2. Cantonese at Home with Locy Lee

《一盅兩件》 is one of the popular songs in Locy's class! Not only children but also parents love singing it. The idea of the song is to introduce our Cantonese food culture 點心, alongside our unique colloquial Cantonese adjectives: 軟腍腍 (jyun5 lam4 lam4), 香噴噴 (hoeng1 pan3 pan3), 黐立立 (ci1 lap6 lap6), 脆卜卜 (ceoi3 bok1 bok1), 滑捋捋 (waat6 lyut1 lyut1).
