<p>Nonya cuisine is one of my must-haves whenever I go back to Singapore! Have any of you heard of and/or tried Peranakan or Nyonya cuisine before? Read on to learn more about the origins of this cuisine, and also my Top 2 Favorite Dishes!</p>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>最近、シンガポールへ帰りました～　皆様、プラナカンやニョニャ料理をご存知ですか？これは、シンガポール人の地元の料理ですよ！今回の話題は、プラナカンやニョニャ料理の解説をしたいと思います！そして、私のTop２に入る好きなニョニャ料理も紹介したいと思います！</p>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="400" height="300" src="https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/nyonya_rachel_leng_2aaff.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4992" srcset="https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/nyonya_rachel_leng_2aaff.jpg 400w, https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/nyonya_rachel_leng_2aaff-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></figure></div>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h3 id="about-peranakan-and-nyonya" class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading">About Peranakan and Nyonya</h3>



<p>The word Peranakan translates roughly to ‘locally born and bred’, with the popular idea being that Chinese immigrants married local Malaysians; resulting in a unique culture with entirely new traditional beliefs, clothes and cuisine. The men are called “Baba” and women are referred to as “Nyonya,” respectful and endearing terms for men and women respectively in the Indonesian language. As the women were primarily responsible for providing meals for the family, Peranakan cuisine is also referred to as ‘Nyonya’.</p>



<p>In this way, Peranakan and Nyonya food is a unique blend of Chinese, Malay and other Southeast Asian cultures. It originates from Chinese immigrants, who in the 15th century moved to the regions that are now Malaysia and Singapore and Indonesia, blending influences and cooking traditions and creating&nbsp;an exhilarating combination of all things tangy, spicy, herbal and aromatic!</p>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>プラナカン・ニョニャとは？</p>



<p>プラナカン(Peranakan)とはマレー語で「ここで生まれた」を意味し、英語では&#8221;Born here&#8221;と訳されます。19世紀末頃までに各国からマレーシアに移住してきた男性（中華系移民、インド系移民が多く古くはポルトガル人の子孫もいます）が、現地のマレー人女性と結婚し、生まれてきた混血の子孫を総称して「プラナカン」と呼びます。プラナカンの男の子をババ、女の子をニョニャと呼んでいます！プラナカン料理はよく女性が作っていますので、「ニョニャ料理」と呼ばれています！</p>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>

<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h3 id="a-taste-of-nyonya-cuisine" class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading">A Taste of Nyonya Cuisine</h3>



<p>Shall we try some Nyonya Cuisine together? Recently, my family and I went to PeraMakan, a Nonya restaurant in Singapore! The name of “PeraMakan” is a clever combination between “Peranakan” and “Makan” (which means “to eat” in Malay).</p>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>ニョニャ料理を試してみましょう！</p>



<p>皆様、一緒にニョニャ料理を食べてみませんか？先日、家族と一緒にシンガポールの「ParaMakan」というニョニャ料理レストランに行ってきました！</p>



<p>このレストランの名前は、「Peranakan」と「Makan」（マカン：マレー語で食べることを意味する）の組み合わせです！</p>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" width="400" height="300" src="https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/nyonya_rachel_leng_4bb99.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4994" srcset="https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/nyonya_rachel_leng_4bb99.jpg 400w, https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/nyonya_rachel_leng_4bb99-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></figure></div>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Dishes we ordered (from left to right); nonya ngoh hiang, Beef Rendang, Bendi Goreng Sambal, Belinjau Crackers, Assam Buah Keluak; paired with young coconuts and red wine</p>



<p>見た目は、中華料理なのですが食べてみるとスパイシーでエスニックな感じがします。激辛ともいえる香辛料を多用した味付けが特徴といえるでしょう。</p>



<p>Next, for my Top 2 Favorite Nonya dishes!</p>



<p>さて、私のTop&nbsp;２のニョニャ料理をご紹介致します！</p>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h3 id="1nbspayam-buah-keluaknbsp%25e3%2582%25a2%25e3%2583%25a4%25e3%2583%25a0%25e3%2583%2596%25e3%2582%25a2%25e3%2582%25af%25e3%2583%25ab%25e3%2582%25a2" class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading">1. Ayam Buah Keluak （アヤム・ブア・クルア）</h3>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="400" height="300" src="https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/nyonya_rachel_leng_638cf.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4996" srcset="https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/nyonya_rachel_leng_638cf.jpg 400w, https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/nyonya_rachel_leng_638cf-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></figure></div>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="400" height="400" src="https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/nyonya_rachel_leng_53edf.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4995" srcset="https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/nyonya_rachel_leng_53edf.jpg 400w, https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/nyonya_rachel_leng_53edf-300x300.jpg 300w, https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/nyonya_rachel_leng_53edf-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></figure></div>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Perhaps the quintessential Peranakan dish, the ayam buah keluak is unique for its use of the seeds of the kepayang (a tall tree native to the mangrove swamps of Malaysia and Indonesia). The seed itself is actually poisonous! If uncooked, it contains hydrogen cyanide so a tremendous deal of prep is required before it can be eaten: the seeds have to be boiled several times and then buried (usually in ash, banana leaves, and earth for more than a month so that the fermentation process makes the cyanide easy to be cleaned). The chicken and kepayang seeds are then simmered for hours in a paste of tamarind and&nbsp;<a aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener external" href="https://guide.michelin.sg/en/what-is-rempah" target="_blank" class="rank-math-link" data-wpel-link="external">rempah</a>.<br><br>The result is a complex and piquant dish bursting with spice, savory&nbsp;<em>umami&nbsp;</em>flavors, and a tang of bitterness.</p>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>一番目は、ニョニャ料理を代表する一品Ayam Buah Keluak（アヤム・ブア・クルア）です！料理名の「Ayam」は鶏肉、「Buah」は混ぜる、「Keluak」はパンギの木(熱帯地方に生えるイイギリ科の高木)の実を表すマレー・インドネシア語です。</p>



