Charming of Joo Chiat Road

• Koon Seng Road in Joo Chiat

Koon Seng Road in Joo Chiat is Singapore’s best display of Peranakan culture. The Peranakans were straits-born people of Chinese, Malay and Indonesian heritage. They settled in the area between the 15th and 17th centuries. This neighbourhood is dotted with pastel and multi-coloured, double-storey terrace houses that are embellished with sculpted facades of animal reliefs and hand-crafted ceramic tiles.

 

Koon Seng Road is probably the most “Instagrammed” street in Singapore and it’s definitely worth the detour. While in the area, make sure you stop in for some authentic Peranakan food at Guan Hoe Soon Restaurant.
