Itinerary

Katong-Joo Chiat

Katong and Joo Chiat are two of Singapore’s most vibrant heritage districts, known for their rich Peranakan culture and colourful shophouse architecture.

Strolling through the area reveals beautifully preserved facades, intricate tilework, and streets full of character and history.
Peranakan Houses

1 h 30 min Admission 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.

There is an option to try on the Peranakan outfits (top up option)
