The most stark contrast is $$$
Here we call it "Lui" transliteration from Duit. Proper cantonese is Chin. A lot of subtle difference la, but Malaysian generally very flexible can mix match and guess the meaning. Our education system also encourage a lot of guess work in communication, we are moulded to conform to others instead of taking the effort to use the "correct" way. |

Dengar kata local comedian is better than Jimmy. Maybe the local comedians have more relevant local contents.
But this snow tea really give me a good laugh. loop a few rounds and drop a like. |

QUOTE(Lada Putih @ Dec 15 2025, 10:26 AM) some of the stuff are got historical reason why they are called that way loke whoreice tea for example back then, kopitiam would order huge ass ice block, shave them to make iced tea, which in a form looks like snow, so they call it xu cha, however with the intro of cheap ice cubes where they would spend it on just plain water thus come the term peng shui wait till you discover why hokkien for raining sounds the way it sounds isit becoz ah loke is a whore? |
