    Strolling through the area reveals beautifully preserved facades, intricate tilework, and streets full of character and history.
  2. Peranakan Houses
    1h 30m · Admission ticket included
    A beautifully restored heritage shophouse located in the heart of Joo Chiat, offering an intimate journey into Singapore’s Peranakan culture.

    Step inside and you’ll be transported to the 1920s, where intricate antiques, ornate bridal chambers, and carefully curated artifacts bring the stories of the Baba-Nyonya community to life.

    During our visit, we will also enjoy traditional Peranakan tea and kueh—colourful bite-sized local delicacies made from ingredients like rice flour, coconut, and pandan, often gently sweet and beautifully crafted.
