Once I knew I was heading to Melaka for a short trip, the first thing on my mind was Cendol1!! Jonker 88 was my favourite since the first time I went when I was 14 years old. *10 years ago, I'm old.*
Food ordering is self service here at Jonker 88. Before you order, you need to find a table first. Then you also need to bring the food to your own table. The food is prepared pretty fast so even if there is a long queue, it won’t be a long wait.
We ordered the Jumbo Baba Laksa, which cost a bomb (RM 10++). When I am at Malacca, I normally opt for curry laksa, the one with coconut milk, and not the one akin to asam laksa, with kembung fish and dark clear soup. I absolutely love their laksa! I love the soup for its creaminess but it's not full of fats kind of creaminess.
This place is way too popular, we came before the shop opened and was the first batch to went in. Service is great, food is good and the environment is nice. So it is popular for good reasons.

The pasta, which has spaghetti with mushroom, chicken ham and crunchy smoked duck topped with a poached egg and shaved parmesan, is delicious. The noodles are cooked al dente, giving them a nice bite, and the sauce is creamy without being overwhelming.
We wrap up the whole meal with a plate of stir-fry cabbage RM3.00 (RM1.50 per head) since the lady boss highly recommends to us, just decided to have it since it was cheap and need to meet our fiber intake quota for that day. 😉 Guess our tongue was malfunctioning because we really felt that the stir-fried cabbage was the best dish we had throughout the meal (the first dish we cleared in Hoe Kee), cabbage has an irresistible crunchy texture and tend to be less greasy, super sweet and flavourful with a delightful scent of garlic – with this dish alone guess we can clear a plate of plain rice without any problem!
Price : 5.0 / 10 ( 1 – Expensive , 10 – Cheap) Taste : 7.0 / 10 ( 1 – Nightmare , 10 – Heaven). Service : 6.5 / 10 ( 1 – Terrible , 10 – Good) Environment : Restaurant Seats Availability : Very limited but short waiting time Parking : Very limited
Hoe Kee Chicken Rice, a popular destination for Hainanese Chicken Rice Balls.
I had the Mamee in Kuah Lodeh, which is the creamy, coconut-rich gravy that is usually served with lontong (compressed rice) – only they replaced it with noodles, of course! Portions were generous; there was plenty of shrimp and tofu to soak up the delicious broth, topped with half a boiled egg. The noodles were springy with a slight bite.
Cuppa noodle. Each cup is priced at RM5.20. You can choose between Chicken or Curry or Tom Yam flavor seasoning for your noodle later.
One of our first stops was Mamee Jonker House... who doesn't love the blue iconic Mamee Monster? Here, you will find a cafe (serving local food) and there is also a Merchandise area, Noodle Doodle area upstairs (where you can doodle on your noodle cup and watch it being packed) and a Lil Monster Kitchen (available weekends only) to see how Mamee Monster is made.
Next, we have the Famosa Signature Steam Chicken (half portion) RM22.00 – Hainanese style steam chicken lightly drizzled with soy sauce, parsley and cucumber. The steam chicken is a huge success throughout this meal, succulent tender and juicy at each bite, as expected when they only use chicken meat from Bukit Mertajam, which is well-known for its free-range chicken! 😉
You’re probably familiar with chicken rice, a local specialty in Malaysia and Singapore, in which boiled or roasted chicken is served with chicken-infused rice, typically with chili sauce on the side. You might not be familiar with chicken rice balls, however (I certainly wasn’t until I came to Mela…
Service was quick and within 10 minutes, we were served. Our preference is chicken breast, hence the server suggested that we order 1/4 portion of steamed (RM10) and 1/4 portion of roasted (RM10), which would guarantee us getting the part that we want (and we get to try both types of meat). The chicken, sourced from Bukit Mertajam, was smooth and tender, and I particularly liked the steamed version. The portion is also generous.
Overall, it is a really nice place to chill when you have nowhere to go at night in Melaka.
We appreciate the large seating area which provides enough space for visitors to wander around the cafe comfortably or even do some work with your laptop without having to squeeze.
Backlane Coffee is a nice and cozy cafe place in the Jonker Street of Melaka, serving all kinds of desserts, coffee, tea and juices.
To be frank, it was more coconut milk than the gula melaka that made up the overall taste. I would have prefer more gula melaka given we were in its place of origin! Nevertheless, I do enjoy the green stuff which had an appetizing saltiness complementing its alkaline flavor, and the crunchy beans.
We ordered not one but three... no sharing... The fresh santan, the fresh green cendol and the gula melak makes a great combination!
3 bowls of yummy-licious Cendol with cream corn.
Taste Better is one of the little kiosk I spotted in Malacca and here, you can fin d their famous item which is there Durian Puff which creates a unique natural flavor and must have when you visit
Satay celup is a unique food experience that can only be found in Melaka. It involves dipping a skewered food of your choice into this boiling hot pot of spicy peanut sauce right in the center of the table. And today we’ll be visiting one of the most famous spots in Melaka for Satay Celup called Ban Lee Siang.
*The few must-have ingredients based on our experience: brown squid, fried tofu skin, kangkung, pork ball, bacon slice, and quail eggs.
Tips from 食 La Vie; parking will be an issue during peak hour so be patient in finding one. Do not visit this restaurant if you are someone who is very concerned of hygiene issue. If you are someone who favor satay, we have a post of Kajang’s satay here.
Chicken rice balls are one of the most fun (and delicious) foods to try when you visit Melaka in Malaysia - you should try them at Kedai Kopi Chung Wah Cafe
The dining place is just like any typical kopitiam with no aircon at all but the price of the foods are definitely cheaper and the foods are quite nice too.
What is so unique about this place? Well, is just that the rice had turn into round shape. Chicken is pretty normal and nothing to shout about.
It has been a while since we posted Melaka food so this is one of the recent restaurant we visited this year. This is one of the hidden gems that is not popular with tourists. Low Yong Moh Dim Sum Restaurant opened since 1947 and it is one of the oldest restaurants in Melaka. They are located at 32, Jalan Tokong Melaka and they open daily for breakfast except Tuesdays. Low Yong Moh is owned by the Hakka from Fui Chiew.
Parsley Pork Dumpling – overall same as siu mai but have a strong flavor of parsley within the minced pork, taste-wise is great but still hate the super dried texture.
Still, its still a decent place for some food and a light breakfast.
The Baboon House is also a pet friendly restaurant. The Baboon House Location: No.89, Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock Phone: +60 12-601 0363 Opening Hours: 1000 - 1700 Wednesday to Monday 1000 - 1900…

