Today's Peranakan Mansion is a living museum

take this opportunity

Have a chance to see

That's how it turned out to be

You'd better restore it exactly as it was

Basically, Heeren Street feels preserved.

It has more of the original flavor of history

My owner want to keep it as authentic as possible

so for us operating people it's slightly difficult

because why you cannot use trolley, all human

So when I saw it, I felt it was so magnificent.

In fact, every time we try to understand the past

I said besides reading

The best way

In fact, it means being able to be there

So the whole structure of the building becomes very important

So this is my first time

Just stepped into

My first impression of this Peranakan Mansion

The moment it opens the door

I said I can feel it completely

That's really how you can be so rich

So this is the first one I think

No matter the paintings,

And then whatever you get from it, this furniture

You carve it from this

What you see, for example, along the way

These are hanging on the wall

You can feel that

Nowadays we always said

He is really very rich

First impression they're walking this is something that hardly

they can find anymore the maintenance of how unique

is a baba nyonya home

they have been seen quite a lot

one look they come in there's a wow effect really. Of course

one wow effect is the architecture and the ambience

the ambience of the restaurant give people the first impression

a lot of people don't dare to walk in

because they thought is it

a restaurant is the home or what. When you walk in wow

you can't find this type of traditional

well maintained type of architecture

basically here the flooring, the tile

the structural is all original hundred over years ago

As soon as you enter the door

I see this all the time here

This chandelier

this

This kind of chandelier is usually hung very high, but it

Hang very low

So when I saw it, I felt like it was so magnificent.

If you come in again

Look at the things hanging on its walls

And this plaque

So is this plaque.

a top of the table talk

While you are eating here

Everyone must talk about this thing

Because there are a few words in it

I don't understand either

I asked

I see

But now I forgot

So this is still worth it

to let us think about it

So very interesting

Sometimes when I come here to eat

Behind it was originally a single-story

A storage room made of those gravel tiles

And knock it off

Make two more layers

It just connects the two floors.

From the back, the downstairs becomes the kitchen.

The upstairs becomes our kitchen storage room.

Because of my thoughts at that time

Downstairs is the restaurant

Upstairs is the private room

A house with special VIP

then i think

only way

Just bring the kitchen to upstairs

So the upstairs is also part of the kitchen

Then I made an

Elevator for carrying food

Just completed

What about its back alley?

That last

What about the short space of more than ten feet?

Also need to add an extra toilet

There are toilets upstairs and downstairs

Because the whole house

no good toilet

So what about its design?

It's very smooth

Very beautiful

Boarding wood carving in the lobby

The wood carvings in the second hall are both magnificent.

we just repaint it

Repaint it

with gold paint

The feeling of splendor comes out

Then the floor tiles are still intact

Good floor tiles OK

Where are those wooden boards upstairs?

Still complete

Very good wooden boards. We added some screens.

transform it into

private rooms

upstairs

There is a hall in front

It's just above the hall

A large room upstairs

It has a lot of space and quite big

Space for 60 people

So we were thinking

Why not make it a place to perform

Singing, etc. Performing music

In the second courtyard

We just took that original

double height space

In addition to making a glass rain cover

Our double-height space

Against that wall,we

Knock them out one by one.

See it as original and beautiful

Bricks produced in that Dutch period

At that time, the houses were all made of Dutch bricks.

The bricks they are talking about are Dutch bricks

Thin, thin and long

Thin and wide

There is a small well next to it

What about that well?

Let me just say that the well is over there.

But the location is a bit weird

So if I think I should cooperate with that well

We made a spiral staircase to go up

Upstairs, in that space

Let's add one more element

That element is not in it at all.

Just made an extra spiral staircase

Heeren Street

Impressions from my childhood

We had no chance of going to Heeren Street

Heeren Street is a place where wealthy people hang out.

Then Heeren Street

It's name

In the minds of Malacca people

It has always been called Heeren Street to this day.

Even though it has been renamed

The official name is Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock

Heeren Street today

You can see that many doors are locked

If it weren't some units now

Change to this luxurious Baba Nyonya restaurant

You have no chance to go in and visit

You can have an authentic Nyonya meal

and where you can see this place

It can make you feel like you're running back

many years ago

They live in the house of Baba Nyonya

Of course, this is an impressive situation

So eat in the museum

Really accomplishes multiple things with one stone

I think the characteristics of Heeren Street are

just different from Jonker Street

Basically, Heeren Street feels preserved.

