QUOTE(la bella @ Nov 29 2012, 03:37 PM) But not all hongkies hate this words, but you better dont say 'Da Bao' as 'take away' food in HK. They prefer 帶走'Dai Zau' or 拎走 'Ling Zau'. How long di no go HK?what "dai zau" or "ling zau" you made them up? they will ask "lek zau" take-away or "noi-sek" eat-in Now they use "hang kai" eg: tong nai cha, hang kai! (or lek zau). teh-ais, tapao/jalan-jalan btw: gua go HK twice a month okay,. |
