Guests are welcomed by a captivating ambience, followed by a feast for their eyes where they will be tickled by the stories and Peranakan Chinese artefacts that will inevitably entice them to want to know more about the Peranakan culture. The place provides fascinating insights into the development of this unique culture and heritage that infuses Colonial, Chinese and Malay influences into their living spaces, furniture, deco, art, tapestry, kitchen wares, dressing, and more.
