Melaka Food Highlights

0 comments

We stayed at the Time Hotel Melaka which is located near the city centre in Melaka. The good part about this hotel is that it is located near to the major shopping malls like Dataran Pahlawan and Mahkota Parade, and is walkable to the famous Jonker Street. We went there during a peak season and the room rate was relatively cheap at SGD37.74/night. However, the downside is that the hotel facilities are quite bad. Our room card couldn't access our room despite several changes and update of their system, so we ended up having to request for their staff to open our room door for us every time. Apart from that, there was no hair dryer available and no connection to wifi in room at all. We won't recommend this hotel unless you are going for the cheap room rate. Personally, we prefer the Fenix Inn, which is even nearer to their shopping malls, and is also where we stayed at in our previous trip (Read the entry here).

Nyonya Makko Restaurant


Along our hotel stretch at Jalan Melaka Raya, there are Watsons, hair salon, massage parlours, restaurants and eateries. We went to the Nyonya Makko Restaurant along the Jalan Melaka Raya stretch for a Nyonya lunch.

Tidbits & Towels (RM1.80)

Pong Teh (RM10)

Tapioca Leaves (RM7)

Tauhoo Makko (RM7)

I quite like the Pong Teh as the sauce is flavourful and goes well with rice. Tapioca Leaves were pretty normal, nothing much to pinpoint. But I find myself don't quite fancy the Tauhoo as it is quite
blend.

Total Bill: RM30.20

Restaurant Sin Yin Hoe

Somewhere near the Jonker Street at Lorong Hang Jebat there are a few coffee shops and there is stall just outside the coffee shop which he recommended for me to try. Sadly, I find it a disappointment as the oyster omelette is not up to mark. As seen in the picture below, the oysters were tiny and the omelette were chopped into tiny pieces. This small plate of oyster omelette actually costed RM8, which is rather steep.

Bibik House Cendol

This Cendol eating house is location at Jonker Street and tables were set up outside the shop for customers to have their bowls of cendol.



Cendol (RM4)

After adding in the jellies and mixing - ready to dig in!

I find the cendol average. I hope to find a better cendol on my next visit. But if you visit malacca, you should try the cendol, as it is one of their specialities.

ABC Nyonya Cendol

Next up, we would like to introduce the star of our this Melaka trip. The ABC Nyonya Cendol Stall is located outside Aik Cheong Coffee at Jonker Street at night.


Assam Laksa

This is the to-die-for assam laksa which we had in Malacca. The soup base is sweet and sour, and the noodles are very smooth and chewy.


Oyster Omelette

We had this oyster omelette at one of the stalls along the stalls in the same area. Not bad. There are also several other stalls in the area, and to my surprise there was even a sushi stall! I strongly recommend you to prepare your stomach for the food stalls when you visit Jonker Street.


Restoran Tim Sum Man Ting Siang

Man Ting Siang Restaurant is located along the same stretch as the well-known Restoran Ban Lee Siang Satay Celup at Jalan Ong Kim Wee. This dim sum restaurant is an old coffee shop which sells cheap and decent dim sum.

century egg porridge

Fried Carrot cake

Fried Prawn Dumpling

I particularly like the fried carrot cake which comes in big carrot cake chunks with egg bits. It tastes quite different from those I had before in Singapore which has bigger eggs spreading over smaller carrot cake chunks.

Restoran Hau Wang

We went to this zi char place on our way from Malacca to Johor. Thumbs up for the cheap and good zi char.



Hotplat Tofu (RM6)


Fried Kai lan (RM 6)

Sweet and Sour Pork (RM8)

Overall, they serve decent and cheap zi char for 2 person at RM25. It is not located near the Causeway if you're going in from Singapore and the place is not bustling happening, so I would recommend you to drop by if you're heading back Singapore from Melaka.

Total bill: RM25

328 Katong Laksa

 328 Katong Laksa - Small ($4.50)

We happened to be in the Katong area and passed by the 328 Katong Laksa which has many photos of celebrities on their wall, so we decided to give it a try. Sadly, it was quite a disappointment! The laksa soup was not very flavourful and not worth shouting for at all.

Baci Italian Cafe

0 comments

We were attracted by the clean, cozy and sophisticated layout of the restaurant, so we decided to give this Italian restaurant a try.

Parma Ham Pizza ($10.50+)
Mixed Seafood Cream Spaghetti ($13+)

The Parma Ham Pizza comes with Parma Ham, mushroom, bell peppers and mozzarella cheese. The pizza base is crispy and I could taste the freshness of the ham. The pasta was a 'make-your-own-pasta' where you can choose your own pasta, sauce and toppings. The taste was average.

Overall, I don't find the restaurant particularly good.

Total bill: $25.15

I have heard good reviews about this gyoza eatery in Raffles City, so we decided to try it out one day.

Fuwatoro Tenshin Han Set ($12.90++)

The perfect-looking Fuwatoro Tenshin Han



I was so attracted by the intriguing Fuwatoro Tenshin Han which looks so perfectly wrapped and dipped in gravy. It has a soft and fluffy omelette wrapped outside the Japanese rice and the gravy added to the flavour of it which tasted kinda like mui-fan. The whole Fuwatoro Tenshin Han is a huge portion and is quite plain to  finish the whole thing just by myself.


Pork Ginger & Fried Chicken Set ($13.90++)
As for the goyza, I find the dumpling skin thin and soft and the meat filling quite fresh. But it is not really exceptionally good that I would crave for it. The pork ginger and fried chicken which came with the other set meal tasted average.

Ham Crepe ($13.20+)
I love this ham crepe! The cheese and ingredients blend well together and the veg are fresh.

Swiss Rosti with German Coarse Pork Sausage ($12.10+)

The Rosti is made fresh from potatoes which they peel and grate just right besides the chef. As such, I could taste the fresh and crunchy shred of potatoes in the rosti. The pork sausage was quite burnt and tasted average. I highly recommend the Rosti.

Bread and Butter Pudding ($5.60+)

This Bread and Butter Pudding has the sweetness just right and filled the stomach warmly. I think it may not be the best dessert in marche, but it does have its own appeal.

Total bill: $33.05

Astons Specialities

0 comments

Astons Specialities is the Western Restaurant which serves value-for-money and tasty Western cuisine. $10 may be all you need to have in your wallet to get a main with 2 sides.

Grill Fish with Herb, Cheese Macaroni and Potato Salad ($8.50)



Hickory BBQ Chicken, Cheese Macaroni and Baked Potato ($7.90)

For their sides, there are 2 types - cold or hot. I personally recommend cheese macaroni as one of their must order for the side dishes. The other of my favourite is the potato salad which is served cold with the mayonnaise mixture cream.

As for the Mains - Grill Fish with Herb and Hickory BBQ Chicken, both tasted good with nice sauce/seasoning.

Astons is the best deal for Western Cuisine thus far!

Total Bill: $17 (no GST/Svc Charge)

Black Ball

Blackball Signature (Icy) (RM6.90)

The BlackBall Signature is a combination of grass jelly ice, yam ball, taro Q, golden sweet potato, sweet potato ball, red bean, pearl and grass jelly into a cooling bowl of dessert. This dessert come in 4 variations - hot, warm, cold and icy. We had the icy, which had grass jelly ice shavings hidden at the bottom of the ingredients. The taro Q, yam ball and sweet potato balls were very chewy and the grass jelly was smooth. This is definitely a recommended cooling dessert!
