O Museu Intan Peranakan House

It was an exceptional experience, a small group with tea and desert going over the traditional Peranacan stuff at the spot. The place is small and cozy, but fill with antiques and artifacts. The talk makes all the difference!

Alvin, the owner, is a brilliant storyteller. The house is small but packed with extremely interesting items. The overall experience was wonderful. If you are interested in Peranakan culture and a similar experience at a cheaper price point ($15), do visit the Katong Antique House, which has just reopened for tours. Overall, I recommend visiting both the Intan and the Katong Antique House, as well as the NUS Baba House (free for NUS staff and students).

Informative tour and impressive collection. Owner was welcoming and catered to the request of having bilingual commentary (for my parents who don’t understand english). recommended to all who wants to know more about the Peranakan culture.

Having a special liking for Peranakan culture, I visited The Intan - Celebrating all things Peranakan! with my family to learn more about its history. The owner, Alvin, is very friendly and, being a Baba himself, he was able to share a lot more with us. Do visit this place if you want to know more.

This is a small place but packed with a precious collection from the house owner. The exhibition is unique, displaying items all over the available space, including the stairs, ceiling, and even the toilet.

Alvin was a wonderful host. He explained the Peranakan culture and showed us all the collectibles in the house, making everyone feel at home. Just a little disappointed with the “Tea experience”.

Entrar no museu é como entrar numa era diferente. O anfitrião foi acolhedor e deu-nos a experiência peranakan completa de como eles tradicionalmente receberiam convidados em sua casa!

An interesting and special experience. The museum is our guide's house. You can see his passion for his roots. If you would like to understand Peranakan history and culture, you should not miss this place. We loved his collections of items from Penang, Melaka, and Singapore.

Friendly owner Alvin provided an interesting insight on Peranakan culture and answered the numerous questions we have. Cannot compare with an actual museum, but this definitely has more personal touch.

非常棒的住宿体验，房东非常友好，通过讲故事的方式很好地介绍了他的文化。
