★★★★★2 years agoLovely Sunday morning spent here learning about the Peranakan culture. Highly recommended to visit and learn more about the heritage! (By appointment only)

★★★★★6 months agoLove the antique pernakan feature of Kallang Antique House. I signed up a bead work class through culture pass and had the honor of a brief tour of the house. The intricate placement of every item and merticulous craft work displayed colourful artwork and skills of the pernakan. Also the a brief walk through history of the culture uniquely to both Malaysia and Singapore. Appointment has to be made in advance and house not open for tour during the weekends!
