I am hakka myself. Grandparents are from Meixian Guangdong migrated to Jakarta. I heard all Chinese in East Timor are Hakkas

[@rothschildianum]

Yes, many of the are the Lay family..... Related to the "Toko Lay" in Pasar Baru.

[@tonypang4700]

Great success story. As a hakka from Singapore now in oz I can fully understand their story😊

[@scotthughes7440]

Hakka people are EVERYWHERE!!!! I was born in Jamaica to a Hakka/Jamaican family.

[@prst99]

Good people. I'm also Hakka and worked for happy garden around 25 years ago. They've been around a long long time. Can't believe they have 4 branches now. I only remember 2 shops. One in casuarina and the other one.

Tamarin sauce in hakka food ? Never heard of it !

[@sjelucten7150]

Hakka people use Tamarin a lot. They use Tamarin sauce for fried chicken, fried Prawns .

[@act_sion]

@@sjelucten7150 From which region ? I am Mauritian Hakka ( my dad had a restaurant ) who have spent some months in Meizhou ,Guang dong. And I have never heard of tamarin sauce or satay in hakka cuisine

[@Theo-bk6qj]

@@act_sionI think it mainly originates from South East Asia when many Hakka migrated throughout South East Asia during colonial time.

[@sho9214]

@@act_sionI met a hakka girl from Mauritius in Singapore, also a girl moved to Melbourne

[@angrybutters]

@@sho9214 I'm a Hakka boy who was born in Melbourne and never got to learn my family's history which I've decide to do now, finding out my history. I heard a story or two from my dad about the civil war. He was lucky he knew how to speak indo which got him into places that a lot of Timorese couldn't and fights he got into with soliders as a young 20 year old. I'm cuious to know which hakka you speak.

I love Chinese food but not MSG.

[@delloda]

So you must hate parmesan cheese too then as it has a ton of MSG in it. Acutally most savoury snacks like all chips, soups and stock powder in the supermarket are also loaded with MSG too.

[@Neojhun]

Uncle Roger is very disappointed at you.

[@cammyfeng4066]

You hate the king of flavour?
