Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum

The Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum is a private museum in the Chinatown area of Melaka. The museum is housed in a classic nineteenth century Chinese shophouse, restored to the state it was in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. Tours of the house are guided, so you get lots of information about every little detail of the lives of the old Straits Chinese. The museum takes its name from "Baba", the word for males, usually from China, and "Nyonya", the word for women, usually local natives. It was the common Chinese practice for merchant traders to marry into local families to strengthen ties. The family that still owns the house were spice traders, so such a marriage would help them gain access to local farmers. In a traditional Chinese shophouse, business was done in the front half of the lower floor, while the back half and all the upper floor were living spaces. Since the owners of this house had three shophouses, the front of the lower floor of one was used to conduct business, while the same space in the adjoining lot was used to receive social visitors. Rooms are generally delineated by richly carved panels of teak or rosewood, with patterned glass panes that let through light but don't provide a clear view of what's going on in the other room.

Nyonya/ Peranakan Culture

One unique thing about the Nyonya/ Peranakan is the Nyonya language/ Nyonya patois, which is a mix of their local dialects with the Chinese dialects. However, again, this differs from place to place. For example, the Nyonya/ Peranakan in Malacca/ Melaka speak with a base of Malay language with a few words from the Hokkien dialect. Despite using the Malay language as the base, however, their pronunciation differs. There are some new words as well. The Nyonya in Singapore speak a closer lingo to the Nyonya Melaka, though their pronunciation differs slightly, and usually a native speaker is able to distinguish this. On the reverse is the Penang Nyonya whose language base is hokkien, with some Malay words. Over the years, the Peranakan has learnt to speak other languages – mainly English during the colonial times. The younger generation are also learning to speak Chinese, with many parents sending their children to Chinese school to adapt to the opening of China. This attitude of the Peranakan can be seen as very flexible – where they try to assimilate to what is important. This is interesting to note, as while many new migrants from overseas usually still have stronger affirmations to their country of origin, the Peranakan community sees their new home as their main home.

Nyonya Food

Nyonya food, as the name suggested, is the food of the Baba-Nyonya in Malaysia and Singapore. Known also as the Peranakan or the Straits Chinese (Straits-born Chinese), these groups of people are descendants of the very early Chinese immigrants to the Nanyang or 南洋 in Chinese–which literally means the “south sea” region. The origins of the Baba and Nyonya could be traced all the way back to the Chinese Admiral explorer Cheng Ho, who sailed across the Indian Ocean more than 400 years ago to Melaka, a busy and prosperous trading port back in the early 15th century. Nanyang or 南洋 refers to the the Malay peninsula and the islands of Java... อ่านต่อคลิ๊กที่ภาพ

Nyonya Kebaya

The Nyonya kebaya is a traditional blouse associated with the Peranakan culture, worn by women and is popular not only in Malaysia but countries in this region, i.e. Singapore, Indonesia, and Southern Thailand, which have a historical background of Malay ethnicity. The true origins of the kebaya is not clearly known, with some speculating that it was brought over by the Portuguese and others claiming that it is of Chinese origins which spread and evolved till it reached this region. The earliest form of kebaya, at least in this region, emerged from the Indonesian islands and was exclusive, at the time, to the Javanese monarchy. Through time, in each country the kebaya has evolved and developed differently, and has absorbed different influences and has rightfully acquired a unique identity of its own.

Pinang Peranakan Mansion

The Peranakans, also known as the Babas and Nyonyas, was a prominent community of acculturated Chinese unique to this part of the world, especially in the Straits Settlements (Penang, Malacca and Singapore) hence its other name, the Straits Chinese. Adopting selected ways of the local Malays and later, the colonial British, the Peranakans had created a unique lifestyle and customs which had not only left behind a rich legacy of antiques but its cultural influences like cuisine and language are still evident in Penang today.

Kasut Manik

Kasut manik (sometimes spelled as kasut manek) is also known as beaded shoes (kasut = shoes; manik = beads). Basically, the front of the shoes are designed with beads, making motifs of any designs – from animal motifs like goldfish, flowers or even mosaic. There are 2 versions of beads used. There is the bigger/ rougher beads which actually makes beautiful kasut manik. However, for those familiar with kasut manik, they usually go for the more expensive kasut manik which comes with fine (halus) beads. And when put side by side, the difference of the 2 shoes are striking.

Preserving Peranakan Culture

Preserving Peranakan Culture an excerpt from Anne Pakir's paper on Peranakan In Plays: Culture Record or Compelling Drama The Chinese Peranakans in Singapore, Malacca and Penang are a distinct, culturally vibrant people with a heritage dating from the sixteenth century. The Chinese Peranakan community is also synonymously known as the Baba community and the Straits Chinese community. Generally, there has been a confusion about the term "peranakan" because the term applies not only to the Babas of Malaysia and Singapore but also to a host of other people in the region. The term "Peranakan" simply means "born of the soil, native, locally-born" and applies to anybody born here. There are other "Peranakan Jawi" (locally-born Arabs), Peranakan Yahudi (locally-born Jews) and Ceti Peranakan (locally-born Malay speaking Hindus from southern India). However, the numerical superiority of the Peranakan Cina, or Chinese Peranakan, has resulted in their simply referred to as Peranakans. "Peranakan in this paper then, alludes to the Chinese Peranakans. There is a lack of written records documenting the origins of the community but it is generally accepted that the first Peranakan community arose in Malacca through intermarriage between Chinese immigrants and Southeast Asian women.
