Editorial Board<br />

Baba Nyonya or the Peranakan refers to the descendants of the early<br />

Chinese immigrants to the Nusantara region, who have partially adopted the<br />

Malay customs in an effort to be assimilated into the local community. One<br />

way of showcasing the traditional Peranakan culture is The Baba House. It is<br />

located within 5-minute walk from the bustling Jonker Street and holds the<br />

charms of traditional Chinese Baroque and Chinese Palladian style. You will<br />

be transported back to the bygone era whenever you stay at The Baba<br />

House.<br />

Editor's note<br />

We have started the first <strong>three</strong> months of 2012 with our Quarterly Promo<br />

where we promote our newly tie up Friends of Tanco (FOT) hotel<br />

partners by giving a remarkable so-called “introductory prices”. Such<br />

promotion continues for the next <strong>three</strong> months to come, where we are<br />

going to promote more newly tie-up hotel partners. We truly hope that<br />

our readers will take such opportunity to venture into a very affordable<br />

vacation with their loved ones and, at the same time, save on their<br />

holiday budgets.<br />

Apart from a hassle free and affordable holiday ex<strong>per</strong>iences, our<br />

current issue is focusing on one of our proud heritage that brings a lot of<br />

colors to our diversified cultures. Our Cover Story talks about The Baba<br />

House, a heritage of the Chinese descendants dated back to the<br />

glorious Malacca’s Sultanate. The Baba Nyonya or also known as the<br />

Peranakan is indeed one of the colorful heritages that Malaysia is proud<br />

of, bringing a fusion of lifestyle, language, dishes and not forgetting,<br />

fashion. Our tie up with The Baba House will bring back the memories of<br />

the yesteryears, with modern touches. Adding to this colorful heritage is<br />

our Destination – The Jonker Streets, one of the “must-go” places in<br />

Melaka. You can spend your whole day at Jonker Street by just<br />

checking out the attractive shops along the street. Visit the Baba<br />

Nyonya Heritage Museum during the day and listen to a good music at<br />

Libar Cocktail House after the sun has setting down.<br />

Do flip over for our pictures gallery of the Vacation WorldClub Annual<br />

General Meeting as well as the Backpackers’ Trip to Karimunjawa,<br />

Indonesia. In order to make this section more colorful and interesting,<br />

COVER STORY<br />

Baba Nyonya (Peranakan)<br />

(Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peranakan)<br />

Baba Nyonya or Peranakan refers to the descendants of early Chinese immigrants to the Nusantara<br />

region, including the British Straits Settlements of Singapore, Malacca and Penang, and the Dutch<br />

controlled island of Java among other areas, who have partially adopted Malay customs in an effort to<br />

be assimilated into the local communities.<br />

The word of Peranakan is also used commonly to describe the Indonesian Chinese. In both Bahasa<br />

Malaysia and Bahasa Indonesia, Peranakan means descendant. Baba refers to the male descendant<br />

and Nyonya, the female. Most Peranakans are of Hokkein ancestry, although a fair denomination of<br />

them is of the Teochew or Cantonese descent. The language of the Peranakan, Baba Malay (Bahasa<br />

Melayu Baba), is a dialect of the Malay Language which contains many Hokkein words.<br />

The Baba Nyonya was partially assimilated into the Malay culture, especially in food, dress and<br />

language used, while retaining some of the Chinese traditions and culture, like religion, name, folk<br />

medicine and festival celebrations. Thus, creating a new kind of mixed culture from their country of<br />

origin with the local.<br />

From the Malay influence a unique "Nyonya"<br />

cuisine has developed using typical Malay<br />

spices. Examples are Chicken Kapitan, a dry<br />

chicken curry, and Inchi Kabin, a Nyonya<br />

version of fried chicken. Pindang bandeng is a<br />

common fish soup served in Indonesia during<br />

the Chinese New Year and so is a white round<br />

mooncake from Tangerang which is normally<br />

used during the Autumn Festival. Swikee<br />

Purwodadi is a <strong>per</strong>anakan dish from<br />

Purwodadi, it is a frog soup dish. Nyonya Laksa<br />

is a very popular dish in Singapore and<br />

Malaysia, as is Kueh Lapis, a type of multi<br />

layered cake, most often eaten at Chinese<br />

New Year to symbolize a ladder of pros<strong>per</strong>ity.

Baba Nyonya (Peranakan)<br />

CONTINUE<br />

THE PERANAKAN retained most of their ethnic and religious origins (such as<br />

ancestor worship), but assimilated the language and culture of the Malays. The Nyonya's<br />

clothing, Baju Panjang (Long Dress) was adapted from the native Malay's Baju Kurung. It is worn<br />

with a batik sarong (batik wrap-around skirt) and 3 kerosang (brooches).<br />

Beaded slip<strong>per</strong>s called Kasot Manek were a hand-made made with much skill and patience:<br />

strung, beaded and sewn onto canvas with tiny faceted glass beads from Bohemia<br />

(present-day Czech Republic). In modern times, glass beads from Japan are preferred.<br />

Traditional kasot manek design often has European floral subjects, with colors influenced by<br />

Peranakan porcelain and batik sarongs.<br />

Historical and cultural items from the Baba culture are displayed in cultural establishments on<br />

Heeren Street, Jonker Street and other streets in the same neighborhood in Malacca; the Pinang<br />

Peranakan Mansion in Penang, Malaysia; and at the Peranakan Museum in Singapore. Furniture,<br />

food, and even traditional clothes of the Baba and Nyonya are exhibited.<br />

Free weekly street shows featuring Baba <strong>per</strong>formances, and traditional and pop Chinese cultural<br />

