Yes, as seen above, 37, Kerbau Road is the ChineseVilla. The one which we spent hours looking for.
The Chinese Villa At No. 37 on Kerbau Road sits the House of Tan Teng Niah, one of Little India’s last surviving Chinese villas. Mr Tan was one of the Chinese businessmen who have made a fortune in Little India. He was the owner of a confectionary business and other few businesses like sweet-making factories along Serangoon Road and a rubber smokehouse on Kerbau Road. Built in 1900, this restored eight-room villa was built for Tan Teng Niah’s wife. Initially , we thought it would be a magnificient architecture.We wonder why the Chinese Villa do not sell Chinese goods but only cloth.
