Dear Nyonyas and Babas,
In this month’s video, I’m joined by Baba Mervin Wee and his wife, Nyonya Jean Yip.
Baba Mervin shares memories of growing up in a Peranakan household and the traditional dishes he enjoyed as a child. Nyonya Jean fondly recounts learning to cook Nyonya cuisine from her in-laws, especially her late father-in-law, Chef Jolly Wee. Together, they speak about how they live and preserve the Peranakan culture through food, attire, daily practices, and passing these traditions on to their grandchildren.
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
The Peranakan Association Singapore
