While many Chinese people might have heard their parents scold them with a choice phrase, doing this at Crystal Jade could get you free char siew.

Crystal Jade offering free char siew worth S$15.80​

The Crystal Jade char siew promotion was brought to wider public attention when a netizen shared it in the Complaint Singapore Facebook group on Monday (3 June).

According to a photo of the sign she posted, customers can get free char siew, or roasted honey barbeque pork, worth S$15.80.

All they have to do is like and follow them on social media and get their parent to say to them in Cantonese:

生嚿叉烧好过生你.

This loosely translates to: “Giving birth to char siew is better than giving birth to you”.

Crystal Jade char siew promo meant to be light-hearted​

According to an Instagram post by Crystal Jade on 29 April, the promotion is legitimate and valid over four weekends across May and June.

The free char siew, which was redeemable on 4-5 and 11-12 May, as well as 8-9 and 15-16 June, is meant for dining in at Crystal Jade Hong Kong Kitchen and La Mian Xiao Long Bao outlets with one’s parent.

It’s meant to be a light-hearted way to celebrate Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, it said.
