Breakfast @ Kompleks Niaga Limbongan – best roti canai, chicken rice ball, curry laksa

The Kompleks Niaga Limbongan is alike a foodcourt.
Think of it as a muhibbah foodcourt where you can indulge in chicken rice balls, Nyonya laksa as well as roti canai and mee goreng in the early hours of the morning.

Best Western food, pork ribs, pork burgers and steaks in Melaka – Wok and Pan, Nubacha

While local and Nyonya food is the preferred choice for those visiting Melaka, there is no reason to shy away from western cuisine, especially if the food is adeptly prepared using premium ingredients (think imported beef, ribs, homemade soups and burger patties) and priced much, much cheaper than outlets in KL/Singapore prices.

Melaka What to eat : Bukit Cina wantanmee, pork satay, Nadege mille crepe cakes, Roti John, Mods Cafe Jonker Street

In continuation from my day 1 gluttony in the culinary rich scene of Melaka, I started the day with breakfast at The River Cafe, Casa del Rio Melaka. Since I’m hosted here for the next 3 days, I have planned out more exploration for the day; more food explorations of course.

Breakfast semi-buffet and was decent. It was something you can expect from a typical hotel buffet spread where you can pile up on the usual hot meals, cereals, fruits and so forth. Apart from the usual offering, there is a ala-minute menu for you to choose from for your eggs, which appealed to me because the eggs are prepared to order, rather than being prepped in advance and held for service.

We took the usual stuff for breakfast. Bread, pau, muffin and a bowl of cereal. They’re all decent. Nothing to complain but nothing spectacular to rave about either.

Casa del Rio Melaka – Review: The subtle touches that made this hotel an excellent choice for a vacation

If budget is not issue and ultimate comfort is the main criteria for an accommodation choice in Melaka, my recommendation is swift and sure – Casa del Rio, a new boutique hotel sitting majestically on the riverbank, steeped in culture, built of symphonized influences of the many international cultures that have influenced Melaka – principally those of the Chinese (with the early arrival of China’s Admiral Cheng Ho), early Arabic traders, the Portuguese and Dutch is exactly where you should be.
