Hands-On Peranakan Kueh-Kueh Making Workshop in Singapore

Singapore, a vibrant city-state known for its rich cultural heritage and dynamic food scene, offers more than just skyline views and bustling streets. At The Sundowner, located at 705a East Coast Road, immerse yourself in a unique culinary adventure that reimagines traditional Peranakan kueh-kueh making in an intimate farm-to-table setting. This workshop invites participants aged 13 and above to rediscover childhood memories through hands-on creation of colorful, bite-sized Peranakan snacks, blending heritage with creativity.

This 2.5-hour class begins atop a rooftop farm where fresh, natural ingredients are foraged, emphasizing an authentic connection to the food’s origin. From the green harvest to the steaming basket, you’ll learn to craft both sweet and savory kueh varieties, including classic favorites like kueh lapis, ondeh-ondeh, and radish cake (Lo Bak Go). The Sundowner curates this carefully to offer a rounded taste of Peranakan heritage, making the experience not only delicious but deeply educational.

What sets this workshop apart is its combination of nostalgia, hands-on learning, and local food culture within a small group setting capped at eight participants. The host captures fun, candid moments throughout, allowing you to share your culinary accomplishments on social media — a modern twist on a traditional craft. Plus, you get to savor the freshly made kueh and bring some home, perfect for impressing friends with authentic Southeast Asian flavors.

Singapore’s east coast is a lively area where urban meets nature, and The Sundowner is a rare gem that highlights sustainable, urban farming alongside culinary tradition. The session encourages community spirit and celebrates the unique fusion heritage of Peranakan cuisine. Whether you’re a food lover, culture seeker, or simply want a new way to engage with Singapore's food story, this workshop stands out as an interactive, enriching way to experience local heritage.

This experience is ideal for travelers staying in Singapore wanting to expand beyond typical tourist fare and dive into an edible heritage craft. It’s also perfect for families, solo travelers, and groups seeking an activity that is engaging, educational, and delicious all at once. Embrace the hands-on connection to a treasured local tradition and leave with more than memories — leave with skills and flavors that linger.
