I just finished watching a Singapore drama called "The Little Nyonya" and I am now missing my hometown and my country...haha...because in the drama, it showed the Baba Nyonya food that make me want to go back and try it...So miss the food there and really long time dint eat that kind of food...
In this drama, it said about the culture of Baba Nyonya or "Peranakan" (also means descendants) and the life of Peranakan family in the past...I was so happy to see this drama because it can promote the culture of Peranakan to everyone who saw this drama...Eventhough I am Malaysian, I dont know much about their culture, but I just know that they are Chinese who adopted the Malay customs and combine these two customs together as "Peranakan" culture...The language of the Peranakans, Baba Malay (Bahasa Melayu Baba), is a dialect of the Malay language (Bahasa Melayu), which contains many Hokkein words...Baba refer to men ofPeranakan while Nyonya refer to young women, and for elder women, is Bibi...
Actually before this drama, I saw a television show which was also showed about the culture of Peranakan, but it is a comedy. The "actresses" in the show are Baba, but they acted as Nyonya...The funny of this comedy was the way the actors talking, because I was first time knew about Peranakan, so in their conversation, they use many Hokkein words...Haha....Miss that show...My mother told me about the culture of Peranakan when I was in primary school since she had a Nyonya neighbour last time...She told me that the Nyonya was a "Ma-Jie" who is maid that dont want to marry for whole life...
If you want to know more about Peranakan, you can search with Google or other materials...
PS: Miss Malaysia...haha....
