachers are making effort to rectify this so called ‘lazy tougue’ situation in HK, in the hope of making sure everyone really pronounce the Cantonese correctly.
I can relate to so many things in this video as both of my parents are Malaysian-Chinese (I grew up in Germany). I used to be extremely confused about my heritage during my childhood but now getting older and making a few Malaysian-Chinese friends while travelling around I started to learn more about my heritage. It was also surprising for me when I eventually found out that there are subtle language differences between Malaysian-Chinese language and "normal" Chinese. I also always have to explain to people why I look Chinese when I tell them that my parents are born and raised in Malaysia #thestruggleisREAL
Amazing video editing btw!!
This is such an awesome video. I always focus on the editing but theres a lot of depth to this video. Also Joan, dont mind lah those people. Just shrug it off. You dont need anyone else to reaffirm who you are, your identity etc. its up to you yourself, same goes for Jensen too.
Really good video. Cinematography and storytelling quality was on point. You'll get at least 100K Subs by end of 2020 if you stay active and consistent!!!
Going to try my best. Thank you for your words!
You should take few weeks to explore key Malaysian cities like Kuala Lumpur (KL), Penang, Johor Bahru, Ipoh, Kuching and Kota Kinabalu to get a feel of what's Malaysian. Ready to be mesmerized.
Great video!! Beautifully shot
I watched your NUS exchange video when I was choosing a place to apply to. I’ve just finished my semester here and am heading to Penang tomorrow ! Your videos are incredible Jensen !!! Thank you for creating ! 👍👍
Have fun my man! Thank you for your continuing support.
Another great vid Jensen! My family is from Kuching and this brought back a lot of great memories (especially of the delicious food) from when I visited Malaysia. Thanks for this :)
No way, I didn't know your family was from Malaysia!! Thank you for watching my man.
We prefer MALAYSIAN CHINESE.
Other than that, awesome video!
Malaysian Chinese fighting!
Funny. Some prefer to put nationality in front, while others out it at 2nd.
In terms of grammar, it is grammatically correct to say Chinese Malaysian and not Malaysian Chinese
But in Malaysia because of our rojak english, it's safer to say Malaysian Chinese as Malaysians are used to that terminology
@Chen Chen sekarang ni sejak covid ni.....adakah masyarakat dunia nak hormat orang Cina macam awak......?
@Chen Chen apa benda la kau merepek ni
Cool video! I really like the intro to your life and the way you structure the video in parts. 😀 We were in Penang two days ago. It was lovely. 😀
This makes me want to go back to Malaysia so bad again 😭😭 thanks for reviving my love for Malaysia again
Thank you for joining me on my adventure!
hahaha make sure you come here and know to speak malay well because here in malaysia so many chinese cannot speak malay they think that if they speak malay they will get convert to islam and automatically they make the racism here...it's better for being originally china's chinese because u cannot speak malay and not accepting malaysia's official language...
@Jacky Phantom dk paya mau pelihara la bahsa cina ni sbab ko bayangkan la bahasa cina di guna pakai di China yg ada 1 billion rakyatnya...mustahil la bahasa cina bole pupus...cina2 ni dtg malaysia setuju dengan abdul rahman utk tidak melanggar peraturan tanah air maksudnya guna pakaila bahasa melayu tp bukan di pakainya kaum cina2 ni...pastu ckp hanya org bodo jk yg pakai bahasa melayu today jd leave la malaysia apa susah sama2 jaga bahasa cina kamu tu d china sana
@Jacky Phantom haha so that don't claim urself as malaysian...there are no one that deserve for being malaysian if they are using another country official language and not using the language where they live in
@Jacky Phantom yes we are but whatever ethnicity you are,you have to learn and speak our official language...just like kadazandusun ethnicity,although they have their own language but they also use malay language when the trading and others...but why chinese can't be like that?
Awesome video! Love your storytelling skills - video flows seamlessly keep up the good work 👍🏼
I love that your video clearly highlights how the Malaysian Chinese are open to embrace their Chinese culture. For the longest time, we hear so much noise from the Malaysian Chinese that their culture are being oppressed by the Malays in the country. Thank you for showing the truth how the Malays have always been tolerant with the different cultures in the country.
@Chen Chen To be honest i lack the qualifications or knowledge to effectively debate this topic. But i know for a fact that indonesian chinese are far mor united and integrated than malaysian chinese. Go ask an indonesia chinese about their heritage and they will say they are indonesian. Malaysian chinese don't call themselves malaysians and simply say they are chinese. Whatever rights you think chinese are entitled in malaysia are your opinion, but you can't disagree that you guys are being assholes too right?
