Iong Me Me Ship Pat Se
 |
The picture on the left side is a famous Hakka dish called "Chhi-Pa". It
is made from rice. "Iong Me Me Ship Pat Se" means a lamp which is 18 years old.
The song is about a married girl. She takes the train
to return to her home. She has made some Chhi-Pa, but she is
so poor that she has no sugar to put on it. So she can only eat Chhi-Pa with
dirt.
