A glorious historic past - Antong Coffee Mill used to be a villa for Chen Cuifen (1873-1960) who was the "First Revolution Partner" of Sun Yat Sen. After the revolution of 1911, Chen lived in the villa which was also known as Changchun Garden. Rumors said that Sun Yat Sen actually stayed in the villa for a while !
In 1933, Mr Tiah Ee Mooi, the founder of Antong Coffee, rented the villa from the original owner before buying it over 2 years later.
This old villa has a great exhibit of antique items & memorabilia of yesteryears going back to my grandpa & grandma's time for our viewing pleasure !
