"Little Nyonya" can be regarded as the Singaporean version of "Dae Jang Geum". With its riveting plot, the show vividly portrays the grudges and entanglements between two generations. Coupled with the perfect embellishments of the colorful ethnic costumes and Nyonya cuisine, "Little Nyonya" caused an unprecedented sensation when it was first aired in Singapore at the end of 2008. Its ratings climbed steadily, breaking viewership records that had stood for 15 years, with the grand finale achieving a high viewership rating of 31.2%.
