Singapore: Explore Peranakan Food and Culture

Discover the eclectic Peranakan culture (Peranakans are an ethnic group descended from settlers from China’s southern provinces who came to the Malay Archipelago) and cuisine that is unique to eastern Singapore on our half-day tour. Start with a visit to the iconic Joo Chiat Peranakan House, where you can wear traditional costumes and take pictures. While passing by the charming streets of Joo Chiat, enjoy the sights of heritage shophouses, quaint stores, and other hidden gems that help evolve the Peranakan style over the years. No exploration of Peranakan culture is complete without a culinary adventure. So, we next visit a local eatery where you can indulge in the exquisite flavours of Peranakan traditional kueh-kueh (sweet and savoury snacks made from glutinous rice, coconut and palm sugar) and tea and get a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of this community.
