During our stay at Estadia Hotel, we also checked out their Jom Makan promotion at Makan Nyonya restaurant. The new promotion, available daily (Monday to Sunday) from 12pm until 10.30pm, features five different set meals for only RM16, and is inclusive of a glass of iced lemon tea.
The restaurant's signature dish is the Nyonya Fish Head, which you can have cooked with either curry or assam broth. Melaka is famous for its asam pedas, so that's what we opted for. You can have half a fish head for RM42 or a whole fish head for RM78. Served in a large claypot, the broth was tangy, spicy and appetizing and comes with a whole load of vegetables such as lady's fingers, tomatoes, onions, long beans, brinjal and dried beancurd. They use red snapper, and it was pretty meaty. Overall very enjoyable and you'd definitely want a lot of rice to go with the assam broth/sauce.
Actually buat mummy yang pertama kali merasai menu Peranakan Baba Nyonya ni walaupun dah berpuluh tahun duduk dekat sini, menu-menu ni memang membuka selera mummy. Selera mummylah, selera korang mummy tak pasti pulak. hehhee so kalau ke datang sini. Jangan lupa singgah ok.
Overall, the dishes are delicious and affordable with beautiful ambiance. Their portion is bigger than others, so if you usually order medium, then you have to order small one at Seri Nyonya. If you are looking for Nyonya Cuisine during Melaka trip, definitely this is a good choice for you.
