Peranakan beaded slippers, also known as kasot manek, literally meaning shoe beads, is a type of shoe that dates back to the early twentieth century. It refers to beaded slippers worn by a nyonya to complete her Sarong Kebaya outfit, together with chained brooches (kerosang) and a silver belt (tali pendeng). The slippers are made of Peranakan cut beads (manek potong), which are treasured as these beads are no longer available. Vintage kasot manek are intricate and finely stitched, a testimony to the fine workmanship of yesteryears. The intricacy and fine workmanship of a pair of beaded slipper is also a hallmark of highly accomplished Peranakan women, also known as nyonyas, whose skills in embroidery and beadwork are highly valued.

    There are many different types of museums in Malacca, and this museum can learn about the culture of Yu and Nyonya. Also the building is very special, it is a Nanyang-style building. Worth paying for admission

    This Nyonya Cultural Center is a professional cultural center that introduces the culture of Nyonya Malaysia. There are many physical objects and documents here, so that everyone can understand the history of the Yanghe. He is also a witness to the intermingling of Malaysian Chinese and Malay cultures, and it is worth visiting to learn about it.

    Nyonya culture is a culture created by the combination of Chinese men and local women. It has both Chinese characteristics and local characteristics. It is a very interesting cultural museum. The taste of Nyonya cuisine is also very good.

    This private museum close to Jonker Walk is actually the home of the Chan Chen Siew family since the 1900s. But now you can enter and see for yourself this historical heritage.

    The house is beautiful throughout, with a pair of central open air courtyards, lovely tiles, carved wood, mother-of-pearl inlaid furniture and various displays of period pieces. I particularly liked the master bedroom with a spyhole to check who is calling; the kitchen with a retro ice cream maker – no refrigeration, no electricity, just kids’ own churning power; and the etched glass memorials to Chan Jr and his wife (late 20th century but still very attractive).

    The cost depends on whether the whole itinerary is self-guided or described by a special person. After buying the ticket, the hospital will explain the rules and give a guide. Generally speaking, self-guided tour is not a big problem.