@Chen Chen ko ni bodohnya, nmpk sgt dah bagitau british yg bagi citizenship, atas hak apa pulak dia nk kasi, malaysia tu nama dulu tanah melayu, ko tok sah pusing fakta jugak lah, tok nenek korang lari dari china sbb miskin. Even segenting kra atau selatan thai pun melayu, sejarah melayu dah lama ada , zmn dulu ada byk perkampungan2 kecil.
Talk rubbish, chinese always never appreciate what is given, perhaps take ur citizenship away. Run away from famine and poor condition in china now trying to feel having the rights over the land owner.
Even if the numbers of malays were few at that time, it doesnt mean we cant have the whole country, how many people could have hectres of land possesed by 1 person??? That is possible,
there are grateful chinese but surely u r not, n try to distort history too, what a liar,
even my grandfather gave a land plot for house to a chinese family who were begging crying at the fringe of sungai Perak, so that they can have a house,
n because of pitiful looking at the dying looking family, so thin n they had also gave away their daughters for adoption to malay families, my grandpa gave them aland for them to have a decent life, and these stories repeated many parts of tanah malayu
Mister Hamlicrazy123 sir to be honest , most Malaysian chinese call themselves Malaysian. If you do a google search of Malaysian chinese , they represent the Malaysia flag proudly.
As for the indonesian chinese , yes they are proud to be Indonesian and rightfully so. We are all products of our surroundings and upbringing . But know also it came with a huge price and even until today the cost is still being talked about ( google about the May 97 riots and the lack of transparency and to come to truth, aka reconciliation tribunal) . Looking united is a whole package not just selected sentiments.
As for the other cultures here in Malaysia, fairness should be applied to everyone and hopefully everyone seeks it with truth .
Also yes, there are assholes from every part of Malaysian society.
MF KL Yes, everyone was poor and everyone helped each other . And so , we should moved on to make Malaysia better . Nobody owns anyone anything , everyone owns everyone something for the betterment of the country.
Chen Chen Even if ( note if i didn’t say it is facts ) what you say is largely true , how you say it is also just as important .
Janganlah kerana kulit, badan terus binasa.
6:26 i cried at the "pandai" word with chinese accent. idk i feel it touched my heart in lovely way
ekkiu me... is pannai
love your vlog/documentary about malaysia! love ur editng, ur explanation, ur videography, basically i just love everything :') Keep up the good work and welcome to Malaysia
yea i have the exact same issues. i grew up in penang with Tsen Neng relatives..and my whole childhood..i was speaking what i thought was cantonese but was actually Tseng Neng. Penang Hokkien is also very diffrent from rest of the world Hokkien because of rojak words like Gostan, Roti, Sabun, Panai
My grandma nvr teach me at all. Now when i speak Tsen Neng, i have to mix some hokkien or cantonese 🤣
This was a very nice story, thanks for sharing. 🙏🏼
Thank you for making this video!
I love this video!!!! You deserve more subscribers. Amazing
I love this comment!
As a Malaysian Chinese, I'd like to say Mandarin is NOT our mother tongue, our mother tongue is based on which ancestral we are instead. For example, my ancestral is Hakka, so my mother tongue is Hakka Chinese. In Malaysia, different states have different Chinese languages. As an example, city dwellers in Kuala Lumpur and other cities speak Cantonese, people in Northern and Southern states speak Hokkien, people in Eastern states speak Hakka. That's it. Mandarin is just a language for us to communicate with other Chinese who lives in different states.
Wow this is an amazing video! It really feels like I was there too!
You should meet my friend Nick, I have a good feeling that you'd get along with him ;)
I used to live in KL. Fascinating culture with the mix of people. Can't wait to visit again; I miss it.
A really accurate video which really showcases the true culture of Malaysian Chinese! Unlike other Malaysian vlogs which aren't really on point with their information, I can see that you've spent quite some time planning this video with your Malaysian friends.
Thank you!!
*It's true that you don't really know about our culture, until you visit the country. We kind of "americanize" our culture and we forget certain parts of what are background entails. Excellent work* 👌
Sick video and very nice story telling bro! 💯
Thank you Evan!
love these vids!
As an Indian Buddhist, it is a vast interest of mine to learn about Malaysian culture and in particular Malaysian Buddhism.... This Buddhist temple is indeed awesome
Loved this!
Thank you Joanna!
i was waiting for this video for so long.
Hello we hope your well . We cant wait to go to Malaysia. we are very excited about going but it seems like a lifetime away . we are due to go next year . thannk you so much for the very well put together vidie . Very Informative and really useful information ,Well done my friend . Sarah and Glenn from the UK . we have now clicked on your bell notification .
