At the dinner table...
Calling your elders to eat is a luxury that today we enjoy but perhaps do not even practice! Who ate first? Was it the man of the house or the Matriarch? What do we use fingers or fine china? What dishes were served and for what purpose?

Our School Days
Any stories to share on that teacher that gave you a hard time because of your grasp of the Chinese language ( or lack thereof)? Kneeling on bottle caps, caned, whipped, you name it, share it! Games we played, 5 stones marbles, and more!

**Straits Chinese Porcelain:**
Wealthy Peranakans acquired porcelain wares that were made in Jingdezhen in China's Jiangxi province. In the third quarter of the 19th century, the Peranakan communities of the Straits Settlements (Penang, Malacca and Singapore) began to demand wares in distinct, bright colours, influenced by the hues of Qing dynasty imperial wares.
