And well, since we’re on the topic, check out the following video below if you haven’t seen it already. It’s from the Hokkien Advertlets Reviews for Malaysia we had sometime back, and here’s what the author of the video, Daniel of BlogWawasan.com has to say:

“Everyone in Penang knows Hokkien. So, Josh Lim’s challenge isn’t really that much of a challenge-lah. To up the ante, we decided to do a video review instead. Not your everyday video review though, but a Hokkien video review by 2 non-chinese dudes. Then only got challenge.”

Enjoy!
