(小娘惹)
The drama ended its run on 5 January 2009.
This drama was produced by MediaCorp in celebration of the channel's 45 years anniversary (45载光芒·8方贺台庆). This drama required 1 year of research, and took four months to film[1]. More than 150 behind the scenes staff were involved in the production, and the cast also went to Penang and Malacca to film part of the series. The series' production cost was also the highest ever for MediaCorp, with a pair of beaded shoes costing S$1,200, while a dining table costs S$15,000.
Although MediaCorp's series normally have episode counts that ends in multiples of 5 (20, 25, 30 etc.), The Little Nyonya was, however, extended from the initial 30 episodes to 34 episodes due to over-runs in filming, in order to allow the story to be told completely. Possibly as a result, two episodes were aired on Mondays, starting from 15 December 2008.
It created quite a stir in SArawak in general. More women started to wear sarong kebaya and many became very interested in Nyonya cuisine.
This is how much TV can impact social and cultural development. I would say, very positively.
And I even bought the whole box set to share with friends.