The one with more history

That original flavor

Eng Choon Association

Then there are some Baba Museum,Persatuan Che Chiang Kho

These are all kept very original

Just like this one

Its structure is very special

Actually I think it's very special here

Because it is not used to live here

previous owner

It is used to entertain guests

Then I heard that they live next door

So the life before

Basically downstairs

you serve guests,then the owner

basically live upstairs.

that's why i say here is for people to come in

it's just a pass by for praying then they go through the next

the main. Basically,

this unit is just like a living for them

to walk in, people comes in. This courtyard

then go to the second thats where they go in through thats

where the kitchen

the dining and of course staircases to

go upstairs. Last time they don't have back lane one

it's just like you open your door

because Dr Ee's clinic was directly to the back

so their home is here, she opened the door

she can go to the clinic. Previously,

the length for this property is about a hundred and fifty feet

compared to the overseas is 300

so basically this unit or this row is shortened to 220

because of the backlane done by the Bandaraya

so this block only all got backlane

so the government do a backlane on this block. Previously,

this block with main Jonker back, they are back to back

you open the back door and other open there

I can see you, so what the government did is before

they went to convert it to a commercial, Jonker

so they cut off the main

and they cut off this side to do a backlane

compared to this unit

we have two courtyards and you compare to the one

that's across the road that also

this Baba Nyonya type, they got three courtyards

and they are three hundred meters

sorry three hundred feet away

so that is a different, two courtyard

Its owner

Once upon a time Malacca

One of the chairman in Cheng Hoon Teng Temple

While defending Bukit Cina

exerted that very firm stance

in defending Bukit Cina’s position

Because of their status

to protect this cultural asset

This is all history that has passed

Then it belongs to this big family

People named Ee

I've meet this one too

The chairman of the Cheng Hoon Teng Temple

and his eldest son

He also has another son who is a dentist

I've meet them all

So these people may not be around now

Or immigrated overseas

Their former residences

Let it go so that these ancient relics can be reborn

Become able to talk to tourists

A place shared by international tourists

I think it's very precious

restaurants like this

in Malacca

Even unique in Malaysia

You will get favorite from

friends all over the world

because last time it was a jewelry museum

so it was list out because of covid

the business couldn't sustain, so the tenant released back

so my owner took it back

so it was just the right timing

that they were planning to open a nyonya restaurant

so my owner want to keep it as authentic as possible

so for us operating people

it is slightly difficult

because why you cannot use trolley, all human service

we cannot use trolley

even upstairs

and when my food lift is hundred and twenty feet away

you have to carry, so upstairs only when we open

it is only for high-end dining

it's not like a hotel that you put a trolley

I can just push and go, this is all from a food

lift they have to carry, clearly

they have to carry right to 100 over feet

so that is what we call human, more to human work

and then you see the flooring up and down

until now we

put the special light and there a lot you know

up down is all the light that we put. So that mind your step

because why this is all original

if you look at a lot of their properties

they'll seal it off

they seal it off

and make it flat. So my this owner still want to maintain it. A lot of antique are all upstairs

a lot of things that you know

you hit it might drop as what you say antique things

so without any staff bring

we will not let people goes up and of course

when we have room for function

we have the people up there

and we of course

the do and don't we tell the customer

so these are a heritage, this is something all antique

please take good care and of course

those fragile things we will not put near the dining area

Of course

it's not easy as you say, now

it's not a home for people stay, it's public

who people will comes in. Of course

touch wood(luckily) until now

so far most of the things are still intact

When these tiles broken

It cannot been replaced anymore

some of the customer who travel around

as I told you before, the floor

the tiles you can't find anymore

but you can see in India

you can't find in Malaysia. Once it's gone,

it is gone. In India, old house

because they went to the India and old house, exactly

the same and this is original. Structural wood is original,

we don't change. Furniture,

some of the furniture are from the Ee's families times. Of course,

some of them are add on

When we walked into Peranakan Mansion?

we can feel that

The entire building is quite intact

Basically in Malacca

This kind of complete building

Probably not much

Many of them were installed later.

This Peranakan Mansion

is more special

You'd better restore it exactly as it was

so

This is really something that comes with no waste of effort.

The process

I mean in your grandpa time, it's already very beautiful.

Just restore it

fix it up

Rebuild the light

Add something more complicated, maybe air conditioning.

How to add the air conditioner

when it doesn't affect or destroy its structural aspects?

Install that air conditioner in

Then also the fan

Just create the light and that’s it

and whatever furniture imtact like the staircase,

the frame is hundred thirty three years and above

why is it so maintained

so good and so nice

because the wood that they are using

is called Chennai wood

Chennai wood means termite to attack, it difficult to get

so that's why if you maintain that is the wood

and you don't need to do shellac

it just clean up is very nice and unique

that's why

a lot of professional people who are in the wood industry

when they came

one look they say wow

this is all original

that's where I get the knowledge what type of wood they are using
