The Matriarch of Rumah Katong

A Matriarch with a story to tell. Meet Qing Qing, a renowned fashion designer, and a true-blue Nyonya - a term referring to female descendants of inter-racial marriage between early Chinese settlers and the local Malay community. Hear her stories about the unique Peranakan culture, enter a Peranakan House to learn the inspirations behind her own family house, the material culture of kebaya, kerosang, beaded shoes, and the delectable food from classics like nyonya zhang, ayam buah keluak to laksa.  And the favorite establishments around Katong/Joo Chiat are frequented by her husband and family.
