We had an incredible experience with Angeline as our guide. She was truly fantastic—knowledgeable, approachable, and always eager to share her expertise. Throughout the tour, she provided fascinating insights into Peranakan heritage and culture, making the history come alive in a way that was both engaging and informative.
The Katong Antique House has many interesting artefacts on display. Each item told a unique story, and Angeline did an excellent job of explaining their significance.
I highly recommend this experience for people interested in learning more about Peranakan culture. It's a great opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of this rich and vibrant heritage.

Eric and Eddie were wonderful hosts who took the time and trouble to give a good account of who Peranakans were and the lives they lead. The house itself was a strong supporting actor chock full of furniture, clothing and other memorabilia. Strongly recommended.

Angeline is an amazing and captivating guide. She brought us around and showed us the collection the house had. She went above and beyond our expectations by extending the tour too. She gave us a greater understanding of the Peranakan culture. Will recommend to others.

My little boy 10 years old and I had great experience with Angeline. She was very kind and imformative. We have been for many other Peranakan museums but I felt Angline‘s explaination was very clear and knowledgable. And the decoration of Antique House was very nice and beautiful especial Angline showed us backyard and kitchen. The kitchen was amazing. We will definately bring my parents and relatives to visit again.
