Joo Chiat's Peranakan Houses

After having lunch at Old Airport Road, my friend and I decided to go around Joo Chiat and be tourists for the day. We started at the famous tourist spot in Joo Chiat, the Peranakan Houses. I have always wanted to visit the area for this but visiting means going out of my daily route so I never got the chance to do so. I didn't know that there are 2 rows of these houses facing each other. They all have different colors with ornate detailing. I love that the facades are still beautifully maintained. The weather was hot so there was not much people taking photos. As it was very hot, we decided to stop by a cafe, and while on the way, we'll look out for some murals. Joo Chiat is also one of the places where murals are scattered. We were able to find some and took photos. #singapore #tripblazers #visitsingapore #joochiat #heritage #architecture #peranakanhouses

Barbie House in Singapore

I recommend that when you visit Singapore, don't limit yourself to the famous street areas; instead, try to explore something unique that others might not have experienced yet. Personally, I always do that wherever I go. Recently, I discovered a beautiful place with Barbie vibes in Singapore, and I absolutely love it here. It's a residential house, and although it's cute and perfect for creating content, it's important to be respectful and ask for permission before taking photos or shooting videos. You can find this place on Khoon Seng Road, which is located near that street. The best part is that there's no need to pay for a ticket; it's free to visit! #joochiatroad #singapore #rumahperanakan #hiddengem

Peranakan Houses Joo Chiat

Are you a big fan of Crazy Rich Asian the movies? You might like this area in Singapore. Just take a bus from city center for about 40 minutes drive, then you won’t regret to get lost in Katong. It’s formerly knowns as a coconut plantation and used as a weekend getaway for some wealthy city dwellers. The plantations were long gone, but you can still admire the vibrant surroundings with its many Peranakan houses. There are also some famous restaurants and shops around. Grab your google maps to find where Joo Chiat Peranakan Houses located is from the bus stop. It is so easy to find. You can take as many picture as you wish, but remember that the peranakan houses are still inhabited by some local residents and just one or two of them are already abandoned, so we as tourists still have to respect them who still live in there.#singapore #joochiat #peranakanhouses #awesomepic #2023travelwish

If you are looking for a change of environment from the busy urban Singapore scenes, you must check out Joo Chiat Road. Admire the old Peranakan architecture, the detail! Also take note of the vintage signs and mailboxes they still use. Take your time and explore the shops; you can find quirky little things and antiques, even dog spas.

Peranakan architecture, shop front houses, street shopping, Baba museums and shops along East coast road. Peranakan house Museum though is only open to groups of 5 at $20 per head. Hence I couldn't visit the entire museum. #happylaborday #rediscoversg #maydaytrip #urbanexplorer #cityoverlook
