Not ethnic specific. And the root word is "Anak" which in Malay means "child" And of course the addition of "Per...an" gives it a different meaning. This is more about it that may make more linguistic sense: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peranakan John, my understanding is, Peranakan just simply means “local born”. Not ethnic specific.

The local channels in Singapore use to have them on air and I can still remember TVRI Indonesia doing weekend Kerongchong. Weddings were also very hot occasions for Kerongchong and Dondang Sayang. Having a little chinese blood, it was hard to avoid these occasions growing up. Baju Panjang and Sarung Kebaya - kasut manik.... all very Peranakan. I remember that brides uses to sew their own kasut manik for their wedding. Mum use to like her kebaya and keronsang - she was hot when she was younger. Petite but hot. Ang Koo Kueh is more chinese....I agree - more at weddings than the usual occasions - oh yes and Chinese New Year. Wah very nostalgiclah..... I can still remember keronchong and Dondang Sayang.

I play sungka (filipino congklak), and there's no gender stigma attached... though only my mom and grandmother would play with me. Congklak is a girl’s game?
