#solotrip I was on a solo trip to Penang and was just wandering around Georgetown. Passing by Pinang Peranakan Mansion, I was attracted to this colourful building and decided to check it out. The staff were so friendly and enthusiastic to share about this place. I joined a tour which was the best way to learn about the Peranakan culture. Everything displayed was so beautiful and I spent a lot of time to admire and appreciate each and one of them ! #travel #penang #peranakan

Candlenut is a Michelin One Star Peranakan food restaurant. Address - 17a Dempsey Rd, Singapore 249676 Ambiance/Facilities - It is situated within the very nice and fancy Dempsey hill area in Singapore. The restaurant ambiance was great and interior design is nice with traditional lanterns and peranakan inspired decorations. Highlights - I ordered the set lunch menu in order to have a taste of signature dishes. I like the Bakwan Kepiting Soup (rich chicken broth with chicken and crab balls), Udang Cili Garam (Prawns) and starter dishes like Kuey Pie Tee. Didn't enjoy Babi Pongteh as there was a strong pork smell. Avg. Price per Person - S$108 onwards for set lunch Rating - 7/10. Modern take on peranakan food but my personal preference is still the traditional flavours which pack more punch. #eatlikealocal #deliciousfood #100waysoftravel #travellerswonderland #singapore #peranakan

There are hundreds of cake and Western dessert cafes in Penang. But the rare item cafe that sells local desserts #peranakan or ##nyonya kuih in the original style, the oldest of which is almost 100 years old, is only here. #Legend that still breathes Moh Teng Pheow Nyonya Koay has both traditional food and desserts that are still made in the traditional way (kuih) in the house, made on a charcoal stove, handmade. The atmosphere feels like going back to the 3rd generation. Today we ordered #desserts with 4 pieces, every piece is not too sweet: Sticky rice with shrimp and coconut, this is a bit savory, shrimp in pieces, salty coconut, soft sticky rice, a little salty. Sticky rice with custard, smooth custard, very soft, not a solid lump like Thai desserts. Salad filling, similar to Thai desserts but less sweet. Sago with pandan leaves, the filling is similar to shredded coconut, soft and fragrant sago, the filling is not too sweet, mixed with salty and greasy shredded coconut. There are more than 20 desserts to choose from. Both pudding cakes, dumplings (kuih lapis, kuih talam, ang koo, and Nyonya chang) are served in small pieces, so it's good to order many things to try. The price is very cheap, starting at ~5 baht per piece. For the savory dishes, there are 8 items. We ordered Laksa (RM7.5~59 baht). It was the first time I had it. It was very delicious and refreshing. The sauce base is tamarind and fish sauce served in a spoon. It's very flavorful, sour, salty, spicy. The noodles are soft and chewy. Give it a full score, order it, you should Drinks: Lemongrass Ginger Homemade 1 bottle can be shared by 2 people, not too sweet, very fragrant with lemongrass and a little bit of ginger spiciness, good again (5RM=39 baht) There are almost 40 drinks There are chocolates, teas and coffees, both modern and local teas, both homemade and machine-brewed I really recommend this shop, delicious desserts and food, reasonable prices, good atmosphere, original feel, good service too FB: Moh Teng Pheow Nyonya Koay 📆. 10:00-17:00 hrs.

Rent a Kebaya at the Nyonya Palazzo and you will get free entry into the Peranakan Museum (just next door)! We had a good time exploring the museum (took so many photos and videos while pretending we are filming The Little Nyonya drama series with the family) and enjoyed some Peranakan food and kuehs thereafter. Definitely one of the highlight for our Penang trip! #malaysia #penang #peranakanmuseum #peranakan

The Peranakan Mansion in Penang used to be a residence of a tin-mining tycoon and was later purchased by the current owner, who also happens to be an art collector, and converted into a museum to display some of his collections and also share Penang’s Peranakan heritage. We took a tour here, which lasted almost two hours, and our guide was very animated, sharing stories of Penang as well as the former and current owner and the history of the building itself. A must-see in Penang! #malaysia #penang #peranakan

