Babanynynya is a descendant of the Ming Dynasty, and settled in Manraja (Malacca), Mamboboyi (Indonesia) and Sri Lanka (Singapore) in the early 5th century. Babanynynya is a descendant of China who married Malays. Babanynya is a translator and a native of China. There are many in Malacca, Penang and Singapore. The man's name is Baba, and the woman's name is Niangjiao. It is believed that the origin of Babanyangnya can be traced back to a very early time, mainly during the Malacca Dynasty. Most of the immigrants who came here from Fujian, China are upper-middle class officials or wealthy businessmen. After arriving in Malacca, they did not return to China, but married the descendants of local Malay women. Some of them are said to be descendants of Zheng He who led a huge fleet to Malacca five times, and some of their subordinates stayed and married the locals. Politically, Baba people still retain a strong sense of China, which is closely related to the overseas policy of China Qing government. 188 1 and 1890, the Qing court set up consulates in Singapore and Penang, strengthening the ties with China society. In addition to conferring titles on local leaders in China, the Qing government also allowed rich people in China to buy titles. From 1877 to 19 1 1 year, there were 295 upper-class Chinese in Singapore and Malay Peninsula who held various official titles in the Qing Dynasty. Among them, only five people obtained official titles through non-donation. The official seal system of the Qing court played an important role in maintaining the connection between overseas Chinese and the motherland. Because China people who hold the official title of China naturally consider themselves subjects of China, they are more concerned about the political situation in China and safeguard the official language of China. Therefore, although Baba society in Malaysia has integrated many local cultural factors, it has always maintained some important features of Mandarin Chinese. Of course, Baba and Baba culture are not unique to Malaysia, but also to Indonesia.

In the early Malaya, foreigners married local Malays without any religious constraints (it is different now, all foreigners who married Malays must first convert to Islam), so Chinese who married local Malays still retained their original religious beliefs and believed in Buddhism or Taoism, and many of their customs and etiquette followed the tradition of China. Like China, most young ladies stay at home all the year round, so they often kill time by embroidery or making some handicrafts. Baba's mother's family attaches great importance to some traditional festivals in China. As descendants or younger generations, they should kneel and kowtow, offer tea and wish peace during the Spring Festival. Every Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and the anniversary of the death of ancestors, ancestors are worshipped, and the offerings are also exquisite. There are three sacrifices, three meals and eighty-two bowls of vegetables. In terms of marriage customs, Baba Nyonya's family is also very particular about "being suitable for each other", and those powerful families such as Jia, Yin and Shang in China often get married. The groom is wearing a robe, jacket and melon seed hat, and the bride is wearing a skirt, poncho and rockhopper, with many ornaments on her body. Before World War II, Baba Nyonya still followed the ancient ceremony of three kneels and nine knocks in the Qing Dynasty, and got married in a sedan chair, with gongs and drums playing loudly. The man's parents attach great importance to whether the bride is a virgin. After the wedding, the matchmaker is responsible for showing the virgin cloth to the man's parents. Since Babanyangnya is a descendant of Chinese-witch hybrids, they must have customs different from those of pure China people. In the Babanyanga family, they speak fluent Malay, which is their daily language, but it is also mixed with some Fujian dialects. They know nothing about ordinary China people. Especially those girls dress like Malay women, wear salons or girls' clothes (similar to Malay women's clothes) and like to chew leaves. In terms of eating habits, Baba Nyangnya also has its own "Nyangnya Meal", which combines the eating characteristics of China, Malays, Indians and Europeans mainly Portuguese, and pays attention to cooking methods and tableware used. Curry and pepper are naturally indispensable in the seasoning, and the taste is mainly sour and spicy, which has a unique style. If you want to taste authentic Nyonya rice, you should go to the restaurant in holland street, which was rebuilt in Baba Mansion. From the indoor layout to the dishes on the dining table, it is the essence of the most authentic and pure Nyonya food culture. At present, the number of Baba and Nyonya is small, and there is no accurate statistics. The estimated number is less than ten thousand. It is said that there are only 10 households left in holland street.

"Nyonya" originally refers to China's daughter who married Malays. Nyonya inherited the tradition of China people that "the man is the master and the woman is the master", and she was a master cook before she got married. Nyonya inherits the virtues of women in China, is diligent and thrifty, and combines Chinese cooking methods with Malay raw materials to make Nyonya cuisine. It not only has the connotation of Chinese food, but also has the characteristics of Malaysian cuisine, showing a new taste and being quite popular in Nanyang. These characteristics are all reflected in Niangjie cuisine.