Ranked 2 out of 548 restaurants in Malacca, this place is the worst kept secret in Malacca. Despite its high rank and popularity, the place still exudes its unique style and provides all patrons with space to relax and enjoy a moment of tranquil peace from the usual bustling craze outside its doors.

Cendol is okay, just opposite the Dutch Square.

Cendol merupakan antara hidangan minuman yang digemari ramai termasuklah Cendol Jam Besar, yang terletak berhadapan dengan Pejabat Pos Lama, Bandar Hilir.
Korean shaved ice with cendol and mango.
Taaraaaa... harga murah kan.. Ambil mangga sahaja RM6.. K.Ika tambah ais krim RM1.. Servis cas Rm0.42 sen sahaja.. Pada K.Ika dah berbaloi lah dengan harga nie..
Mula-mula tempat ni dikenali sebagai Cendol Kampung Hulu. Dan kemudian ia ada sewa tapak dalam bangunan sebelah kedai cendol dia dan buka pelbagai gerai makanan ia dipanggil Makan Venue. Kalau orang kata dia singgah ke Cendol Kampung Hulu atau Makan Venue sama ler tu.
We start off with a plate of water-boiled soft shell clam aka Lala RM3.00 which serves like 10-12 pieces of fresh clams on each plate. The clam flesh is big, tender, sweet and juicy, great enough to savor plain and it gives even more kicks (flavourful and spicy) while dipping into the soy and chili sauce.
The first night, we decided check out the Longkang Siham, loosely translated as blood cockles by the drain. This is a back alley that is famous for cheap and fresh seafood, where patrons sit on tin…
听闻马六甲出名 “Longkang Siham”（“Longkang” 就是“垄沟”的谐音，在这里是指“沟渠”或“水沟”的意思；“Siham” 则是广东人说的“蛳蚶”谐音，也就是“鲜蛤”、“血蚶”或“泥蚶”。），一场来到当然要来朝圣一下，毕竟这也是大马后巷美食文化的一种特色嘛！
Beautiful place which serve nice food, and not crowded. Recommended.

A pretty interesting cafe. Food and coffee is alright.
Sin See Tai is a cafe, small batch coffee roastery and bakery in a hidden alley in Melaka. Sin See Tai delivers orders around Malaysia.
Reasons to visit Sin See Tai: excellent coffee made on their house-roasted beans; great sourdough; loved the granola, and the quinoa barley risotto; charming setting; friendly team.
