Who eat my Nonya Kueh?
And what a way to start YR 2009 with a drama winner from Singapore in "The Little Nonya", that is rarely coming by these days...
First of all, I must applause the producer for using the tried and tested formula for this drama, remember 大長今...By using "local ingredients" to the winning "recipe", Singaporeans at last have a fantastic winner to call their own. And this is actually a no-brainer...
Another reason for its popularity can most likely be attributed to its presentation of the Baba culture. Despite most singaporeans not of that anscestry, apparently singaporeans are looking to identify themselves their lineage, not to China or india, but a culture to Singapore, and indeed this culture on display strikes a chord or 2 of the hearts thank to most ppl here being able to identify to. Indeed, I believe most singaporeans are traditionalists despite their modern outlook, and able to find something to belong to and a history to boast about in the midst of Singapore's own young history is indeed an attractibe proposition. Hopefully, I would not like to see all the "baba" and "nyonya" on the street anytime soon.
Of course, plus a good storyline, viola! And you have yourself a high viewership rating drama serie, a winner in its own right. And I would only wish: More of the same, please!!!
