What's Pixel Peranakan?
A Celebration of Culture and Childhood
Pixel Peranakan is a web‑based adventure for ages 11–14 (and curious adults!).
As you colour shophouses, speak Baba Malay with Grandma, design kebaya outfits, cook virtual kueh and befriend a magical Kueh Pet, you’ll uncover a Peranakan heritage as seen through the author's journey through their childhood.
