Description

Step into Singapore’s most colorful heritage neighborhood, Joo Chiat and Katong, and discover the world of the “Crazy Rich Asians” before the movie. Begin your journey at a private museum styled as the home of an old-money Peranakan family—a unique culture born from Chinese traders and local Malay women, famed for its rich cuisine, ornate fashion, and lavish homes. Inside, admire exquisite furniture, beaded slippers, vibrant porcelain, and elegant décor reflecting the life of the wealthy Straits Chinese in the early 1900s. Your guide will lead you through a museum-style showcase, where you can see and touch authentic ceramics, glassware, and dining pieces, each telling a story of refinement and cross-cultural artistry. Enjoy a fragrant tea session paired with colorful handmade local sweets, blending Chinese, Malay, and colonial flavors—an elegant tradition of Peranakan hospitality. For those who wish, there’s an optional dress-up session in the graceful sarong kebaya, with the chance to pose amid the ornate setting for unforgettable photos. Conclude your experience with a stroll past Joo Chiat’s pastel shophouses and along Koon Seng Road, learning about the area’s rich history and the meaning behind its decorative tiles. This boutique tour blends luxury, culture, and design—perfect for travelers who love history, storytelling, and beautiful photo opportunities in one of Singapore’s most picturesque districts.
