From the blog: Slinging back to Singapore

Coming back to Singapore just a few weeks ago, I was keen to peer below the layer of the place, see the people and the culture of today. Lucky for us, our digs for a few days – the Village Hotel Katong – lay smack bang in the middle of one of Singapore’s most historic and contemporary neighbourhoods of Joo Chiat and Katong, not far from the bustling city centre.

These two areas were the main home to a group of people known as the Peranakan, descendants of Chinese immigrants who came to the Malay Archipelago way back in the 17th century. They grew prosperous as traders and formed their own unique culture, a mish mash of Chinese, Indian and Malay customs best expressed in their vividly coloured tea sets, the way their buildings were decorated and the grand, passionate style of their lives.

New style at Village Hotel Katong

The lobby of the Village Hotel Katong has a very cool collection of Peranakan heirlooms, including a beautiful soup tureen with ornate spoons, which I fancied taking with me if I could! I felt a real connection to this culture, reflecting my own mash up of cultures back home, also with the Singapore connection.
