[@Sunny_tko]

THAT FIRST DISH 👌 💫

[@ArmandoDy]

That durian pudding with sticky rice looked yummy. 😋

[@MrAkeiyVloggers]

Peranakan dish are style from Baba Nyonya. They combined it Malay + Chinese style. And Baba Nyonya looks like Chinese but they didn't speak chinese, normally they speak in Malay or English. Peranakan dish famous in Melaka @ Malacca. Because there's where they were born and came from. The first meal that you tried, the true step is like how Ying shows. Not dipp in the sauce but pour the sauce into it.

[@Your.Uncle.AngMoh]

Belanda is a Malay word referring to the Netherlands; Bahasa belanda is the Dutch language, orang belanda is a Dutch person, and so on. Peranakans are also called Baba Nyonya- literally "father mother"- or Nyonya. Auntie is delightful.

[@ThatOneMalaysianGuy]

Belanda = hollanda from portuguese

we in Penang, prefer Winn's Cafe which is one of the best, they did not compete for the MStar. Aunty GL is over rated .

[@ainiarif6910]

@@clmc09 do they also serve Peranakan food?

[@rahimmajid647]

@@ainiarif6910 I'm not from Penang, but I do have to agree with clmc here. They're both really good, but overall, I prefer Winn's Cafe. For my taste, Winn's better and doesn't hit the wallet as hard... A bit cheaper. But if it's your first time trying Peranakan food, you won't be disappointed with either one.

[@ainiarif6910]

@@rahimmajid647 thank you.

[@AlongFamilia]

Go to negeri sembilan and try food we call it " MASAK LOMAK SALAI", we have catfish salai, chicken salai, itik salai, its yellow colour and match it with "ulam"....its good trust me...

[@darrellchavez5906]

Holy moly that's a lot of food Budd but it sure's looks enjoyable deliouse

[@isaaclee1634]

Peranakan food is well known in Penang. Still lots of Peranakan ethnic group in Penang Every family's recipe can vary slightly different. Family recipes are passed down from generations. I think this restaurant might be quite new or maybe I haven't been back to Penang since Covid pandemic. Assam prawns all the special tamarind flavor is coated on the shell and head, can be messy to eat usually we go for the head first, sucking out all the flavor and whatever eatable part from the head then we go for the rest of the prawns,

[@JMAis34]

God bless Malaysia.

[@awesomeCalypso]

Nasi Ulam is the best even I only tried once. If you have constipation, I recommend you eat this. This natural laxative is the best. 🤤

[@catherinecruz4338]

You said it all right ❤for the owner.

[@ImanNejat]

3:40 loved that your wife couldn't resist nibbling the curry 😅

[@TomCass-k6d]

Peranakan refers to Straits Chinese who first came over and settled in Melaka around the 14th century and married with the local Malays. The second batch that arrived in the 15th century settled in Penang, Singapore, Indonesia and parts of Thailand. The reason they are called Straits Chinese is because they first arrived in Melaka which is home to the Straits of Melaka.

[@chouhotan6938]

If you married a malay, become malay already, Not peranakan 😅. In Penang and Melaka, most Chinese peranakan is pure breed, just they came much earlier than the rest..

[@northsignstudio7150]

@@chouhotan6938 in old days, married Malay does not become Malay. The rules came recently when the number of Chinese exceeds Malay in 1900s, and Malay afraid they will lose political power

[@saf6996]

I would argue that while there's mixing involved, Peranakan can also be described as straits Chinese bearing some Malay customs that makes them unique

[@yours_sincerely48]

When.Admiral.Zhenghe reach 5 idland (Melaka), Ma Huan, the linguist and Aide to.Admiral.Zheng He noted Chinese from Tang Dynasty already leaving there....The Chinese and Indians jave been leaving in the Siam.Peninsular a long time ago... Patameswara was just renting tje land from Siam for 40 tahil of Gold.

[@yours_sincerely48]

​@@northsignstudio7150No ....The chinese did not intermary but rather they adopt a hybrid or created theur own culture in the Peninsukar and Temasek .They just adopt the Malay language . They still worship their ancestors and celebrate Chinese New Year...Those wonan thst married Malay became Malay woman and no longer consider Nyonya.

I must come here next time

[@frankieg999]

I want to start by saying that I love your videos very much and always jump into them as soon as they come out however the last several video's of yours are regularly punctuated by a cell phone/mobile phone notification sound which is very disruptive to me. I may be the only one that feels this way but perhaps you could ask the person with you in these videos to turn off their cell phone sounds unless it's yours then please Mark, turn off your cell phone sounds!
