A Hakka Grandma's Labour of Love, In A Bowl Of Handmade Noodles

[@cloudyrain2146]

Grandma's are the real angel in disguise

[@bruhbro1181]

Funny thing is, my father's side is Hakka

[@sk8ergalx]

My best memories of my Hakka grandparents is the food… we always ate Hakka food with the freshest ingredients, made with skill and most importantly love. Indeed women who willingly spend time in the kitchen to prepare the best food to feed the family are beautiful. Food forms such an important bond for Chinese families.

[@lohphat]

"Do you want to eat?" My popo was from a Hakka family and all the siblings of that generation's first words when you cane to visit was "You want eat?" They're all gone now. Their parents emigrated to Hawai`i around 1900 so most of the cousins are still there. To this day 5 generations later, we still keep in touch with each other and the topic is always good food. Good memories.

I'm hakka too... I'm from Indonesia, watching this reminds me of my Bobo.... I love hakka food especially nyuk piang

[@xcript123]

[@benedictasharon6509]

Same in here. I miss my popo :( and saya juga baru tahu kalau nyuk itu adalah bahasa Hakka :')

[@parabintangatomy3628]

This made me miss my Po Po so much she cooked like your Nai Nai.

[@cfyong1105]

Great. A very joyous lady. Because she is surrounded by caring relatives and daughters. Cant ask for more. Respect. Take care.

[@vanessakellylecouilliard4154]

I'm so lucky to have been adopted into my extended chinese family, especially as a white canadian. I miss my po po, who would come over to cook 三杯鸡 in my Shenzhen apartment when I was tired and overworked. She taught me how, also telling me stories of the poverty she lived in before she joined the revolution. I will never forget her.

[@sho9214]

I also miss my hakka popo

[@vanessakellylecouilliard4154]

@@sho9214 we are together in this. I think missing someone is the most painful feeling I ever get. Even more than breaking a bone or anything physical.

I love how she keeps insisting she is 89 yrs old, wnhen they say she is 88, she is so adorable...😂

[@peterchen952]

That is wonderful to see your grandmother is still cooking and able to communicate well with you all. Hakka Yang To-Fu with a little bit of salted fish in it. Yummy!!! Hard to find things like that anymore...

[@thomastang9448]

Thank you for sharing your story, my parents/grandparents speak Hakka at home in Vietnam, I wish I could, I can relate to your story, especially the dialect barrier with my grandpa, I wish I could speak Hakka so I could have been more closer to him

Greetings from Malaysia my mom family is hakka,my late grandma cooks some hakka food it's really good

[@jemimychannel7893]

Either malays, chinese or indians or any other races... old days folks always cooks with their heart without measuring those ingredients.... gram la... cups la... spoons la... nope... they will only say 'agak- agak je' but that agak-agak makes their meals 👍👍👍👍👍👍😘

[@onisuryaman408]

That's how our beloved grandma cooks. I always failed asking her to teach me to cook.

[@rachelpunyanitya8696]

I am a Hakka too from Bantu Pahat. She reminds me so much of my mother who loved cooking and I really miss her Hakka dishes

[@fatimahibrahim4831]

Appreciate them when they still there...n yeah from Malaysia of course....loving fly

[@jh85075]

Grandma is measuring her age the old Chinese way which is essentially 1 year old on day one and 2 when the first birthday comes along. Remembered that from my childhood and being confused to be older than what I thought I was - not that it matters much these days (just old).

[@thomasfebyanto43]

[@eeniemeanie]

definitely watched this without crying.

[@meitsang9072]

Grandma’s hair style is exactly like my mom who also is a Hakka. I miss her so much, due to convid I can’t visit her in Hong Kong and I’m in US.

[@AL-mm4vq]

aw so cute... reminds me of my Nai Nai and Po Po. They both had similar upbringings and made noodles by hand. They were great cooks too.

[@6709LeftzBehind]

This reminded me of my time in Taiwan visiting my great uncle and his family, I wish I could communicate more with them but my Mandarin is no good. Or the relationship I never had with my great grandmas because we couldn't speak to each other. I used to call them waipo and popo because my mother never taught me what I was supposed to call them, but I don't think she knew either. Our family really tried hard to assimilate and a lot of stories and knowledge was lost. I think the most I learned about my family was when my grandfather was sick and willing to share. It's so important to learn your family's stories before they're gone.

[@Zagadoo607]

This made me cry sorta

[@xorawilson]

GRANDMA/PA FOOD IS THE BEST!

[@marielim1519]

If you have a chance better learn..im living with my mum for 23 years o hv learnt a lot of dishes from her since after my marriage n i started to learn how to cook late 30s ..cooking is fun n healthy too..home cooked food is the best..

[@Nonnonnona]

Through my dad, we have a dish name Suan Pan Zi too, my grandpa is from mainland (called Taipu/Taiphu, it sound like that), actually I’m looking for my ancestry, does anybody in here know where is Taipu? Beside Suan Pan Zi, we have Nepan too (both made from potatoes).

[@ILUVBAKKUA]

I think taipu it's dabu county in meixzhou county in guangdong province. In the olden days there were no roads like now so people traveled by river and rivers led to the sea where you can get a ship and that's how southerners migrated out to the whole world. dabu used to be a very rural place when my grandfather went back in 94 but after 2000 much has changed today it has everything malls hotels condos. To see what modern day dabu looks like try this song kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnTHZ3mMq86KeNk&
