What does little nyonya mean?
Native Chinese women living in Southeast Asia such as Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore.

These people are generally descendants of the combination of Chinese and locals, and they have the blood of two countries. When I was born, I have been living in Malaysia, Singapore and other places. Because of the integration of China culture and local culture, a unique Nyonya culture has been formed. Little nyonya can be understood as a little girl who lives in Southeast Asia and has some Chinese ancestry.

Nyonya culture:

Nyonya culture is more integrated into many local cultures, based on Chinese dialect in daily language, and mixed with many Malay, Thai and English. There are many elements such as plum blossom, peony and phoenix in China in clothes, and Nyonya dishes in meals, which is a combination of Chinese food and local cuisine.

Many Nyonya dishes can be found in restaurants run by local Chinese, Malays and Indians. The famous Nyonya dishes include braised chicken with black fruit, Lesha, curry fish head, stewed pork with sour angle, Nyonya miscellaneous vegetables, and roasted shrimp with stinky beans.
