Are You Hokkien?

Tim with Marcus Chin and Huang Jinglun (10 October, 2010)


Are You Hokkien is a Singapore television series produced by Threesixzero Productions for Singtel Mio TV Cable Television to be broadcasted on Jia Le Channel. It is hosted by veteran Singapore actor Marcus Chin, and Taiwan-based actor Huang Jinglun. For the second season of this show, the film crew travelled to Malacca and Klang before coming up to Penang.

In Penang, the show visited the clan jetty and Khoo Kongsi, as well as looked at endangered trades such as stone carving. I met up with the team, who wanted to know about Hokkien Mee, and showed them my favourite stall.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
