ArtSG VIP Inside-Outside Shophouse Tour & Investment Tea Tasting S$85
Sonia shows and tells you about some of the most beautiful Chinese Baroque shophouses in Singapore in a 20 min street tour. After, step into a distinctive, decadent and bohemian 107 year old shophouse frozen in time for a 60min tour about shophouse restoration and preservation . Sonia Ong the artist-proprietress recounts her discovery of this abandoned shophouse in 2020, how she nursed it back to health from shambles, and was then rewarded with a few surprises by the house itself.
Join her on her journey back to 1919 in the locale when the house was built, when Singapore was a part of Malaya, when the British ruled Singapore, when Little India wasn’t Little India yet, when horse carriages were still the rage and when Rowell Road was famous. Get intimate with the architectural intricacies and design details of the traditional shophouse in its raw, patina-aged beauty. Enjoy Sonia’s antique and old furniture collection.
Finally, attend a short masterclass on investment Pu-Er and taste a branded fine Pu-Er worth $1000 for a tea break with Sonia while talking about history, art and culture
