Kim Choo Kueh Chang

Kim Choo Kueh Chang has been serving bite-sized treats called Nyonya kueh in Singapore since 1945. These colorful snacks are a staple for Peranakan people — a cultural group prominent between the 15th and early 20th centuries that’s working to be remembered today. But as the popularity of Nyonya kueh increases, some shopkeepers fear that its Peranakan roots will be forgotten. We visited Singapore to see how Peranakan culture and the art of making Nyonya kueh is Still Standing. - Business Insider, 20th July 2024

“The whole purpose is so that we can have this platform to share more about what it means to be Peranakan.
