Cultural amalgamation was inevitable and Penang became a melting pot of languages, religions, traditions and cuisines.<\/p>\n<p>Penang is simply synonymous with heritage. A spirit of nostalgia roams the centuries-old buildings, faded photographs and antiquities. Together, they embody a legacy so stirring, it tugs at the heartstrings of even the most unacquainted meanderer. This same spirit of preservation and appreciation of the roots dwells within the kitchens, the boudoirs, fashion and architecture, bearing timeless values such as \ufb01lial piety, divine respect for traditions and communal empathy.<\/p>\n<p>The writer hopes this compilation brings the rich tapestry of Penang\u2019s legacy closer to those who have an eye for the nostalgic days. <em>Nostalgic Penang<\/em> features a wealth of antiquities from private collectors to whom she is truly indebted for their generosity in sharing these treasures with you, the readers. Penang, with its nostalgic charms, tantalising tastes and fascinating sights has provided much to savour.<\/p>\n<p>For further reading, please see our <a href=\"https:\/\/arecabooks.com\/2016\/05\/16\/24-april-2016-penang-nyonya-nostalgia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">newsletter<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Koh Tze Yin &amp; Roz Chua<br \/>\n2008.
