Peranakan Culture

Listen Later

You can't talk about Singapore without talking about the Peranakans - a sub-community with a heritage associated with being Straits-born amidst a time of heavy immigration. Elliot, a Peranakan himself, shares his stories of growing up with some exposure to the culture and how he stays in touch with it. In this episode, you can look forward to:

  • Learning about the first Peranakans and how their ancestors came to Singapore (note: there are some traces of slavery as well)
  • Exploring the various aspects of Peranakan culture including food, arts and marriage customs
  • Adding to your list of Peranakan restaurants to check out in Singapore
