What is “Peranakan”?
“Peranakan” means “locally born” in Malay, referring to descendants of early Chinese immigrants who settled in the Straits of Southeast Asia and integrated with local communities. This unique cultural blend gave rise to the distinctive Baba and Nyonya culture, celebrated for its intricate fashion, vibrant traditions, exquisite cuisine, and exceptional craftsmanship.
