While I was surfing http://www.peranakan.org.sg to learn more about the culture of the Peranakan Chinese, I came across a Youtube video put up by bristow47. Although short, this video lends insights to the art of making Peranakan beaded shoes.
The video "features a traditional Peranakan beaded shoe-maker, Mr Robert Sng". To view the video, please visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kivqEOCx-uw
I have embedded it here for your convenience. Credit goes to bristow47 and his team for putting this video together.
Meantime, to learn more about the culture of the Peranakan, you may wish to visit the Peranakan Museum, Singapore, this weekend. There will be a series of events to celebrate the opening of the museum over three weekends from 26 April to 11 May 2008.
