Nellie wants her soon-to-be grandson to be the perfect Peranakan grandson, which means Li Choo must be prepped to be the perfect Peranakan mother. Larry has his hands tied up with another book - his own dictionary, The Definitive Book of Peranakan Definitions that his editor is keen on de-Peranakanizing. Meanwhile, Pearlie prepares to be acknowledged for her twenty two and a half years of loyal service by the board of Tan Original Kueh Chang.
