One of the most recognisable & known form of the Nyonya culture is the Nyonya food/ Nyonya cuisine, which is a combination of Chinese & Malay influences.

Peranakan cuisine can be described as cooking Chinese ingredients with Malay spices. One can find the use of coconut milk, galangal, candlenuts and other herbs and spices, usually not commonly found in Chinese cooking.

The Nyonya food usually takes a lot of time to prepare, and more so under the arms of the fussy Nyonyas, who went they do anything – only ensures the very best.