Thank you! Have fun there! I really appreciate you for joining the notification squad 😀
This is Trippy!
My wife (Sarah) is also mixed, her Dad is originally from HK and her mom from Malaysia.
We are also Canadians (Toronto) and recently visited Penang, Malaysia....but the weirdest part: My name is also Jensen.
Haha that's actually crazy!
Aah I have a friend his mother is from Hong Kong his father is from Malaysia and they met in Canada. However they live here in Malaysia. Just the opposite of you. Ha ha ha
When my Malaysian friends and I went to a Chinese restaurant, they surprised me because they started talking in Chinese.
They know lots of languages: English, Mandarin, Cantonese etc. Wow. This is amazing :D
Your video is very interesting, as always. Well done. :)
@oo Chinese in Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah, Perlis, Malacca, Negeri 9, Sabah, Sarawak, Labuan: Are we a joke to you?
I’m
Chinese Malaysian born in Malaysia but living in Canada. I’m also learning my past. Fantastic video.
Very interesting video; informative yet entertaining. I like the food part most. Hope you discover more about your chinese-malaysian part.
Hey Carlos, please I would really appreciate it if you can tell me more about Malaysia?
Let’s talk about it on WhatsApp., only if you don’t mind! +12135104926
@@carolmorgan1447 Hi Carol, I'm sorry but I wouldn't be able to help, I am not from Malaysia.
Great Video, as a white British guy who lived in Malaysia for a year when I was young, its always left an amazing impression, I crave the food, which even here in Toronto isn’t easy to find. (WAT TAN HOR is my biggest craving).. Malaysia is a gem, unique in its charm, a lot of the Chinese culture seems even more pure and classic than in China ... I cant wait to visit again when the world settles back to a more normal... following your channel for sure now...
I think only in Malaysia, the Chinese have food like Curry Mein, Laksa, Char Kuey Teow, Chicken Rice, Rojak Buah. There are also many Chinese eateries which compliment their meals with sambal.
5:57 I think thats more common in Hong Kong and younger generations nowadays... its called 'lazy tongue' or something...
But my family still speaks in cantonese pronouncing ng as well... but we are in the UK though
we r malaysian chinese, not chinese malaysian. malaysian must come first.
we r malaysian. need not to mention which ethnic we belong to =)
@Chen Chen Racist betoi hang. Klu nak bangga dgn bangsa sendiri pun xdak masalah. Jangan sampai menghina.
I think 'Chinese Malaysian' is more acceptable as it emphasizes the nationality over the ethnicity. Other examples are Afro-American, Hispanic-American, Asian-American etc...
'Chinese Malaysian' identifies you as Malaysian first because 'Malaysian' is the noun and 'Chinese' is the adjective.
@Chen Chen LOL so much drama and bitterness. in the end we're all human. just go to work get paid, live a good life. none of those that you're so bitter about has ever affected my life nor should it affect yours.
great video. wow this video was a month from the start of covid
Beautiful... I love your channel. Continue please with the good work!
Thank you Joana!
いいですねー！！Grest travel vlog😆i'm gonna go there in neat future. im looking forward to it😎
RYO TRAVEL CHANNEL【世界一周】 lol what’s with the random japanese
wait, I think I went to Penang around december too... gotta say, penang is probably one of the best place to go for holiday.
love from Kuala Lumpur
How many roots do you have?!!! And how are you able to juggle so much work and release such DOPE VIDEOS!!! 😍😍😍 TIME TO STEP MY RUclips GAME UP!!!
Haha well I'm not travelling the world like you are! I need to step up my IG game to match yours man.
❤️
My Partner is Malaysian Chinese and this video makes me appreciate the culture more. (Or just having an excuse to watch you 😍)
This man deserves more subscribers, seriously.
Definitely! Let’s keep sharing and hopefully the algorithm will do its job 💪
Lets keep sharing..😊
He deserves at least 500k:-)
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Awesome video!!!
If you are planning to go to Kuching Sarawak... Lemme know, ill give you a tour. 👌🏼👌🏼
Hope you enjoyed yourself in Penang and you’ll be back one day!!!
I will try to come back in the future!
Try going to Kelantan. Chinese, indians, malays and a few siamese were really bland there. You'll enjoy it. The foods are delicious and cheap.
I definitely enjoyed watching this one
Thank you John!
Jensen Tung of course your welcome
What a great story teller... Keep it up mate!
Thanks my man!
Maybe next you will try to find out your mom hometown...where your mom was born and raised, her school or maybe some of her friends
I planned a few days trip for next month, and from some shot of your video, I think we book the same homestay from that 1 mqnsion. 😙
Hey Deng, can tell me more about Malaysia?