Come to Phuket for the beaches, but don’t forget to visit Old Town for the history, culture, and food! Old Phuket showcases the colorful Peranakan style shophouses and offers a diverse array of food, including Western options, local Thai, Chinese, and even Mexican. We enjoyed some local Thai farm-to-table beef, Michelin star Thai food, Chinese dim sum, and traditional Phuket desserts. #thailand #phuket #phuketoldtown #peranakan #thaifood

Most people know Phuket for its beaches, but a visit to Phuket should not be without a trip to Old Town. The Phuket Museum (totally free!) introduces some of Phuket’s Peranakan heritage and history as a tin mining town. The museum is housed in two separate buildings, which use to serve as a bank, and there’s an old clock tower to climb, too. This was definitely worth stopping by to learn some local history and culture. #thailand #phuket #oldphukettown #peranakan

#singapore A sunny Saturday was the perfect time to go on a walkabout, and Koon Seng Road was the perfect chance-upon! This is the famous strip of Peranakan-style heritage houses often pictured in relation to Katong and Joo Chiat. The colours were truly stunning, and despite the narrowness of Koon Seng Road that plies through the 2 rows of historic architecture, there was a sense of serenity about the place. LONG LIVE SINGAPOREAN HERITAGE!!! #KoonSengRoad #Katong #JooChiat #heritagehouses #historicarchitecture #Peranakan #culture #heritage #urbanexplorer #awesomepic

#kualalumpur retro peranakan restaurant is here at Tingkap cafe. My friend specially drove to try the food. Local cuisine such as Cucur Udang, Roti Bakar, Roti Jala, and Satay are available here. We ordered that with ice milo and ice tea. All in total is RM39.90 ; Do note they only accept cash! To be honest, it wasn't that good but still ok. Its better to come early in morning instead of afternoon because most of dishes will be gone by then. We came too late by 2pm+. Overall, its worth to explore and try but I won't come back again specially for this.

Playing Little Nyonya @kimchookuehchang awhile ago. I’ve always want to do this for the longest time and finally managed to visit this place. Exploring their Peranakan kebaya collection. It’s really beautiful and i really love intricate detail on every kebaya. ⁣ Everytime i wear the traditional costume even though is not my own country costume i feel so proud, i feel like blending in to the local culture. Similar like when i wear Ao Dai in Vietnam and Hanbok in Korea. Even locals were praising us for wearing their traditional costume. ⁣ Step into the upper gallery of the Rumah Kim Choo shophouse in East Coast Road. Greeting you by a sight that evokes the feel of an old Peranakan house, or “rumah” in Malay. About Rumah Kim Choo Rumah Kim Choo shophouse in East Coast Road, which is filled with antiques and family heirlooms. Ranging from a bridal bed to Nonya kebayas, and ceramic ware to wooden cabinets that marry Chinese and European styles. The Rumah Kim Choo shophouse in 109 and 111 East Coast Road has a heritage gallery upstairs. And they sells Peranakan collectibles as well as traditional food such as the family’s signature glutinous rice dumplings. The building dates back to around 1928. The late matriarch Lee Kim Choo who started the Kim Choo Kueh Chang rice dumplings business in 1945 Raymond Wong, the grandson is kebaya designer in the house. If you are keen to find yourself a kebaya that best represents your personalities, you can visit the boutique gallery for a free fitting session. Special thanks to @KimChooKuehChang for this kebaya fitting session., it was such an eye opening experience on the exploration journey to Peranakan culture in Singapore. #KimChooKuehChang #Kebaya #exploreSingapore #VisitSingapore #Peranakan

#penang #UNESCO #heritage #musuem #peranakan Penang is a popular tourists destination especially if you arrive by cruise from Singapore, this gives you a 1 day exploration tour around the jetty snd some museum. One place I recommend to go upon reaching penang jetty is the Chew Jetty which is a unesco world site, you will still be able to see many of these old houses built on stilts over waters. Thereafter, head to the Pinang Peranankan Mansion located at 29, Church St, Georgetown, 10200 George Town, Penang, Malaysia just a short walk from Chew Jetty. This cost approximately 7/8 SGD per person, but they have a wide variety of exhibits covering 2 floors worth of antiques and history.

