View of guests and cars parked outside Mandalay Villa, No. 29 Amber Road, during birthday celebration for Madam Tan Teck Neo. Built in 1902 as a holiday resort by prominent Peranakan businessman Lee Cheng Yan, the beautiful seaside bungalow was designed by Lermit & Westerhout. It later became residence of his son Lee Choon Guan and his wife, Madam Tan, who lived here with her family until she passed away in February 1978. With its fanciful facade, it was well known for parties thrown by Madam Tan, which brought the Chinese and British communities together in those days when they seldom mixed.
