Our sister association, State Chinese Penang Association (SCPA) is the organiser of the convention this year. Organiser’s Message: This year, the Convention returns to Penang, bringing together Peranakan communities across the globe in a celebration of heritage, fellowship and living traditions. This year’s theme “Unveiling the Peranakan Within” invites delegates to look beyond the many roles and identities of everyday life and reconnect with the heart and spirit of being Peranakan. The Convention programme combines meaningful cultural exchange with immersive experiences that showcase the richness of Penang’s Peranakan culture. Delegates will be welcomed at the Esplanade for “Dondang Sayang, a Peranakan Street Soiree”, a lantern-lit evening inspired by the nostalgic atmosphere of Chap Goh Meh, featuring Penang’s sedap-licious hawker fare and the timeless melodies of Dondang Sayang. The gala dinner, “Grace Behind the Mask – A Peranakan Masquerade Ball”, marks the first black-tie gala in the Convention’s 37-year history. Elegant yet playful, the evening reimagines the Masquerade as a celebration of the many layers of culture, memory, and grace that shape the Peranakan experience. More than a Convention, this gathering unveils the heart of the Peranakan spirit, leaving delegat…

Baba Raymond and Nyonya Stella reflected on the lively Riverside Peranakan Feast at Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel on 6 January, where there was a Peranakan cuisine showcase, Kebaya appreciation talk and performances by the Peranakan Voices on the opening night. Shirley Tay also released her first cook book, and guests enjoyed an evening of music and dancing. Riverside Peranakan Feast will run until 08 February 2026. TPAS members will enjoy a 30% discount, and member-run stalls offering Peranakan and batik items will also be available. https://www.millenniumhotels.com/en/offers/asia/grand-copthorne-waterfront/dining/food-capital/riverside-peranakan-feast/ Looking ahead, Nyonya Stella previews the March lineup: on 7 March, Dr. Marc Rerceretnam will give an insightful talk on Christianised Peranakan weddings at the Ixora Room, Peranakan Museum.