#singapore #peranakan #musuem #tours #exhibitions If you are someone who are a fan of going to museums, there is a reopening of the pernanakan musuem, which was previously the taonam school! Now the musuem features 9 different galleries, where it took almost 4 long years for the complete make over where it now features many new exhibits where some of the items are also on loan so as to be able to spread knowledge on the pernanakan culture not only in singapore but also around the world as well.

Where - Ellenborough Market Cafe at Paradox Hotel (formerly known as Merchant Court Hotel) Address - 20 Merchant Road Singapore 058281 Getting there - Clarke Quay MRT Highlights - Peranakan-themed Lunar New Year Buffet Ambience - spacious and not crowded Price per pax - S$65 (after credit card discount) Rating - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+½ It has been 3 years (due to Covid) which we did not get to have our CNY reunion lunch/dinner with the whole family. This year we decided to do it slightly earlier to beat the crowd and we went back to our favourite Peranakan/Nonya themed self serve buffet with the modern twist in CNY atmosphere. Wise decision to gather 2 weeks before CNY as the restaurant is about half filled. Not crowded and we were not restricted to the time limit. We were one of the last few tables to leave before the restaurant close at 3pm. Haha. Service is really good and attentive. We were awed. We managed to get a 30% discount with credit card promotion as we opted for lunch. The standard did not drop although the hotel is now run by Paradox Hotel Group. We all had a very satisfying and enjoyable CNY luncheon. What a great start to the #yearofrabbit #yearofrabbit #newyearadventure #paradoxmerchantcourt #ellenborough #hotelbuffet #peranakan #nonya

A short 3min jaunt over from Casa del Rio hotel in Melaka, you’ve got to check out Heritage Flavours when you’re next in Melaka.

A plate of assorted kuehs cost less than 10RM, and the butterfly pea tea was around 7RM. #melaka #peranakan #food

Indo Cafe - The White House is located on Scotts Road. The restaurant itself is housed in a historic building with more than a hundred years of Southeast Asian colonial style. It mainly serves traditional Malaysian Penang Nyonya cuisine. The overall dining experience is very good in terms of service and environment. I highly recommend the Otah Otah, which is made with fish meat paste and crab meat paste mixed with spices. The taste they make is really unforgettable. By the way, this is also a restaurant recommended by Michelin for many years. #singaporefood #delicious #travelblogger #foodphotography #indocafethewhitehouse #Singaporefood #michelinguideger #michelin #foodie #foodie #southeastasia #restaurant #travelphotography #travel #nyonya #peranakan #Nyonyafood #cuisine #food Address - 35 Scotts Road, Singapore 228227 Features - Michelin restaurant in a historic building Price per person - 40-50SGD Rating - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Temporary kasut manik (beaded shoes) exhibition at Persatuan Peranakan Cina Melaka (PPCM) at 179, Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock, Malacca ♥️ the exhibition only lasted for a day which I felt was such a pity, because you won’t even see such a collection in the Peranakan museums. Have never seen such a large collection of beaded Peranakan shoes! Other than the ones made by the current students, the other shoes were on loan and there were many priceless antiques 👡 #peranakan #baba #nyonya #babanyonya #melaka #malacca #malaysia #kasutmanik #kasutmanek #beadedshoes #antique #antiqueshoes #straitsborn #straitsbornchinese

Price per Person - 12 Rating - 4/5 Tuck in a corner of Heartland Mall is this busy little restaurant that we kept passing by. Finally remembered to try it when we are there. We came about 10 min before 6pm and the restaurant is already full. There is a queue system where you can take a number and wait for your turn. We only waited 15 min before we got a table. Ordered straight away and most of the items came in a hot clay pot and it is still boiling hot! They even have salted vegetable duck meat soup which is a rare gem nowadays! We love all the food there. too full to try the dessert but will go back and try other dishes again!

Address - InterContinental Hotel, 80 Middle Road, Singapore 188966 All over the InterContinental Hotel are heritage works of art and collectibles inspired by Singapore’s Peranakan heritage! Peranakan culture is basically a marriage between the Chinese and Malay/Indonesian cultures. There are different varieties of crockery and dish ware on display in wooden shelves that resemble those that were used back in the olden days. A traditional dress top is also preserved and displayed on the lobby wall. This hotel is great for those who appreciate that extra dose of local heritage in the form of art!
