Dear Nyonyas and Babas,
In this month’s video, I am joined by my TPAS GC members, Nyonya Eunice Yap, new Head of Membership and Assistant Honorary Secretary, Nyonya Stella-Clare Wee, Head of Events and Baba Clarence Ling, Culinary Advisor.
Nyonya Eunice shared exciting news about our first youth-focused event, Gua Siapa, which was a hit with the younger Peranakans! With strong interest in future youth events, she encourages everyone to invite your family, friends, and neighbours to join TPAS and keep the spirit of our culture alive.
Nyonya Stella-Clare also gave an exciting preview of our upcoming activities for the Singapore Heritage Festival this May, held in partnership with the National Heritage Board. Mark your calendars and register now:

(correction: as Polling Day falls on 3 May 2025, the Jalan Makan tour is now rescheduled to 24 May)
Baba Clarence promises that the Mother’s Day Tok Panjang lunch will feature an exquisite menu with heritage dishes rarely found in restaurants. As a special treat, each guest will take home a generous portion of freshly baked sourdough bread—infused with Peranakan flavours and made using a thousand-year-old sourdough starter. You will also receive a fragrant individual sachet of Bunga Rampay, a crowd favourite that was quickly snapped up during the Peranakan Museum weekends in April.
And there is more—a surprise guest will be joining us! He’s a living legend, a recipient of a prestigious heritage award, and guaranteed to bring warmth, wisdom, and a whole lot of fun to the celebration.
We hope you enjoy watching our video clips as much as we enjoy putting them together.
Warm wishes,
Nyonya Genevieve Peggy Jeffs
President, 2024 – 2026
