We do customisations of sarong kebaya and batik (traditional Peranakan costumes), wholesaling of Peranakan porcelain, and hold guided tours, talks, and workshops to promote our Nanyang-Peranakan heritage.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Contrary to popular belief\u2026 <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Peranakans are not linked to a particular race, nor are they people who inherited the bloodline. The word \u201cPeranakan\u201d literally means \u201clocally-born descendants of foreigners\u201d. It is very much about the marriage of different cultures, and not about the marriage of two different races.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Did you know\u2026 <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>that pineapple tarts are also eaten and shared during Hari Raya, Diwali, Easter, and Christmas \u2013 not just during Chinese New Year? These sweet, bite-sized pastries are a distinctive Peranakan snack.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>I have lived\u2026 <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>in Katong and Joo Chiat my whole life. I have fond memories of my childhood, where I would play in mud, climb trees, and shoot marbles with my neighbours in the kampong (village).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>I love that\u2026 <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>the Katong-Joo Chiat neighbourhood has a harmonious charm. Here, different religious buildings are located in close proximity. You\u2019ll also find narrow roads with no names. It\u2019s also where you can find Mempat trees, a Southeast Asian plant that bears small pink flowers that resemble cherry blossoms sometime in February and August.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Singapore has plenty of\u2026 <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>cultural hidden gems. Bukit Brown tells much of our untold story; and Jalan Bahar is home to the last two dragon kilns in Singapore. These places in our Little Red Dot give us a glimpse into our past, and how different cultures come together in a rapid and harmonious manner for prosperity.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kimchoo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Kim Choo Kueh Chang<\/a>, 109 East Coast Road, p. 6741 2125.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This article was published in Singapore Insider, a series of quarterly print guides produced in partnership with Singapore Tourism Board.
