Dapor Diva
"Dapor Diva" is a captivating culinary show hosted by Bibik Shirley, known as the "Singing Nyonya Chef." The program blends traditional Peranakan cuisine with Shirley's vibrant humour and charm, offering viewers not just cooking lessons but a cultural experience filled with laughter and storytelling.
Chim Cheh:
Baba Nyonya Repository
Chim Cheh is a digital repository and archive of all things Baba Nyonya (Peranakan) — including clothing, textiles, books, literature, people, humour, pantuns, videos, businesses, restaurants, and community stories.
Think of it as an online “airwell” of culture: a central, open space where stories, objects, and memories are gathered and shared.
Bintang Peranakan
Bintang Peranakan is the revived Baba Malay media platform under Baba Gabra, dedicated to celebrating Peranakan storytelling, language, humour, culture, and everyday life.
Blending heritage with a modern voice, Bintang Peranakan publishes articles, videos, pantuns, interviews, and cultural features that shine a light on the Baba Nyonya world. It is a space where our language can breathe, our stories can live, and our identity can evolve proudly, creatively, and authentically.

Baba Malay Ang Paus
The best time of the year to remember our roots is Taon Baru. What better way to learn our culture & Mother Tongue by giving these Angpaus out to your Family & Friends.
This project was to educate the younger generations about the Baba Malay saying which are unique to our culture and all proceeds were allocated to the administrative funds to register BabaGabra as a Non-Profit Organisation.
