These sounds sounds more like a Southern Chinese language, not Mandarin. Mandarin has highly simplified set of finals (essentially /n/, /ng/ and /r/) which cannot even combine freely with most vowels. But Southern Chinese languages preserve a more complex final system.

I still don't think "Shok Jok" sounds very much Chinese (It mostly sounds American English[1] to me), but YMMV.
