‘Our Peranakan Town‘

Joo Chiat is a hidden gem that attracts both locals and visitors with its vibrant Peranakan shophouses, distinctive shops, and trendy, Instagram-worthy cafes. Our 'Peranakan Town' coasters and 'Peranakan Floral Tile' placemats serve as perfect souvenirs for those looking to explore Singapore's rich Peranakan heritage.

Joo Chiat and Katong have always had a laid back, seaside charm flavoured with rich Peranakan history. ‘Peranakan Town’ blends the essential elements that make Joo Chiat and Katong such elegant, heartwarming place to be – heritage architecture, good food, soulful designs, healthy pastimes, modern lifestyles and more. The collection of motifs highlights the architectural charm of shophouses in the area, interspersed with symbols representing a thriving community of independent businesses, including yoga studios, cafes, bakeries, lifestyle and design shops, pet services, restaurants and more. 

Used to embellish Peranakan houses in early 1900s, these beautifully glazed floral tiles inspired by nature were emblems of wealth and affluence as well as desired architectural design elements. They can still be found on the facades of conserved shophouses in historic districts such as Emerald Hill, Katong, Little India, Kampong Glam, Chinatown, etc. These architectural gems dotted across Singapore continue to delight and excite culture and design enthusiasts today.
