On a low-profile rooftop farm in Singapore, The Sundowner stages a deliberate return to the tactile pleasures of food: foraging small produce, shaping colorful Peranakan kueh-kueh by hand, and sending a steaming basket to the table. The private workshop is equal parts craft lesson and communal treat—an invitation to relive childhood bites while learning recipes and techniques central to Peranakan snack culture.

THE PROCESS

Farm-to-Table Foraging and Hands-On Preparation

The session begins on The Sundowner’s rooftop farm where participants forage simple ingredients, then move into a hands-on workshop to prepare traditional kueh-kueh from scratch—bringing the garden straight to the steaming basket.

THE FOOD

Old-School Peranakan Kueh-kueh

You’ll learn to recreate the bite-sized, colorful snacks of childhood—rolling, shaping, and steaming traditional kueh-kueh so you can taste and take home freshly made examples of this heritage cuisine.

THE MOMENT

Shared Meals and Social-Ready Captures

The experience is designed to be playful: guests eat their creations together and the host documents the session so participants walk away with edible souvenirs and photos ready for social sharing.
