  • In this episode, I'm joined by a very special guest... my mother! Together, we try out one of her childhood favourites - Hakka Mee. Then we visit a hidden Hakka spot in Holland Village, as well as try to cook our own version!
    Have you ever had Hakka Mee before? Let's talk in the comments!
    We visited:
    Hakka Noodles

    I'm hakka, 4th gen originally from HK. Most Chinese in UK are hakka, as well as many in North America, West Indies, etc. Proud of my heirtage, especially food and dialect. We've many illustrious ancestors in Chinese history. And Keanu Reeves is also part Hakka (his grandma 100% Hakka)!

    Awesome vid Sarah! I’m also part hakka so it was interesting to hear your mum’s and your comments about the hakka people in China. Love your take on the hakka noodles and yong tau fu also!

  • @johnlay3040

    A correction:- Hakka is not an English word. There are 2 Hakka words there, ie. Hak = guest and Ka = family. Therefore a "family of guests". Historically Hakka were refugees from the north, escaping the slaughters by the mongols. They travelled down south in family units. That's why they are called that way by the southern locals.

    • @johnlay3040
      @johnlay3040 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@Nicole-gb4ze No. The ancestors of Hakka are northern Chinese.

    • @zephure88
      @zephure88 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Correction. Refugees is defined as people that leave their country . Hakka relocated from northern China to southern China .. therefore hakka is NOT refugees but are ethnic han Chinese.

    I used to live near holland village for over 10 years, sadly I never new there is a Hakka cemetery, I remember a temple near the end of holland village, that was at least 30 years ago.

I personally haven't had this dish and the hakka food I know is more indo-chinese, like chilli chicken, chicken pakora etc. Excited to visit Singapore one day to try this!

    Sarah, it’s a wonder that I came upon this video because I may very well know your mother. She said she taught at the United World College in Singapore near Holland Village in the 80s. So did I.
    I wonder if you can reply to see if we know each other? I have since moved to Canada.
    I hope to hear from you.
    Congrats on the video, interesting and well presented.

    Cantonese trick: you know you can peel ginger with just a tablespoon? (NOT Chinese soup spoon). Just scrape firmly & the skin will be off, no need to cut.
    What? Your mom went to the University of Minnesota? So did I! She must've froze her Singaporean butt off in this 60s or 70s!!!

    Sarah, stop bullying your mom - especially when at times she appears to be daydreaming 🤭. But seriously, you two are a great duo! My background is rather similar to your mom's - i.e. I'm Hokkien on my father's side, and Hakka on my mother's side and I speak beside these two dialects fluently, Cantonese too on the basis that I grew up in a Cantonese community in Malaysia. Having said that, I've now been living in the UK for decades and can still speak all the Chinese dialects today. Can your mom remember the famous Hakka dish called, "Jar Nyuk" (translated loosely, 'fried meat' (pork)? BTW the nearest equivalent to "jialat" (Hokkien i.e. 'lee hai') I can think of, to Hakka is "lee hoi".

    Refugees is defined as people that leave their own country to go to another country .. The Hakka are Han Chinese and relocated themselves within China itself because of war, famine etc they were from northern to settled in southern parts of China .. 广东、福建、广西、湖北、四川 、台湾 etc therefore Hakka are not refugees !
