— What You Can Expect —
We'll start with the recognizable shophouses along Koon Seng Road to teach you more about this fascinating culture and to improve your Instagram game. Originally constructed in the 1920s, a diverse community, including the Peranakan Chinese, previously called these pastel-colored buildings home. This street, which is home to some of Singapore's most beautiful homes, has drawn attention from visitors from across the world. While there, you might have the opportunity to mingle with other travelers and photographers. This is the perfect location to post on Instagram because of the delicate details and pastel colors of each home.
Next, enter a private Peranakan museum to learn more about the beaded shoes, kerosang, and kebaya material cultures. This museum was once a Peranakan's home.
Wander around the bustling neighborhoods of Katong-Joo Chiat and discover the area's connection to sea turtles, how it was once home to the wealthy and Peranakans, and how it evolved after World War II to become the hipster haven it is today, complete with old shophouses, hipster cafés, and a thriving culture.
Discover Peranakan culture and way of life at a number of house museums located in the upscale Joo Chiat and Katong beach districts.
During a tea session with a Peranakan theme, you will be able to try some local snacks.
