You are partly correct as many Chinese who married malays did not convert like my grandma’s neighbor in Pg and babas in Melaka. Most of my grandma’s neighbors and friends living along Macalister Rd used to meet up and made kuihs and esp b4 CNY made kueh kapit, kuih bankit and I had to fold them along with other kids.
It’s not chinese born and bred in the straits settlement that become Babas but culture assimilation through marriage and birth. Pg also had Serani/Eurasians that married chinese Babas and spoke local dialect while cooking local Baba cuisine while either practicing dual religions.
I went to school with Theseiras and Rozells and we cursed in hokkien more than English or Malay while being fluent in those languages and some in Portuguese too.
also, there's one dish seldom mentioned by people. it's called sek bak (pork) or sek ak (duck). i prefer chicken + pork belly. one of the best dish, really underrated. go and try it
Nyonya Kerabu Bee Hoon

Never heard about this practice. Usually only sun the pillow when have shoulder ache or body ache (we call it salah bantal), then take the pillow to hit the ache part
This is a Chinese custom and practice, right?
My family follows it too.
Now that I've bought a 100% natural latex pillow, I won't have this kind of issue anymore.

Tips & Notes:
1. It's best to cook the silver ear fungus until its gelatinous properties are released for better nutrition. 2.

On the morning of Li Chun, you should take your pillows and blankets out to bask in the sun. This practice is about absorbing sunlight into your pillows and blankets.
