Step into the intriguing world of consorts, concubines, mistresses, secret lovers, and wives – all bound by love, affection, and the complexities of human relationships. While the wife held the most esteemed role in the family, others played their part in the shadows, often as ladies of pleasure.

This practice, though seemingly old-fashioned, has roots that stretch back to the days of emperors and kings and continues to echo in modern times.

In Singapore, Bukit Pasoh was once a hotspot for such arrangements. Today, this charming street is lined with beautifully conserved shophouses and buildings, but in its heyday, it was home to women who captivated the hearts (and wallets) of wealthy men. Their lives were far from simple – mastering the Art of Affection & Care was no easy feat.

Join us on a leisurely stroll through Bukit Pasoh as we unravel the stories of these women and explore the meanings behind terms like consort, concubine, mistress, and more. Along the way, you’ll discover Instagram-worthy spots and imagine what life was like in this fascinating era.

We’ll meet at Outram Park MRT Station (Exit 4, street level, towards Dorsett Hotel) at 9am on 30th March 2025. The tour will conclude at Eng Hoon Street, another historic “Mistresses Lane,” with a short bus ride from Bukit Pasoh Road (please bring your bus card). Expect to finish by 11.30am or 12pm.

Don’t miss this chance to explore a hidden chapter of Singapore’s history – where love, luxury, and secrets intertwined. Bring your curiosity, your camera, and perhaps a dictionary, as we delve into the captivating world of Bukit Pasoh.
