Peranakan Place, Singapore

Peranakan Place, Singapore (1 August 2017)


Peranakan Place (GPS: 1.30141, 103.83929) is a row of restored two-storey pre-war shophouses in Singapore. It is located along Emerald Hill Road, until the junction with Orchard Road. The houses were built around 1902. They have been restored as part of the Emerald Hill Conservation Area, within the Orchard Planning Area, in Postal District 9.

The name Peranakan Place is very much a branding exercise established by the people who won the tenancy en bloc for these houses from the Urban Redevelopment Authority on 28 November 1984, and they created a company called Peranakan Place Complex Pte Ltd. To a minor extend, it commemorates the presence of a few notable Peranakans who moved to the Emerald Hill area in the early 20th century, among them the Seow family.

The founding of Peranakan Place is to showcase Peranakan culture. By offering food such as laksa, mee siam and satay, the place celebrates Singapore's Peranakan cuisine.
