The Little Nyonya

Since January this year, I've been taking the bus instead of the MRT to and from work. Although the travel time is longer, I've seen many advantages to it. One of these is the on-board entertainment. Most buses, if not all, in my route have these mini television sets from TV Mobile. TV Mobile is a subsidiary of MediaCorp TV which is the leading media company in Singapore. Sometimes the shows are quite amusing that I'd stop watching cartoons on ParSniP. This week, TV Mobile started showing The Little Nyonya, a drama series which was very popular among Singaporeans when it first aired in November last year and it holds the record of having the most number of nominations for the Star Awards. The latter alone made me curious of the show. It is in Mandarin and English-subtitled which works for me since I'm used to watching Japanese anime.

The story is centered on the Peranakans, the descendants of Chinese immigrants who have adopted Malay customs, and it gives an insight of their unique culture, traditions, and cuisine. You can view the full synopsis here.

I've only watched two episodes so far and I find it interesting. Let's see how the story progresses.
