Singapore - Just a short walk down the street, I came across The Peranakan Museum located @ 39 Armenian Street. After registering, I was asked by the front desk whether I would like to go on a guided tour and I was the only person on this tour. After about 20 minutes, a Singaporean couple join the tour.
I am a Peranakan and both my parents are Peranakan too. From young, my parents spoke Malay to my grand parents and relatives. Walking through this museum brought back fond memories but some of the old traditions are no longer practice by my family.

Unfortunately, I have to cut short the guided tour to pick up my son. This is one museum all visitors to Singapore should go to.
