A place with over 500 years of history.
Gambling. Opium. Prostitution. All these made up the vices along Jalan Bunga Raya, Melaka, in its history until the 1970s.
If you stand at one end of Jalan Bunga Raya, with Discovery Cafe on your left and Taj Grand Hotel on your right, this is where wealthy Chinese merchants used to live.
A lot of the two-storey colonial buildings still maintain the original architecture, with the iconic big windows and wooden shutters.
These old-style houses comprise shops on the ground floor and residence upstairs.
“During Chinese New Year, I used to hang out with my classmates on the balcony and we would throw live fire crackers down to the road.
Tai Chong Ice Cafe at Bunga Raya lasted more than 60 years until 2018.
