Coming from a Penang Peranakan family, Ken Choong and his family always have traditional Peranakan cultural delicacies for their Chinese New Year reunion dinner every year.

“During Chinese New Year, we’ll usually be busy making nyonya delicacies. But my dad will be 91 and my mum 89 this year, so we’re keeping the celebrations simple,” says Choong who lives in Petaling Jaya.
