I am also surprised that this kind of small talk can made it to media.
One thing for sure, mummyjune cannot bao $60 otherwise her identity might be exposed. -

lucky we do not adopt Taiwanese culture. They open the ang pao in front of you and so many people queuing up behind and announce loudly to the person who writes the amount. lucky gave ang pao as per normal diner’s rate.
It is good idea to adopt that culture in 15 years time. -
Wow, scary man, lucky not born in Taiwan. No money then how?? I think people getting married pls do us a favour, pls don't book expensive hotel, it makes thing difficult for us, no wonder it is called the red bomb!!
:moneyflies: -
in China & HK, ang pow for wedding dinner besides aiming to cover cost, it must also reflect the position of the giver vis-a-vis the wedding couple
for example, an ordinary hotel dinner could cost HK$8k per table of 12 pax, but if giver is boss of the couple, the market rate is HK$20k
same rates in China too, Rmb 500/pax is the norm for city hotel dinner, but if boss attending, market rate for boss is anything Rmb5k upward -
When I got married quite some years back, my immediate supervisor come alone also give me $500 ang pow. Den he say something that really touched me, he say he know I work very hard for him and although he cannot guarantee me promotion because many systems and politics, he say he will remember and try to reward whenever he can.
Nearly cried sia. He some more like half drunk. I dunno if he trying to make me work even harder. hahaha. -
Not bias but ang moh gives angpow quite generous. Usually $500 so it is good to have angmoh boss.

I remember my local colleagues conned our ang moh bosses into giving huge ang baos for a colleague's wedding.
The main instigator was our FC. :evil: He told a bunch of ang moh bosses that it is the norm to give ang baos starting and ending with figure 8 and cannot be below $100. So most of them give a minimum of $888.
