The two chefs have made a Teochew cake and spoke our mother tongue.
One aspect of learning a language is to listen to native speakers speaking our mother tongue. Please listen to the video by pressing on the link.
Their Romanised Teochew and use of Teochew characters leave much to be desired and I have written a list of words to help you understand what has been said. I hope you find it helpful.
If you have any questions, please ask in the comment sections.
I have a bottle of lye water and I have had a look at the Chinese characters on the bottle and 梘水 is written on the bottle and I checked with Baidu and you want to have a look.
