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

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.

@@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.
