A Reunion Feast at Nine Dragons, Dixon Street, Sydney
2008-02-08 00:48:00 Nine Dragons at Dixon Street Our reunion dinner on the eve of Chinese New Year was spent with our friends from China who have traveled to Sydney on our invitation. Their hotel is near Chinatown so it was convenient to take a walk around to find a Chinese restaurant. I did ask David to book a table earlier but he assumed wrongly that it would be easy to find a place to eat. Most of the restaurants were either booked out or full. The next table was after 9.30pm! We became quite desperate to feed our friends on this special night. Nine Dragons was the first restaurant we came across which had tables. I was a bit apprehensive and thought that the availability of tables on this night meant that the restaurant was not popular but after savoring the food, found it to be reasonably priced and the food was good. We did notice a lot of Aussies there - the sizzling teppan beef and lemon chicken seemed to be a favorite among them. The Chinese restaurants in Sydney serve mostly Cantonese style f...

Tones in Cantonese
2008-01-26 17:05:00 This post is written in response to a question posed by blogger Chinese Language Lesson concerning my post entitled 'How I Learnt Cantonese' in the comment column. He asked me whether there are tones in Cantonese as in Mandarin. Well, Cantonese has the four tones too for inflection but it has the least 4th tone. The following examples will clarify the existence of tones in the above Chinese dialect. Numerals after the words represent the tones. Example 1 Cantonese: Lei2 hui1 pin4 tou3? English : Where are you going? Example 2 Cantonese: Khuoi2 hou2 sar4 ch'an3. English: He is very stuck up. Example 3 Cantonese: Li tou hai mat ye tai fong? English: What's this place? Example 4 Cantonese: T'eng4 yet3 choi1 lai3 guo1. English: Come again tomorrow. Example5 Cantonese: Pin4 guo1 wa3 hai3 kum2 kay2? English: Who says it is like this? In English, if I adopt the same tone s...
How I Learnt Cantonese
2008-01-13 17:15:00 I was born a Hokkien, a Chinese who speaks Penang Hokkien. Then how did I learn Cantonese? Well, I learnt the Chinese dialect through my aunt - the ‘sister’ of my late father. She had no place to stay and my kind-hearted dad allowed her to live with us and soon she became my aunt. She was a Cantonese by birth but she could speak Hokkien. At that time, Redifusion - a cabled radio was very popular in Penang. I was attracted to Cantonese because of the story-telling slot by Lei Tai Sor. In order to understand these stories, I needed to know Cantonese. As fate had it, my aunt became my Cantonese teacher. I would be listening to the story and asked her some words a day. Some of the initial words I learnt from her are as follows: 1 hai [yes] 2 hm hai [no] 3 tim k'ai [why] 4 Lei ku hai mat ye? [What do you guess it is?] 5 hm kwoi sai [thank you] 6 hou sa chan [very proud] 7 yi kar [now] 8 t'ng yet [tomorrow] 9 kay hou t'ai [how beautiful] 10 hou c...
