#Wedding gifts laid out in the bridal chamber in a #Peranakan home in Penang, Malaysia, c. 1920. The slippers in the two cabinets are likely decorated with beadwork or embroidery

These dishes take so long to make. Why do we Peranakans torture ourselves like these 🥲

#FotoVorschlag: Sitzgelegenheit // Seating

Oh Mann, das Thema ist so ergiebig! Einen letzten Beitrag erlaube ich mir noch, weil mir dieses #Sitzmöbel auch fast 10 Jahre später noch im Gedächtnis geblieben ist: ein Tête-à-tête, gesehen im Pinang #Peranakan Mansion in #GeorgeTown, Malaysia. Angeblich durfte sich die Jugend auf dieser Sitzgelegenheit keusch beschnuppern, bevor die Ehe von den reichen Familien arrangiert wurde.

Today's theme is so extensive, I have to add one final submission, because even after 10 years, this #furniture left a lasting impression on me. It's a tête-à-tête I saw in the Pinang Peranakan Mansion in George Town, #Malaysia. Apparently, the young folk were allowed to chastely get to know one other on this piece before their filthy-rich families arranged their marriages.

I made otak otak from scratch, baking it in puff pastry like my fave Penang Peranaken restaurant. Kinda nailed it, tbh. #otakotak #malaysianfood #nyonya #peranakan
