Uncover why these red and white balls mean so much to Peranakan families.
Because for many families here, Tangchek always came first – and at the heart of it all was a humble bowl of kueh ee.
Join us for a special session, “Tangyuen, Peranakan Style”, where we dive into the Peranakan perspective on tangyuan – from the name, to the way it’s prepared, to its powerful role in family and wedding rituals.
Special ANAK highlight: fun-face kueh ee for kids 
This is a family-friendly session – perfect for Anak Members and their parents or grandparents.
Kids will get to roll, shape and decorate their very own “fun face” kueh ee for the season – think cheeky smiles, winks and playful expressions – before enjoying them in sweet syrup. It’s a wonderful way for the young ones to get hands-on with heritage, while the older generation shares stories and memories around the table.
