If you are the same age with me, then you probably know about this building. Tucked along the west bank of Kali Besar in Jakarta's Old Town, a red-brick building has watched the city change shape for nearly three centuries. Then near the end 2023, it goes by two names at once: Toko Merah, the haunted colonial landmark locals whisper about, and Rode Winkel, the coffee house that now welcomes anyone curious enough to walk through its doors.
