I found your website by chance while searching for molding machine to mass-produce kueh pie-tee cups. I appreciate you sharing the recipes to all. Nyonya food is definitely unique and delicious and I will always love them. From the spicy sambal belacan to the sumptuous pong teh, to the exquisite buah keluak and to the delectable itik tim, it's hard not to miss them. But sadly, the new generation of Babas and Nyonyas can hardly speak the language, what-more cook these authentic dishes. Thus, websites like this is definitely a welcome sight! Thank you! Jimmy B.

I found several old flour bags (meehoon thay) in my mother's kitchen in Penang. I wonder whether you or your relative can remember what it was used for. I think the cloth was used for squeezing grated coconut for santan and also for draining water from the wet ground rice. Any memories?

I'm also in Lake Elsinore and would love to hook up with another Nyonya! I always cook up a storm for my Chinese New Year party every year. This year is no different. In fact I'm prepping ingredients to make Jiu Hu Char today (taking a break to check for other recipes online). Do you know where I can get fresh pandan leaves here in the States? All I can find is frozen ones and they don't work! Thanks Another Penang Nyonya in SoCal Hi Bee

My husband (who worked at the United Nations)and I are 5th generation Singapore Straits-Born, living in NYC for the past 30 yrs. We've seen the influx of Malaysian restaurants with Nonya dishes becoming popular here. Both my daughters grew up with my cooking and are good cooks themselves. Bravo for having a successful website that will keep the taste alive... Keep it up. :-) Kim Hi,

It's very hard to do such as post because I don't have the Nyonya cookware/bakeware samples here in the US, but thanks for your suggestions. Thank you.

I am part Nyonya and enjoy every bit of Peranakan food over anything else. Unfortunately, growing up 80s in Singapore, much has diluted and sadly, it is when I step into the Singapore heritage museums that I realize how much i grew up Peranakan! Can you do us a favor and do a story on basic Nyonya cookware/bakeware that we need to have to get equipped? i.e. how to make a 101 Nyonya kitchen...

There is a place call Nancy's Kitchen at Jonker Street. Try this google map : http://maps.google.com.my/maps/place?oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=nancy%27s+kitchen+malacca&fb=1&gl=my&hq=nancy%27s+kitchen&hnear=malacca&cid=15083504182873605402 As for myself I have inherited a blood line from both Malacca and Penang Peranakan but unfortunately only found out recently. However I believe it is never too late to know our heritage and culture. Presently I have just joined the association of Peranakans Baba Nyonya Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. It was only inaugurated last year as an official association and recognised by the Tourism Govt of Malaysia. If those who knows the history, Kuala Lumpur as the capital city of Malaysia does not have original Peranakan but due to the growth in economy in the early days, many have left from Penang and Malacca to work in the capital. The association is at presently setting up a website to actually link Penang... Malacca, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore Peranakan togather. Due to the growing interest we that is the central want to be that link. If Bee or anyone you know have an interest in Peranakan would like to link up, do email me at adelym2000@gmail.com. P/s: Bee, can you give me more details of your tour. We are also helping Peranakan to promote any website or items of interest. Hope to hear from all of you and especially yourself Bee. Thanks.
