WHY KANTANG?

 

We often say "jiat kan tang" to refer to people who are more English-educated to the detriment of their Chinese proficiency. Kan tang (literally potato), staple food of Westerners, seems to symbolise that lack of competence & confidence with the Chinese language system. Hence I'm using it as the name of the blog, with the logo showing french fries (the most "westernised potato" in town).

​

This blog aims to repackage chunky pieces of Chinese contents (= potato) into bite-sized portions (= fries) to simplify & stimulate learning.
