Peranakan Trengganu Festival

The State Chinese Penang Association with kawan kawan

The Perfect Hostess

Rare breed, young Peranakan girls,
as they make up about only 2.6% 
of the population in Trengganu

The party was warm and lively

More young Peranakan gils!  
Trengganu is doing very well in bringing
them onboard.  

As as with any Peranakan festivities, 
the food takes centre stage with their 
colourful kuehs and flavourful breads.

Roti Paun, a favourite bread whose flavour 
comes from the butter filling in the bun 


savoury akok manis

nasi kerabu, Trengganu style



my plate of local delights1

Rambo size Satay.

I am thankful I was invited on this table 
of Trengganu Peranakans, sowarm and friendly.
They made me feel like I have known them all 
my life. If I am living in Trengganu, I would have
picked these ladies to be my best friends!

Joget time!

The nyonyas get on the floor for a rousing ronggeng.

Alex from Trengganu, Penang Nyonya, and Kelantan Awang


One of the nicest things when we meet is to see
seniors having a good time on the dance floor.

When Baba meets Nyonya on the dancefloor.
But  not just  any nyonya, but the 'unsinkable'
Molly Mak, flirty, and giving this cowboy a run around. 


Singer and choir from Trengganu belts 
popular tunes that's good enough to get
everyone on the dancefloor.

More Trengganu beauties, the future
face of the Trengganu Peranakan Association.
