Meet the Baba Nyonya again

This episode actually continues to tell the story of the impact of Zheng He's voyages to the West: As Zheng He's fleet cleared the Malacca route, more Chinese came to Malacca and even the entire Malay Peninsula, and the Baba Nyonya, a Chinese-Malaysian mixed ethnic group, was born.

Baba Nyonya inherits the cultural traditions of the Chinese nation and actively integrates into the local society. They integrate the essence of Chinese and Malaysian cultures to create an independent Baba and Nyonya culture.

Nyonya clothing "Kebaya" and Nyonya cuisine are the most "out-of-the-circle" representatives of Nyonya culture. Although one is "clothing" and the other is "food", they have something in common: they are rooted in Chinese culture and blended with Malay style. The colors are bold and eye-catching. Baba Nyonya and its culture are the fruit of the exchange and integration between the Chinese and Malaysian peoples, and are the bridge of friendship between the two countries.
