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

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
