A great experience learning the origins of Peranakan culture. Beautiful home museum and intriguing antique furnitures. Thank you SG culture pass for bringing this to us!

Had a good visit to Mr Alvin's home museum. He was very engaging, had many stories to tell and very hospitable. Highly recommended experience to understand more about the Peranakan culture and about Southeast Asia in general. Thank you 😊

Alvin was lovely in sharing with us the Peranakan culture and willing to share stories to help us understand the culture better. He personalises his tours and answered all of our questions. He has the loveliest house with beautiful Peranakan antique. Would love to come back again!

Private Museum thats cosy and homey vibes. Host is a really cool guy and plays the piano in tune to a remix of old songs that fits the recollection of the olden days. can learn about the Peranakan history here and have a look at the items from the past. also the staircase here appears in SQ's video, pretty cool.