Let’s talk about it on WhatsApp., only if you don’t mind! +12135104926
Great! I am Malaysian born Filipino, and you inspired me to do the same! 😭
welcome to Malaysia! Glad you like it!
I sure did, thanks!
I am Ukrainian. I visited Malaysia twice .Supposing Chinese malaysians to be most hospitable nation on the planet. They are very different from Chinese in mainland. They used to be modest, merry, educated , polite with excellent religion which is not agressive compared to Islam , very tolerant. I wish there were more Chinese in Malaysia definetly.
You're not welcome here
Kau nak china ramai janga harap lah mat ye
I am Chinese and when westerners hear that they start saying negative things about China. I am not born in China though, but Chinese are also majority in Singapore and Malaysia. Singaporean and Malaysian are not ethnicities though but are nationalities.
Because the Chinese people from mainland China cannot actually be called "Chinese" - "Chinese" is a cultural concept, and their culture has been destroyed by communism for 70 years.
Wow I ate at the dim sum place in 2016 !! Remind me a lot of foodie in Penang. I love Ice kachang ❤️
My family's from just across the strait from Penang, in North Sumatra. My family also speaks Cantonese. But also Hakka, Bahasa Indonesia, and other languages.
So you r sg an, malaysian or indonesian??
@@farel-168 Indonesian. North Sumatra is in Indonesia.
Tapi respect sama Cina Indonesia. Sangat fasih berbahasa Indonesia
@@HishamuddinHassan Iya itu kan bahasa persatuan kami. Karena dulu orang putih gak ajarin bahasa mereka, jadi kami pilih bahasa Melayu Riau yang paling netral untuk persatuan. Sayangnya, sekarang kecakapan bahasa Inggris dan hubungan internasional kami jadi kurang maju. Btw, sejak 2014 presiden kami sudah resmikan untuk guna Tionghoa sebagai ganti Cina :)
@@liongkienfai104 saya salut dengan etnis keturunan Tionghoa di Indonesia karena fasih berbahasa Indonesia. Semoga segala bentuk rasisme segera berakhir di Indonesia.
My mom is Hakka Chinese from KK. You did an excellent job showcasing the Malaysian Chinese experience and culture! The difference in language between Hakkas from Malaysia and from China or Taiwan are confusing also!
I am a Penang local but i thank you for coming to our beautiful state, we welcome you with open arms :)
Welcom to Malaysia ❤
Hope you enjoy your time here
It was incredible, thank you for the hospitality.
The temple expended to that size in the last 20-30 years.
Wow 😲 so beautiful and fresh air I want to live and go to there
You should choose your mum hometown to begin with....
Where did you get roti canai in vancouver growing up?
How old were you when you found out you've been speaking Singaporean/Malaysian Chinese your entire life? 37. I'm 37. I didn't know "ma dah" was Malaysian Chinese for police! That's just what I grew up with too. Thanks for this video Jensen, you've inspired me to explore my cultural roots too. :)
Amazing Chinese... Beautiful content. New one.
Thank you!
Char Kway Teow is originally from Chaozhou (Teochew), Guangdong Province, China. Kway Teow (粿條) means rice noodles in the Teochew dialect.
Despite situated in Guangdong province. Teochew is not a Cantonese variant but Southern Min. Which is related to Hokkien from Fujian province.
Penang and KL have slight cultural differences, any Malaysians who noticed it?
cause KL is westernized fucks. they rather be white than being a malaysian
Love George town, that place is awesome, great food too
Nice video, but I have to point out the char koay tewo is actually a Chinese cuisine from the city ChaoZhou in Guangdong province.
Wow amazing❤❣
ok this is story vlog.. can u upload your daily vlog when u in penang.. i mean where u place go with ur friends..
Had no idea men could also have beauty spots. Fascinating.
You look so friendly
welcome home!!
I love Penang, I love dim sums but not the chicken feet! I love durian and satay too.
We went to Hong Kong, the taxi driver called us genius speaking all these languages. They only
speak Cantonese, they can't speak Mandarin! nowadays may English too.
Joanne, I think you have been educated somewhere else, right?
Thank you for sharing Penang, wonderful memories.
hate to burst your bubble but gurney drive is *definitely* not a local spot lol. it's as tourist-y as they come.
One of the things I did notice from your videos is that your video is so much like an essay of a student. It is fun to watch in parts but it is not really a vlog per se...
Nonetheless, I am happy for you that you found something that has influenced you from the root and try to understand how your root has made you who you are.
I wish im still there at Penang when you visit Georgetown... 😉
Just as you are wherever you are, my bro.
