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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

Tel: 6-089-751777, 752996 Fax: 6-089-752997<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 />
