Little Nyonya

This " Little Nyonya" series was the blockbuster drama celebrating MediaCorp TV Channel 8's 45th anniversary. As you guys know, i only love to watch TvB drama and wouldn't give an eye on any other series but this series really interesting. This series talk about culture and history which is really nice.

I get to know this series from a bunch of friends when we went to a pub opposite The Nyonya heritage house (which they used the heritage house for shooting the drama). You guys know where is it? i forgot the name of the street d. WeiHan said the series is a big hit in Malaysia. So when i went back home, i start my downloading mania. Download all the episode and watch em all.

Actually my grandmother is a Nyonya and my relatives often cook nyonya cuisine. Nyonya food like, Hong Bak (babi ponteh), Sambal Udang, Otak-Otak, Bangkuang Char, Lobak, Kong Asam Sup, Acar Acar, Purut Ikan, Bubu Caca( pengat), rempah Udang (famous in this series), cendol and many more. Now only i know that my auntie know how to cook so many nyonya cuisine. I think someday i need to find some time and learn all of it from her.

Here are some synopsis from the series:

The story begins from the 1930s, spanning over 70 years till modern day.
Ju Xiang is born into a big Peranakan family where her mum is a mistress. During the World War, Ju Xiang is tortured and both she and her husband die, leaving behind their 8-year-old daughter Yue Niang. After the war, Yue Niang's maternal relatives who ran away to England to seek refuge during wartime return home. Yue Niang then leads the life of her mother – always discriminated, beaten up and tortured. Yue Niang is then sold to a butcher, Liu Yi Dao. However, Yue Niang's strong personality impresses Liu Yi Dao and they become sworn siblings instead. Yue Niang decides to choose her own path in life. She begins learning how to run a business and she manages to overcome the odds and save her declining family business. Sadly, her love life has yet to begin a new chapter with no news about her lover, Chen Xi.
