The Old Chinese House Museum
Taiping, Malaysia
This is probably the most authentic heritage home in Malaysia which is preserved in its original state, and unlike the Nyonya museums in Melaka or Penang, you can walk around freely and take photos inside. Mr Tang had to renovated the house himself with an eclectic mix of retro British nostalgia, Beatles paraphernalia and 1940s propaganda posters as well as ornate artefacts from China, wooden Nyonya furniture, an impressive carved shrine and antique porcelain. Head over to Mr. Tang’s Vintage shop ‘Kapitan Antiques House’ on Taiping market square to arrange an appointment to view the house – he might even drive you there.
