Peranakan culture and history in Melaka, Malaysia is very much present until today. The Baba and Nyonya are descendants of the Chinese who came to Malaysia centuries ago and married the local people.
Little did I know, I am also a Peranakan from Indonesia. I didn't have a good grasp of what peranakan is although I know that I am Chinese Indonesian (orang Tionghoa).
Aside from finding out a bit about my ancestry, we also tried some peranakan nyonya food. Some nyonya food that we tried: popiah, nyonya laksa, pie tee, ayam pongteh, udang lemak nanas (pineapple prawn), and lots of nyonya dumplings and nyonya kuih. We also tried a Malaysian food delicacy: cincalok (fermented shrimp).
Too bad the Baba & Nyonya Heritage Museum in Melaka is closed due to covid/ RMCO in Malaysia. We would have loved to learn more about the Peranakan history. I guess that is the downside of travelling in Malaysia during the coronavirus outbreak.
We hope you enjoyed our vlog!

Hey sista Ivana, I'm Peranakan too, from Malacca! Woooohoooo..... And yes, your Chinese clan name is spelt as Wee in Malaysia, and a lot of Wees in Malacca are Peranakan. That house Steve was admiring belonged to the Chee family, the richest Peranakan family in the world.

It's a big debate over which school of thought is "better". On the one hand it seems like Indonesians are one and have more nationalistic pride (to an outsider's eyes anyway), while Malaysia still has underlying ethnic tensions and to be honest, we don't really know each other as well as we think (or let other people think).

@tunperak1256 4 года назад

As far as I know the Baba & Nyonya (Cina Peranakan) are decendents of Chineese traders who settle & live in Malacca during the Malacca sultanate period. So their culture is a mix of Malay & Chineese. They understand Chineese language but don't speak them. Hence come the term Orang Cina Bukan Cina.

@pegaga1618 4 года назад

Peranakan Chinese is result from inter marriage between immigrant Chinese and local South East Asian (Malay or Javanese or Southern Thai). Peranakan Indian, therefore is inter marriage between immigrant Indian and local SEA. Eropean mix SEA is also peranakan, aka Serani.

@chiangchengkooi9791 4 года назад

Oei, i think your surname likely in Mandarin is Huang 黄, which means yellow. Lot of the Chinese that migrate to Indonesia and Malaysia are South Fujian, the language use by them are Minnan Language. Taiwanese is an example of Minnan language. In Malaysia Minnan language is know as Hokkien dialect. It is use by the Chinese in Penang, but sad that it losing out to Mandarin. Hokkien got several sub dialect and they pronounce and spell it differently. In Malaysia Huang are spell as Ooi, Wui, Ng and Wee.

Most of the peranakan Terengganu aren't really have Malay ancestry unlike Baba Nyonya, but they are being classified so because they are deeply assimilated into local Malay culture after living among local Malay people for generations.

@cityliving-rainforestperson 4 года назад

Steve's "orang Cina yang bukan Cina" is quite spot on. When the Chinese started moving out of China and moved to the Malay Archipelago, some ancestors probably married locals. Along the way they adopted and adapted local herbs and spice to make their own signature cuisine. In Melaka especially... the Peranakan speaks a particular mixture of Malay and Chinese dialect. They're also more westernised as compared. Ivana... feeling that you are all three cultures aren't bad. Here in Malaysia, we have people who are the product of mix marriages feeling the same way too. 😄😄😄 You should get yourself a pair of the Peranakan Kebaya! 😃

@adelynchee6000 4 года назад

The house which Steve mentioned as a private property (you're right Steve) is the Chee Yam Chuan Temple. It belongs to our "Chee/Chi" clan and it houses our ancestral tablets. Filial piety is big in Peranakan culture.

Real Pranakan speak Malay. The older Pranakans in Singapore and Melaka spoke Malay in everyday life..with Chinese dialects used for religious and ceremonial purposes. They are example of natural assimilation due to trade. They need to speak Malay to communicate with Malays and Indonesian traders, customers and local chieftains/Sultans. The large waves of Chinese migrants in 1890s and 1900s were so large that at sime point they almost outmumbered local Malays, so these new Chinese migrants with their insular attitude and unlike the Pranakan, never see the need to properly speak Malay .

3:43 That one's called Angku Kuih aka Red Tortoise Shell cake. rasamalaysia.com/angku-kuih-red-tortoise-cake/ "Ang" means "red" in Hokkien. It is called "Angku Kuih" because it is traditionally prepared and served red. "Angku Kuih" simply oval-shaped Chinese pastry with soft, sticky glutinous rice flour skin wrapped around a sweet filling in the centre. It is molded to resemble a tortoise shell and is presented resting on a square piece of banana leaf. In Chinese culture, the color red is traditionally used as a symbol of joy and happiness whereas the tortoise symbolizes longevity, power and tenacity. As such, red tortoise cakes are of a high cultural significance and value amongst the Chinese people. They are typically associated with auspicious occasions and are especially prepared during birthdays and religious festivals to symbolize blessings and good fortune. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_tortoise_cake Alternative names Ang Ku Kueh Type Pastry Course Snack Place of origin China Region or state China and Southeast Asia Main ingredients Glutinous rice flour

Watching Ivana cooking at their friend Farell's house during MCO...I did sense Ivana is also peranakan as she was quick to pick up all the Malay words and names quickly and adjust to all the spicy flavours and cooking methods and she did not mind visiting so many Chinese type of temples during her Penang trip. Kebaya is also the uniform for the Singapore Airlines and Malaysia Airlines . Well done cendol green strands , with just pure fresh coconut milk, pandan leaves, red beans and real gula Melaka syrup and shaved ice is an ideal dessert..of course with durian flesh..heavenly flavour. Thanks for sharing the 2 location to get nice peranakan food. This is the second vlog highlighting the nyonya chang or nyonya dumpling..Rm 6 is fair price as non tourist areas also selling around that price and not as good.

In this region, Peranakans are generally concentrated around Melaka, Penang and Singapore. So, there being Peranakan in Indonesia is not a big stretch anyway.

Did you manage to check out the Peranakan culture up north in Penang Island then? The museums there are exquisite and the Clan Houses are Heritage Sites.

Oh Wow! Now I have more reason to follow your tour, this is getting interesting hope after C19 over, we can follow your journey finding Ivana's roots back to Indonesia and to China and Scotland! Ivana dad's name is Oei Cheng Ho? you better google and search because Melaka got a very famous chinese Admiral name Cheng Ho!!! They starts the Peranakan in Melaka...you can start searching at Cheng Ho Gallery at Jalan Kota. Kelantan have the kebaya just like the peranakan, but different style on the chest area.

Peranakan culture is predominantly Chinese-Malay nowadays, but in the wider sense, it’s settlers intermarriages with the locals (e.g. Portugese marry local Malay in Melaka, they are known as Peranakan as well). It is due to the trading history of the Straits area, resulting in the Peranakan culture pretty prominent in Penang, Melaka and Singapore

Malaysia is one of the country which try their hard to protest and still manage to keep the culture. It’s will be nice to see if In the past, Indonesia never block all the Chinese related things