<p>このパンギの木は種子を食材とし、実の形はカスタネットに似て栗の渋皮を硬くした様な殻に包まれています。この「Keluak」自体は有毒なので、水に晒すなどの加工が必要ですが、それでも料理に使いたいほど肉類との相性がよく、ネギのようなねっとりとした香ばしい香り溢れる薬味食材です。旨味たっぷりです！</p>



<p>日本でこの「Keluak」を手に入れることが出来るかどうかわかりません。なので、この料理を日本の家庭で完全に再現するのは難しいかと思います。</p>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h3 id="%25ef%25bc%2592otakotaknbsp%25e3%2582%25aa%25e3%2582%25bf%25e3%2582%25aa%25e3%2582%25bf" class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading">２．Otak-Otak （オタオタ）</h3>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="400" height="300" src="https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/nyonya_rachel_leng_71ca7.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4997" srcset="https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/nyonya_rachel_leng_71ca7.jpg 400w, https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/nyonya_rachel_leng_71ca7-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></figure></div>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Otak-otak means “brains” in Indonesian. Although it may look like a mixture of brains, it is actually a grilled&nbsp;fish cake&nbsp;made of ground&nbsp;fish meat&nbsp;mixed with tapioca starch and spices. Otak-otak is very popular across Southeast Asia, especially across Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. It is often served wrapped and grilled inside a banana, Pandan or coconut leaf.</p>



<p>The result is a spicy and fragrant fish cake with a firm mouthfeel similar to eating a Japanese Chikuwa or Satsuma-age!</p>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>二番目は、Otak-Otak（オタオタ）です！オタオタとは、マレー語で「脳」という意味です。見た目は「脳みそ」みたいですが、本当は脳の料理というわけではありませんよ。オタオタとは、魚のすり身を唐辛子や香辛料で味付けし、よくバナナかパンダンかココナッツの葉で包んで、炭火で焼いた一品です！食べてみると、ピリ辛の「薩摩ま揚げ」のような食感でビールによく合います～　☆</p>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="478" height="600" src="https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/nyonya_rachel_leng_89c0c.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4998" srcset="https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/nyonya_rachel_leng_89c0c.jpg 478w, https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/nyonya_rachel_leng_89c0c-239x300.jpg 239w" sizes="(max-width: 478px) 100vw, 478px" /></figure></div>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>By the way, red wine complements Nyonya food very well!</p>



<p>Personally, I enjoy young red wines like Zinfandels and blends with milder spicy and aromatic foods – when chilled it is especially soothing to the palate! Although it is often said to avoid tannic wines like cabernet blends, I find that the stronger tannins complement well with the natural bitterness present in Nyonya foods. 😀</p>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>ちなみに、Nyonya料理がピリ辛ですので、赤ワインによく合いますよ～！</p>



<p>私にちなんで名付けられた美味しいなジャミーの赤ワインが見つかりました！ ;）</p>

<p>This year, as part of the celebration for Singapore’s 53<sup>rd</sup>&nbsp;National Day, the Overseas Singaporean Unit in the Prime Minister’s Office and the Singaporean Associations in Japan collaborated to produce a short video! The theme was to feature Singaporeans living and working abroad in Japan, and I was honored to be one of the five profiled.</p>



<p>We even filmed at my office! It was so much fun and I am grateful that my colleagues were very supportive and even joined in the filming efforts.</p>



<p>Take a look at the video by Ciel Liu (<a class="rank-math-link" href="http://www.cielimpression.com" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">www.cielimpression.com</a>) below!</p>

<p>今年、５３年周のシンガポールナショナルデーのお祝いの一環として、シンガポール政府の文化省が日本のシンガポール協会と協力してメディア媒体を作成しました。テーマは、シンガポール国民の海外（日本）における就業活動の現況及び、滞在国における文化交流の現況に関するビデオです。私は撮影に出演させていただいたことを光栄に思います。</p>



<p>先日、弊社のオフィスに撮影クルーが来て、撮影をしました～Whizの皆さんも映っています！とても楽しかったです。皆さんのサポートと協力に感謝しています。</p>



<p>もし時間があったら、完成したビデオをご覧ください～　私のプロフィールは2番目です。</p>

<p>We had some interesting “backstage” photos with Ciel, which I thought would be fun to share here.</p>



<p>Here are some of me pretending to give a presentation at our conference room.</p>



<p>Several of my colleagues joined into the acting and filming, including those from our hedge fund and private equity teams! 😉</p>

<p>最後に：シンガポールの国民の誓約について</p>



<p>シンガポール人はNDPの日、必ず全員が右腕を心の上に握って、起立してシンガポールの誓いを宣誓します。上記の写真のようですね。</p>



<p>Moving forward, I hope that my various activities will contribute to Japan-Singapore relations and encourage more diversity, mutual understanding, and collaboration.</p>



<p>今後は多様化、相互理解、協調を促すために、私の様々な活動が日本・シンガポール関に貢献することを願っています。これからも頑張ります！</p>
