About

This restored Joo Chiat shophouse transports you straight back to 1928, when Peranakan families filled these heritage homes with intricate antiques and stories. It's a blend of Chinese tradition with Malay and British colonial influences that created Singapore's most distinctive cultural identity. It's living history you can touch, taste, and take home.

EA Tip

Start at Straits Enclave for authentic Peranakan culture, then stroll over to nearby Koo Seng Road's rainbow houses. These two gems are only a short walk apart.
