#summervacay #peranakanhouses A stroll through Joo Chiat in Singapore offers more than just a walk it’s a colorful dive into Peranakan heritage. Rows of pastel-hued shophouses, with their detailed tiles and wooden shutters, line the quiet streets. These charming homes, built in the early 1900s, reflect a blend of Chinese and Malay traditions with European touches. The area is peaceful, with small cafes, bakeries, and shops tucked between the iconic facades. It’s a perfect spot for photos, snacks, or simply soaking in a slower, heritage-rich side of the city.
