The Chinatown of old all the Malays or Indians working amongst the chinese there can speak Chinese dialects like a native.
Even you got to the businesses in serangoon road especially the goldsmith and see them speak fluent Tamil.
everyone should be warned.
im matland, sometime u see street peddlars selling bak chang. pls avoid buying from them. u dunno how old those b c are and what kind of fillings they use. it could be meat from stray dogs :p
bak chang festival is also known as TUAN WU JIE in remembrance of a patriotic poet - chu yuan, i think his name was who committed suicide by jumping off a cliff. the peasants prayed to him by offering polished rice wrapped - bak chang -in bamboo leaves and thrown into the sea. the bamboo leaves wrapper prevented the fishes from devouring the offering and henceforth BAK CHANG FESTIVAL was born.
It simply ridiculous to honor such a idiot like Chu Yuan, he should have just follow the exemplary examples of our great leaders...money not enough don't do lor.
The difference is, we throw Bak Chang or eat, in honour of Chu Yuan, but we would like to throw the hardest, 30 days old bak changs at our great leaders.... ha ha ha ha![]()
too soft..they too thick skinned already..i recommend bricks or flower pots from when they come around your estate..

Where to find bricks? last time can get one from garden & the marking is "Jurong", flower pot made of plastic! very few earthen or porcelin ones...bak chang can only afford the 10 for $5 ones, must keep for 30 days..
our great leeder would want very expen$ive bak chang such as bird's nest, sharksfin, abalone or the likes in value. anyway, i doubt they value a simple feast of traditional bak chang. don't forget our great leeders all live in high ivory tower and if u see them eating in hawker centres, something is definitely NOT RIGHT when they are all being paid in million$ n eating in humble peasants' eateries.
Aiyah! you believe in that shit! this is some Mediacorpse procuction lah!...all arranged one! where you can find these people, who can fly the chef from Timbuktu with a click of a finger to SINgapore, and cook on the spot at their pleasure, eat at Hawker's Centre...just like one of my ex-collegue...bought a packet of "Lobster Crackers" happy like___!, for $1.80...I pointed out " LOBSTER" brand, prawn crackers, ha ha ha ha...same here the packet says 'LOBSTER"..buyers beware! caveat emptor!![]()
there could only be 3 reasons (or motives) behind the happy familee eating in hawker centre scene:
1. it's about time to raise their million$ pay to another obscenerer level
2. wayanging to opera the nation that they might be filthy rich but they do eat at hawker centre ( that would be after the director yelled:....AND..ACTION! and the camera started rolling)
3. to clarify that even though living in high IVORY TOWER, once a while they would gladly lower themselves to the level of peasants and do some great PR stunts.
