Good Nyonya restaurant in Melaka – Wok and Pan
Wok and Pan had fed hungry Malaccans and tourists since 2005.
Famous for their western repertoire, the Nyonya menu is often overlooked.
Good and cheap nasi lemak in Melaka for breakfast – Nasi Lemak & Minuman Ah Ho
I got Cerventus to thank again for this.
After ONE visit, I got hooked and now Ah Ho Nasi Lemak is one of my favourite breakfast spots in Melaka. Heck, Ah Ho might possibly be serving the best Chinese version nasi lemak in Melaka, for other than the Malay variant available at Ming Huat in Pasir Ujong I don’t think there are any other around that offers the same?
Well, if you have any to recommend, I’m all ears!
Good Melaka Food – Nyonya food at Samfu Restaurant, Mimosa Hotel
Always in search for the best Melaka Nyonya food/restaurant, my friend and I decided to try out Samfu Restaurant about 2 weeks ago.
Located within the walls of Mimosa Hotel (old Lian Fatt building), the restaurant, as I was told, is not part of the hotel.
Separately owned and ran, its main entrance is at the right side of the building, right where the carpark is.
Thus the restaurant outer facade can’t be seen from the main road and I find that such a pity as the restaurant’s entrance is part of a pretty wall mural!
Halal/Pork free: Best Nasi Lemak, Mee Kahwin Melaka – Ming Huat, Ujong Pasir
If you would like a taste of a mee rebus and rojak recipe that has spanned 3 generations, this is it.
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.
Good pork-free Nyonya food in Melaka – Bulldog Cafe
When I posted about the excellent Nyonya food served at Unicorn Cafe (link –> HERE) a few months back, many readers and friends rejoiced, for they too have been searching high and low for a restaurant that serves good Nyonya food that is fairly priced.
Based on my observations, Nyonya restaurants that serves pork on the menu are lesser in number (correct me if I’m wrong) than those who steer clear of pork for business reasons.
Besides, Nyonya food/dishes are traditionally pork based (again, correct me if I’m wrong as I’m still learning) so I figured that if the restaurant serves pork, it is potentially “more authentic“.
Anyhow the happy discovery of Unicorn Cafe had lead to demand of a similar food establishment, but one suitable for the Muslim crowd.
Kuih Keria in Melaka – Haji Jalil Kuih Keria Antarabangsa & Kuih Keria Antarabangsaw Hjh Rahman
Kuih keria is one of my “must-eat” items whenever I am in Melaka.
Yes, I don’t post about it as much as nyonya kuih and all my cafe hopping pictures. But the kuih keria here is truly one of its kind.
The keria in KL?
Urgh, none that I know of could even come close.
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.
