During our recent trip to Singapore, we decided to indulge in an authentic Peranakan dining experience at True Blue Cuisine. Located on Armenian Street, right beside the Peranakan Museum, this restaurant is more than just a place to eat—it’s a portal into the vibrant and intricate world of Peranakan culture.

During our honeymoon and anniversary trip, we had the pleasure of staying at The Clan Hotel Singapore, a stunning property that seamlessly blends modern elegance with rich cultural heritage. Located in the heart of Chinatown, this hotel proved to be the perfect sanctuary for our city adventure before flying off to Bali.

After five years of marriage, we finally embarked on our long-overdue honeymoon—celebrating love, partnership, and adventure in two stunning destinations: Singapore and Bali. From the vibrant city life of Singapore to the serene beauty of Bali, this journey was packed with unforgettable experiences, delicious food, and unparalleled hospitality.

At the end of January, my husband and I will be returning to Singapore for the first time in two years to celebrate Chinese New Year, en route to Bali for our 5-year wedding anniversary. Singapore left a deep impression on us during our last visit, so I thought it would be fun to share our experiences from that memorable trip and offer a local-inspired itinerary for anyone looking to experience the city beyond the tourist spots.
