The Peranakan culture is essentially a cultural blend of mainly Chinese, Malay and some European descent, very often bearing the best of each. The Peranakan community evolved some two to three hundred years ago when Chinese traders established trade ties with the locals from the Malay Peninsula, including Singapore.

Cross-cultural relationships and marriages were natural by-products when these traders married local Malay women. Peranakan, which means, "locally born" in the Malay language, was to be the name of subsequent generations of Chinese-Malays. To Westerners, they are commonly known as "Straits-born Chinese".

Nonya Cuisine tends to be spicy hot, and uses liberal doses of pungent roots such as ginger and tumeric, aromatic leaves and intensively flavorful ingredients such as shrimp paste, shallots, tamarind and chilli peppers. It is probably the most innovative and interesting of the Singaporean cuisines.

Preparation of Nonya cuisine tends to be tedious and long. Slow cooking is common to draw out the flavours of the spices and ingredients, but stir frying is also used. Some of the more popular dishes of this type of cuisine include: Green Bean Sambal which incorporatPrepes the pungent Chinese group dried shrimp, and Otak Otak fish pate steamed in banana leaves.
