My family tradition the seventh month of the hungry ghost festival | speaking in Penang Hokkien

[@brianrollins3245]

thanks for the explanation Victor, I grew up on Penang so was aware of these traditions and now you and your mum have filled in the details.

Thanks @brianrollins3245…I’m glad by sharing my mother’s tradition has brought back memories for you. 3 generations. I hope I can do her proud when it comes to my turn.

Thank you for sharing.Reninds me of my own childhood and how i regret not paying attention to keep traditions alive. Ching ming and such traditions are important, its paying respect and gratitude to ancestors. 🙏

[@foodtripwithvictor]

You’re welcome…and I’m still learning my tradition, events that rely on Chinese calendar that I can’t read or understand being English educated 🤣 Fortunately now there’s Apps, and I’ve downloaded so I can know which days are significant for our ancestors 😊

How nice and interesting, by the looks of it anyone visiting your mum for food is in for a great treat! Make sure you tell her Victor there are people 6000 miles away in awe of her food, she is a skilled lady. Hope you all are doing well, and a special thanks for your mum allowing you to share this.

@@foodtripwithvictor any good Assam laksa near Batu ferringhi?

[@foodtripwithvictor]

@@audriccheah not that I know of. The hawker centre in BF is mediocre for me. Mostly cater for tourists.