<strong>per</strong>formances are found in Jonker Street in Malacca (Melaka). The shows are part of the <strong>night</strong><br />

market (pasar malam) scene, and are usually crowded with shop<strong>per</strong>s, both local and foreign.<br />

health rejuvenating spa holiday in prime tourist resorts. Incorporating a vacation along with the<br />

treatment is a growing trend for many international UK and US patients because of the lower<br />

expenditure in Malaysia compared to what they would have to spend to undergo the medical<br />

treatment alone in their home country .For example cardiac bypass surgery in Malaysia is typically<br />

US$6,000 to US$7,000 , compared to US$50,000 to US$ 125,000 for same procedure in the US.<br />

All participating private hospitals and facilities are licensed by the Malaysian Ministry of Health with<br />

valid accreditation from national or international bodies recognized by International Society for<br />

Quality in Health Care(ISQua) or Malaysian Society for Quality in Health(MSQH).<br />

Therefore, the medical practices followed in Malaysia is at par with the best in the world<br />

,incorporating sophistication as well as international ex<strong>per</strong>tise . The medical team consist of specialists<br />

who have been trained in outstanding medical institution around the world while visiting faculty<br />

Stepping up ,Malaysia`s ambition to become the medical research hub for the region has been<br />

invited by the collaboration between private Malaysian and American investors to set up a medical<br />

school and hospital in Selangor under the world renowned teaching and research medical institution<br />

John Hopkin University.

purple and blue. You can even find those clogs in different sizes for<br />

Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum<br />

At the beginning of the 16th century, merchants and entrepreneurs were lured to Malacca’s shores due to<br />

stories of the city’s burgeoning success and wealth. In particular the city saw an influx of Chinese traders<br />

who arrived in droves in an effort to escape Manchu rule. These entrepreneurs went on to marry local Malay<br />

women – descendents of these marriages were known as Peranakan or ‘Straits-born Chinese’.<br />

Their relative success resulted in these expatriate merchants becoming the principal wealth catalysts of the<br />

thriving city. The ‘Babas’ (male Sino-Malays) flaunted their affluence by purchasing Dutch townhouses and<br />

transforming them into out-and-out palaces. The interiors of these homes were opulent and stuffed to the<br />

tee with Dutch-influenced fixtures including hand-painted tiles and Victorian lamps.<br />

ABOUT US<br />

Salang is located at the North-West of Pulau Tioman. It is the last stop for all ferry services from Mersing. Salang<br />

Beach Resort is situated on the left of Salang jetty. You need to walk about 5 minutes to reach the resort.<br />

Salang is located on the northern tip of Tioman Island and most tourists prefer the idyllic quiet village. This<br />

might be because of the very nice beach, the little bit of <strong>night</strong>life (that you would find only here in Tioman)<br />

and the nearby diving sites. It is adjacent to Monkey bay and Tulai Island and therefore a preferred<br />

destination for snorkeling and scuba diving.<br />

ROOM TYPES<br />

The Salang Beach Resort is located towards the north<br />

of Salang Village. At the edge of the slightly rocky<br />

beach, the wooden chalets are all clustered around<br />

a garden that is dotted with picnic tables and gazebos<br />

and has hammocks tied between palm trees.<br />

Built in “kampung” (village) style, all chalets have an<br />

attached bathroom and some have a beautiful view<br />

of the sea. Fan-only rooms offer simple comforts while<br />

the air-conditioned chalets are carpeted and a bit<br />

more spacious.<br />

ABOUT US<br />

Sipadan Water Village is a resort beautifully constructed with Bajau architectural design. Part of the Mabul<br />

Island is also home to groups of Bajau fishermen who have built their traditional palm thatched houses.<br />

The Bajau Laut, the world's only tribe of nomadic sea gypsies spends their lives on the water. Over the years,<br />

some have entered a transition from sea nomadic to sedentary village life at a former major anchorage site<br />

such as Mabul.<br />

The entire resort is built over water on stilts made of Belian Wood commonly called ironwood, laid in certain<br />

points so as to minimise damage to the existing reef. In its design, Sipadan Water Village has achieved near<br />

utopia in its over-the-water layout, splendid water cottage accommodations with flowered sidewalks,<br />

wonderfully prepared Asian and Continental cuisine, and impeccable and <strong>per</strong>sonable.<br />

ABOUT US<br />

Nipah Bay Villa is as many hotels at Pangkor a family business. For this reason you will feel very much at home.<br />

The hotel is great for families as for couples who want a nice little chalet with all the comforts as<br />

air-conditioning, attached bathrooms and television with satellite connection.<br />

LOCATION<br />

The location of the hotel could hardly be better, it is close to the Teluk Nipah beach. It is located in a<br />

site-street of the main road at Teluk Nipah. The beach, although not visible from the chalets, is no more then<br />

a very slow 2 minute walk.<br />

The hotel chalets are all in the back, in the quiet area. There's much done to make this a cozy place. Many<br />

different kind of trees with flowers grow around the chalets. It's like walking around in a tiny village. Even if it's<br />

full it's still quiet. The chalets themselves are all nicely decorated. Depending on your wants, you get bigger<br />

and more comfortable rooms but there are no rooms not decent done. A new feature at the restaurant is the<br />

new build library. The owner have build a reasonable sized collection of books which will be available for the<br />

quests for a small fee.<br />
