What is the correct spelling of the word. It's pronounced [ba:k choi]. Is it suppose to be spelled ''pak choi'' or ''bok choi''.
Pak choi or Bok choi

I pronounce it /bai tsai/ and spell it "bai cai" because I speak Mandarin.
If you want to use the Cantonese name, you know "pak choi" and "bok choi" are very bad British/American imitations of Cantonese so you should just spell it "bak choi". Don't give a damn about those guai lo/lau wai.
