Peranakan mansion melaka - The Baba and Nyonya Heritage Museum, Melaka

The descendants of the community might have married the descendants of those Chinese brides and Malay court officials.

Free weekly street shows featuring Baba performances, and traditional and pop Chinese cultural performances are found in Jonker Street in Malacca.

The Straits Eclectic-style mansion, originally painted white, incorporated both European and Chinese designs.

If you're looking for a private dining experience in a live museum filled with gilded Peranakan history, look no further.

While the museum certainly captures some of the elements of Peranakan culture, there is more you can explore on the streets surrounding it.

This Peranakan high tea is served on tiers with delicately made pieces of glutinous rice dessert, coconut milk dessert, and those mainly with pandan infused and naturally stained colours.
