    Help with translation of Chinese kids song


    Can anyone tell me what this song is about?
    This is transliterated from a 4 year old with a Mandarin/Cantonese/Oklahoma accent, so don't laugh please.

    Hong Kong
    Hong Kong
    Chew dour batch ay ee (!?)
    Ho Doh.... (uninteligable)
    It seems to be some kind of song ChooChoo sang at her orphange.
    Something to do with food in Hong Kong?
    Thanks,
    Chuck

    PS Isn't she cute?

      English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark alleys, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

        She is from Shenzhen, right across the fence from Hong Kong.

                  Definitely a cute one you have on your hands. Best get the shotgun ready for when she gets older

                      Don't think any of these are correct, but heres a few cool links.

                          And we have already had the experience of seeing a 4 year old boy from 3 houses down run along behind her yelling "I Love You Choochoo" at the top of his lungs.

                          So it's gonna be a rough one for the boys

                            I've already had the suggestion from another Shenzhen parent that it could just be a TV ad that she saw beemed over from HK.
                            But, worth a shot to ask.

                              In all honesty I still largely root for my homestate team and uni of choice, Florida State, but I've been transplanted and since I live in Poketown...

                              My son is five so I've been enjoying his little romances for a little bit now
