In Malay-speaking terms of southeast Asia,the term" Peranakan " means "child" or "born of"
and is usually referring to people of mixed Ethnic Origins.While the focus of Perankan Chinese are main forming communities,there are Jawi Perankan(Indian muslim) and Chitty Melaka(Indian).
They have been very inspired by Straits culture and the western influences.Which is why their gorgeous home furnishings is so victorian and sometimes Mediaeval inspired.
