We didn’t dislike any of the dishes, but we weren’t excited by any of them either. It’s good home-style cooking, but it’s not going to blow your socks off. Service was efficient and the food came fast.
Verdict: With so many good reviews I’ve read online (some even said this is the best choice when comes to Nyonya dining in Melaka), my dining experience certainly wouldn’t make it the best Nyonya restaurant in Melaka. Perhaps I’ve order the wrong dishes. Food was just decent but did not mind-blowing and I’ve had a better Nyonya meal elsewhere. (Read THIS)
This little Nyonya restaurant is located at Melakaraya area. We went pretty late, about 2pm-ish and yet the queue is still long! Nevertheless, the wait was not that long. We observed that the dishes come within 10 minutes after sitting down, so most of the dishes may have already been prepared way earlier.
Its a nice place and once again Thank You the owner for being so nice allowing us to chip in after his operating hours. I really favor nyonya food therefore my choice of selection is quite particular so may not be the best Nyonya food that I have tried but definitely is one of the famous in Malacca that you can tried some local taste with reasonable price. Rating: 6.8 /10
Finally here comes our long-awaited main dish, The Sambal Udang Petai RM19.00 featuring stir-fry prawn and bitter bean in hot sauce. The overall dish tastes rather spicy, has an irresistible sweet and sour flavor, a perfect dish that will make you enjoy another bowl of rice in no time! 😉

During beratur tu, korang dah boleh usha menu apa nak makan. Bayar lepas order kat depan tu jugak. Servis laju. Jangan risau eh? Kebetulan perut memang dok lapar ni. Here is my verdict, nasi ayam kepal ni rasanya biasa. Maybe sebab ramai selebriti yang dah datang ke sini, jadi tempat ni famous? By the way, ayam diperap lembut, and sup fish ball tu simple. Berbaloi dengan harga makanan. Korang yang nakkan kelainan, boleh datang untuk cuba, k?
Overall semua not bad.Sedap pun sedap.Cuma umi tak rasa dia punya sup tu jelah.Kang order bebanyak tak habis pulak.
Kedai makannya senang nak cari, guna Waze aje. Servis pun cepat, dan suasana tempat ok, kebersihan pun di jaga. Layanan mesra pelanggan, dan tarak sombong. Harga pun tak mahal, memang berpatutan le dengan tempat makan yang ramai orang dan viral hehehe.
We had tried most of those Nyonya Kuih offered in Baba Charlie and honestly, it never fails to continuously astound in every aspect, just truly a pleasure while enjoying each one of them especially for ondeh-ondeh, Rempah Udang, Kuih Abu Sagu, and Pulut Seri Kaya, arghh still keep craving for more up till date.
Baba Charlie is an icon of Melaka that has been churning out delicious Peranakan / Nyonya kuihs since 1988. Although located further from the main city, it ...
We got a packet of the onde-onde (RM5.30 for 10 pieces)- this was our favourite of the lot as the balls were soft and bursting with gula melaka
I've been to Donald & Lily countless time, and they've never failed to disappoint me so far :) But again, taste is subjective. Try at your own risk!
Next up, we order a signature Peranakan dish called Nasi Ayam Pongtay RM11.00 featuring blue rice (pea flower) serves with mixed vegetables and a bowl of braised chicken. The blue rice is warm and fragrant, mixed vegetables deems to be quite salty where we only manage to taste the “Kicap” (soy sauce) flavor, while Ayam Pongtay for us is a pure disaster, although chicken is braised to perfection yet the taste is super-duper salty, tongue feels numb right after sipping onto the Pongtay Kuah (highly suspects is an overnights cooking result), can’t even proceed after the first scoop so we decide to raise white flag and leave it there as per it is, seriously feel like “Ketuk” the chef with a ladle and ask them dah bangun ke belum?! 😉
#melakafood #melakafood2020 #ilovemelakaDonald and Lily is a must have in every tourist to eat list. Famous for their Nyonya Laksa, Mee Siam, Taukua Rojak an...
