INTRODUCTION
Graced by the quaint charms of Katong, Rumah Bebe, a Peranakan Shop-in-a-Home
is dedicated to preserve the traditional arts and welcomes visitors with a remarkable choreography of scents, sounds and sights.
From the Peranakan pot-pourri of Bunga Rampai, to the strains of ethnic
Keronchong music and displays of exclusive antique beadworks, embroideries,
batik-textiles, jewellery, silverware and porcelain, stories of their origins and symbolism unfold. Structurally built in 1928,
Rumah Bebe maintains the layout of a typical Peranakan house with formal features such as a reception hall, inner hall,
kitchen and a bridal chamber, decorated with old handcrafted gold-gilded screens, ornate doors and colourful glazed tiles.
