Highly recommend it and am glad I can find it on YouTube. I watched the original drama years ago when it was aired in Singapore. However, I still remembered parts of it. It is an interesting story based on the Straits Chinese living in Singapore and Malacca, and gives you insights into the customs and traditions practiced by this group of people during the days when Malaysia and Singapore were British colonies. The Straits Chinese were early Chinese migrants who had settled in South East Asia and had adopted a lot of local practices, developed their own distinctive Nonya cuisines, and spoke Malay/Indonesian and their own Chinese dialect. The ladies were known as Nonyas and the men Babas.

The story is a little more complex and less predictable. It is a departure from the typical Chinese and Korean dramas and will give you a refreshing new perspective away from these dramas. The original version is available at:

The original version was produced by Singapore Mediacorp and this review is based on that.
