cooking bitter melon with Chinese bayberry

Iab Hui has just uploaded a cooking video and at the beginning of the video, he said a Teochew common saying.

kou2guê1 ngao5 ion5bhuê5

苦瓜熬楊梅|苦瓜熬杨梅

bitter melon stew with Chinese bayberry

nou5gian2 ziah8 liao2 bhoi6 sên1 tuê5

孥仔食了𠁞生㿗|孥仔食了𠀾𤻊

children after eating will not have ulcerated sores

dua7nang5 li7 liah8 lai5 puê3 muê5

大人哩掠來配糜|大人哩掠来配糜

adults eat it with rice porridge

Do note that bhuê5 rhymes with tuê5 and muê5. The characters for bhoi6 and tuê5 are our Teochew characters and you will not find these in your Chinese dictionaries.

For more on tuê5 go to Zhang Xiao Shan second ed dictionary page 797.
