CHIU CHOW FOOD (Teochew, Chaozhou Homestyle) - Fung Bros Food

This video got me thinking about Teochew identity, which I haven't thought about since I was a kid - younger than 10 years old. I'm 32 now, for some context. My great-grandma, who was from Chao Zhou province, baby-sat me for years and we spoke Teochew to each other. But when she died, so did my ability to speak it. And I was too young to have developed any sense of cultural identity.

So now, after a quarter century of zero Teochew awareness, hearing Olivia, Ie and the Prince speak it triggered these weird, partial-flashbacks. Like what they were saying sounded familiar but the meaning was just beyond my grasp. Still though, it was an unexpected wake-up call and reminded me after all these years that hey, this is a part of who I am. Not what I was expecting when I clicked on the video.

Thanks for that :)

It feels really nice hearing teochew youtubers speak teochew because not a lot of people speak it nowadays. I remember struggling with my identity because I couldn't relate to people who spoke Canto or Mandarin, but couldn't really identify myself as a Vietnamese person, even though my family speaks it fluently. Thank you for uploading this!

[oliviathai]

I'm a Teochew speaker from Connecticut and I love that fact that you guys are bringing light to this subgrouping of Chinese!  I visited Shantou (where the language originated from) and it was incredible to see/hear where the language came from.  I have met Teochew speakers in Bangkok and Paris...we're all out there!  Don't be afraid to speak Teochew!

Indonesian Teo Chew here! :D West Kalimantan, and yes. Once I see another teo chew nang, we freak out cos it's hard to come by. I'm also one of the few younger generations that still speaks the dialect :D

[AndreaS-jclp]

haha the prince of chiu chow is hella funny XD

[celenanana]

I was so happy when you guys mentioned Cambodia because whenever I tell people I'm Cambodian-Vietnamese people are always like "what's Cambodia?"

[Morwenna]

Why is no one talking about how gorgeous Kane I think I'm in love

[bluntkrayon]

Finally some Teo Chew love! It's so true when you bump into another Teo Chew person - instant connection!

[vivleeaqua]

YES!!!! FINALLY!!!! It's hard saying I'm Chinese and then people only think that there's mandarin or cantonese :(

[kobenoyashi]

One common thing I've noticed from these videos and my personal experience at different Asian restaurants is that the food is so creative! So many different flavors coming together to make the best dishes!

[ChowChowProduction]

Chiu Chow here. :) there's a lot of us in Los Angeles Chinatown.

[SebTheHeck]

Wow! it's really great to finally see u guys doing vids about Teochew culture. It is a subculture of Minnan which settles in Fujian Province, yet it has a great influence on many of the Chinese culture.  The reason why u don't get to see many Teochew ppl in north America is because, we don't usually go that far away from home, so many just went south to Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia.

I'm Thai and live in Thailand but my grandmother is a half-Chiu Chow so that makes me 12.5% chiu chow. I've never learned to speak Chiu Chow because my great grandpa passed away when my grandma was like 3 months old, although my grandma taught me how to count 1-8 in Chiu Chow and I thought chinese people spoke Chiu Chow when I was younger but turned out there are a lot of dialog in Chinese. Anyway just wanted to say I can relate to this video more than the Thai food one that you did lol because I grew up eating these food similar to the one you have in the video because there are a lot of Chiu Chow people in Thailand. The way he calls kidney in Chiu Chow makes me so excited because we use that in Thai too XD

[theojambalaya]

I'm Vietnamese, Chiu Chow, Japanese, French and Irish and I really want to thank you guys for making these awesome videos exploring all the different Asian cultures! You guys are the best! Also, Banh Bot Chien is my fave!!!! <333

[NobleKnight]

Wow finally! I'm definitely glad to see others speak my dialect! I was very confused and pissed having Mandarin and Cantonese friends who says I'm not Chinese xD haha.

[patriciahulderman]

My husband is 7/8 Teochew and 1/8 Vietnamese. He was born in Cambodia. I love Teochew food! My MIL used to own a restaurant so she's amazing.

[valeriecao]

Holy crap...I grew up thinking this was Vietnamese food. I always get these at Chinese/Vietnamese restaurants. i love Mi chau Chao kho (pretty sure I spelled it wrong). I know we have hieu tieu (which looks like what you're eating) but I know that has Cambodian influences.

[elsalisa]

I'm really liking the mix of food videos you do. I learn a lot about the food and your friends are great!
