What do you say to an old friend you haven’t seen in years? “Apa khabar?” (How are you?) And if that friend is your grandmother’s kebaya—tucked away or reimagined on a runway—you might ask: “Apa khabar, baju kebaya?” 

Join Baba G.T. Lye, Melissa Sidek, and Richard Tan in a cheeky, heartfelt celebration of Peranakan heritage through music, banter, and dondang sayang. From traditional baju panjang to bold kebaya reinventions, this lively performance explores how we wear, honour, and reimagine culture—with wit, warmth, and style. Come greet your roots with fresh eyes and an open heart.

The programme will be held at the i12 Katong Atrium on Level 1. Discover more Katong Kultura activities this July at i12 Katong here.
