I wish I could get invites to Malaysian Chinese wedding event.. but I know its hard for hostess to provides Halal menu for Muslim guests.. they need to do separate list.. I'd been to Indian wedding, it was so amazing.

[@ChirpyChat]

As mother of the bride, I find this video instructive and informative - 10/10!! We are Cantonese, too, in SG! (Glad I found a video that is not a subtle disguise to show off dowry like some).

[@sara_khong]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lscheah1]

Congratulations Sara n your other half! Thank you for showing us all these places of eateries & the culture of a Chinese wedding. Your mom is super happy as can be seen from her smiling face all the time.

Many likes for showing and promoting Chinese customs and traditions. The earliest written record of this mushroom cultivation is seen in the (龍泉縣志) compiled by He Zhan (何澹) in 1209 during the Song dynasty in China. The Chinese name is Xianggu. Much earlier than in Japan.

This is very informative. This is like a documentary worthy of National Geographic. I am not Chinese but I found this very useful to the young generation who need to know about their customs. TQ for making this video & I look forward to your wedding video as well.

[@sara_khong]

Glad you enjoyed it! I think what we do is not the full customs/ proper. Other people even hire 'tai kum jie' - bride's chaperone - to say auspicious words. It's more of the modern version where things are simplified. Though it was still a lot of work already!

Hi Sharon. You're welcome. It's called FNC. Here's the link: facebook.com/FNCHQ/

Hi Sara, I think it is Tawau Tanjong Market. Funny thing, I come from Singapore. I havent visited Tawau but I just googled it. Tawau is an interesting place for processing birdnest, sea jelly and salted fish. It is an hour from the divers' paradise in Semporna. I think malaysians from peninsula need to travel with passport to East Malaysia.

Would have love to be the fly on the wall. lol. You both look like a very handsome couple. How long do you celebrate the engagement for and how how long is the weeding? I have been thinking of you since We wrote to each other. Have a beautiful wedding., you deserve it! Love to you and your mum xoxoxox

Hi! Wow, you lived overseas longer than you do in Malaysia. It's okay, I'll be filming my wedding as well - you're invited virtually to watch via KZbin :D The engagement is short; just receiving the gifts and then lunch after. There would be another tea ceremony and 'fetching of the bride' event. That is the main wedding event which I plan to film too. Thank you for the love! ♡
