Peranakans are proud descendants of early Chinese migrants who settled in Penang, Malacca, Indonesia and Singapore. These Chinese inter-married the local Malays and addressed themselves as Nyonya (ladies) & Baba (gentlemen). Nyonya cooking is the result of blending Chinese ingredients with spices and cooking techniques used by the Malay and Indonesian community. Here’s our list of the Top Peranakan Restaurants In Singapore, a comprehensive makan options of the  Best Nyonya Food put together from Singapore’s foodies & bloggers experiences. I must stress that they are not placed based on ranking.
