Hands-On Peranakan Kueh-Kueh Workshop on Singapore’s Rooftop Farm

Singapore’s energetic cityscape offers a surprising slice of green on East Coast Road, where The Sundowner hosts a one-of-a-kind culinary adventure deepening your connection to Peranakan heritage. The “Make Kueh Kueh (Private)” experience invites participants aged 13 and up to step into the colorful world of traditional Peranakan snacks, blending food history with hands-on craft on an urban rooftop farm. In about two and a half hours, you’ll forage fresh ingredients right at the farm, then roll up your sleeves to learn how to prepare classic kueh-kueh — the vibrant bite-sized treats loved throughout Southeast Asia.

This workshop stands apart in Singapore’s dynamic outdoor recreation scene by offering a farm-to-table immersion in one of the city’s culinary roots. Instead of a typical tour or tasting, you actively create your own sweet and savory kueh under expert guidance, from dough to steaming basket. The rooftop setting here adds natural charm with fresh herbs and tropical greens grown just steps away, grounding this culinary craft in sustainability and local freshness. It’s a rare urban escape that feels both intimate and interactive.

Expect to work on two traditional kueh — typically one sweet and one savory. Options might include the multi-layered kueh lapis, chewy ondeh-ondeh with palm sugar and coconut, or the radish cake known as Lo Bak Go among savory offerings. Each bite is an authentic taste of Peranakan flavor, infused with history from a culture known for blending Chinese, Malay, and Indonesian culinary influences.

The Sundowner’s experienced hosts don’t just teach; they capture your engagement with memorable photos perfect for sharing your kitchen triumphs on social media. With small groups capped at eight, the workshop ensures personalized attention, fostering a lively atmosphere where stories and smiles come as easily as the kueh you create. It’s perfect for locals and travelers eager to dive beyond dining and actively connect with Singapore’s food heritage.

Located at 705a East Coast Rd, this workshop places you conveniently near Singapore’s vibrant neighborhoods and coastal parks, making it an ideal add-on to a day of urban or seaside exploration. Whether you’re rekindling childhood memories or discovering kueh-kueh for the first time, this farm-to-table experience is a flavorful gateway into Singapore’s culinary traditions. Book your private session directly with The Sundowner, and savor the joy of making—and eating—Peranakan delights fresh from the rooftop farm.
