Joo Chiat 
From Singapore Hotels & Singapore Lifestyle
|
Joo Chiat, together with Katong, is a stronghold of the Peranakan community - descendants of early Chinese immigrant men who married local Malay women.
The Peranakan bibik (elderly ladies), have all but dispersed from Joo Chiat, but the area still has traces of its rich Straits Chinese heritage, like Kway Guan Huat. Perhaps, the finest surviving heritage of the Peranakans lies in the beautifully restored Chinese baroque decorated shophouses along Joo Chiat Road and Koon Seng Road, built in the 1930s.
