Highlights

Step into a living piece of history with the Baroque House Old Shophouse Tour, led by proprietor Sonia Ong, as she shares the captivating story of her discovery and restoration of this century-old heritage gem. Once an abandoned relic from 1919, this shophouse has been lovingly revived to reveal its architectural elegance and historical secrets — from its British colonial roots to its role in the evolution of Little India.


Travel back in time to early 20th-century Singapore when horse carriages filled the streets and Rowell Road was a social hub. Admire the patina-aged beauty and intricate craftsmanship of the shophouse’s design, and end your visit with a leisurely afternoon tea featuring the finest Ceylon blends, Sonia’s homemade scones, and tangy lemon curd. This intimate, story-driven experience is a rare opportunity to encounter heritage, art, and hospitality in one enchanting visit.
