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

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!

Pontian Wanton Noodles, JB

Read our Pontian Wanton Noodles, Far East Plaza, Singapore review here


Sugarcane with Chestnut (RM2.50)

Jelly Ice (RM2.50)
The is definitely one of the best drinks for a hot weather. The combination of the lime juice with Ai Yu jelly provides a great cooling sensation! The only bad thing to pinpoint is the overloaded ice cubes which made it troublesome picking out the jellies.

Fried Wanton x 10 pcs (RM4.00)

Dumpling Noodle with Black Sauce (Middle) (RM6.30)

Laksa (Small) (RM5.30)
This laksa is heavenly! The laksa was not very spicy and the tau pok were nicely soaked up with the laksa gravy.

Total Bill: RM20.60 (no GST/Svc Charge)

Hong Kong Kim Gary Restaurant

0 comments

Kim Gary is definitely one of my favourite Hong Kong Cafes in Singapore (or maybe JB as well) which serves pretty good food. They offer a good variety of variety of baked rices, noodles, hot plate dishes, snacks and drinks.

Most of their dishes come in Set Meal which includes your main, a drink, a soup and a dessert. The drinks comes in a quite a good variety of standard list, but if you wish to get other choices of their drinks on their menu you can just top up an amount for it. Whilst the soup would either be borsch or cream soup and the dessert would be dependent on their dessert of the day.

Ice Yuan Yang in Hong Kong Style

From top: Cream Soup & Borsch Soup

Garlic bread

The Borsch Soup is a watery and sweet based soup with mixed ingredients of vegetables. On the other hand, the Cream Soup is a light creamy and serves as a good appetizer to warm up the stomach as it is not too heavy.

Combo Hot Plate (Set Meal Price: RM19.90+)

The Combo Hot Plate is pretty interesting as it comes with grilled pork chop, fish fillet and chicken chop. A range of three different meats served with greens, potato wedges and a corn in sizzling. A good option for carnivores or anyone who wants to try different meats on a plate.

Fish Fillet Baked Rice with Cheese in White Sauce (Set Meal Price: RM18.90+)

The Fish Fillet Baked Rice was served in the basket which we typically seen serving buns or dim sums. The baked rice was served hot and the fish fillets tastes soft. The sweet corns added well to the warm and savoury fillet.

We tried the above in the Johor Bahru outlet at KSL and they currently also have 2 other outlets in Singapore at Vivo City (always seen with long queue during peak hours) and at Tampines 1.

Total bill: RM42.70 (only service charge, no GST)

Warm & Ice Water (RM0.80+ each)

Mexican Burger ($16.90+)

BBQ Chicken Chop (RM17.90+)

The restaurant had a pretty nice ambience with a good variety of western food menu ranging from hotplate, pasta to chicken chop. Both the Mexican Burger and BBQ Chicken Chop were in rather big portion. I like the thick cut fries which made it very satisfying on each bites. The burger was a double beef patties with pepper sauce, which made the burger very flavourful. The chicken chop was also tender and yummy.

Recommended for family to chill out with great food.

Total bill: RM40.05 (only service charge, no GST)

Kinsahi Japanese Restaurant, KSL City Mall, JB

The Kinsahi Restaurant has a very posh and grand outlook. The lighting of the restaurant was rather dark. We got a cubicle sofa seat which gave a private feel. In general, I think the food were pricey and tasted average, which make the grand feel of the restaurant rather empty.

Apple Crumble 

Pepperoni & Cheese Pizza

Tiramisu Latte
The Apple Crumble was served on a sizzling skillet with green apple chunks, vanilla ice cream and a drench of butterscotch cream sauce. I like how the sour green apple chunks tasted with the warm and sweet apple crumble and butterscotch cream sauce. A very warm and satisfying dessert!

Pepperoni & Cheese pizza comes with beef pepperoni with cheese on a tomato base. Pretty yummy.

Tiramisu Latte looks very pretty when served with the layering and the taste did match up with the pretty outlook of the coffee.

Melaka, JB - Day 3

We ended up at this PHD (pizza hut delivery) outlet again, exact same one we visited during our last trip. The soup was placed in styrofoam bowls because they do not offer dine-in. However they do have tables for people to sit in their restaurant to eat.

Soup was quite bland but for take-away standards, it is considered acceptable. The garlic bread was fragrant and tasted good even when eaten without the soup.

We went to this Japanese restaurant call Ichiban Ramen at AEON Tebrau City Shopping Centre. The menu didn't look appealing, but surprisingly,  they served pretty decent Japanese food as above seen.

Blackball at KSL City Mall. I love this dish! It contains Grass Jelly Ice (hidden below Grass Jelly), Grass Jelly, Taro Balls, Taro Q, Pearl & Red Bean. The taro balls were so chewy and yummy.