The coverage of their menu as well as the batik table cloth still feel familiar to me from the last visit. Groups of customers came strolling into the Restaurant after we settled down.
A humble-looking eatery. It is located among shop houses right by the main road. The chef here is super awesome. Dishes here are incredibly delicious.
Squids Fried with Stink Beans & Sambal - known as petai, the stink beans are an acquired taste which intensifies as you chew them further! Personally, i quite enjoyed the petai although the bigger highlight was the nicely cooked squid that's fried with the aromatic sambal chilli!
Another delicious food in the menu that you “must try” in East & West Rendezvous are none other than their in-house Durian Mixed Cendol RM 5.50 served with shaved ice, gula Melaka syrup, durian, and red beans. We gotta admit, this cendol gives us a real good vibe right on our first try, it has a mouth-watering intense fragrant durian kick (similar like dodol durian) which goes superbly well with the local gula Melaka – sweet, mildly bitter and chilling throughout the whole dessert session, truly worth every single penny spent! 😉
-- East & West Rendezvous Cafe has the best nyonya chang in town . We ordered one nyonya chang to testing and bought more than ten pieces after that . The best nyonya chang that I’ve eaten . The glutinous rice is cooked to perfection and the spices is rich with flavorful .
Nonya Dumplings, another must try in Melaka. We were told East & West Rendezvous, just down the street from Chung Wah, was the place to go. They are all homemade, right in the shop. The blue c…
Bulldog’s food then doesn’t quite live up to the hype (except their cendol). I’m perhaps spoiled in that my wife and in-laws cook nyonya food very well, including doing vegetarian versions for me, so you might find it more exciting a culinary experience.
Reasons to visit Bulldog Malacca: cool, clean and contemporary setting; an excellent introduction to Nyonya cuisine; must must must order the Lamb Shank Keluak and Cendol.
Just 5 minutes from Ramada Plaza along the busy Jalan Bendhara, the name of this café is intriguing. Much as I anticipate, I did not see any canine of such breed around. Though disappointed, we w…
Nancy’s Kitchen is not bad an option if you are looking for a Peranakan restaurant in Melaka.
Overall, Nancy's Kitchen has a home style Peranakan Food with reasonable pricing.
Overall, it is still a recommended restaurant whenever you have the Peranakan food crave in you. Just stick with their signature food and you will avoid any disappointment. Total Damage: RM122.00 Ambiance: 3/5 Service 3/5 Food Serving Speed: Moderate Recommended?: Yes
That's why I'm all pumped to talk about a brand new restaurant in Malacca- The Kapitan Kongsi Hotel and Restaurant. Special thanks to our friend Kim Yong for taking us to this new gem of Malacca, which us, who live away from the state wouldn't have known otherwise.
Hey guys, I haven’t done a food review for a long time so here’s one! Today’s restaurant is Kapitan Kongsi restaurant which is located at the new side of Kota Laksamana in Melaka (Malaysia). In general it serves Baba Nyonya cuisine but it does serve the typical butter kaya toast in the morning.
Recently, we went to Melaka for a short makan trip. Our trip was just a 2 days trip and so, we decided to book a hotel for a night. After searching for the best hotel deals on HotelsCombined, eventually we settled for Kapitan Kongsi Hotel. It had great reviews, felt unique and fit our budget perfectly. Kapitan Kongsi Hotel is sort of like a boutique hotel with a modern built architecture inspired from the late “Straits” Eclectic style between 1910’s and 1940’s. It is strategically located in Taman Kota Laksamana Jaya which is a relatively new commercial area. Most of the shops were still vacant but that did not stop people from coming here. This charming hotel is beautifully decorated with furniture, knick knacks and posters from the 1970’s to 1990’s.
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.
Serviceable Peranakan food, tasty enough but not particularly memorable. The beef rendang was not bad, with the beef tender and rempah nice with lemongrass fragrance.
娘惹餐一般都是偏辣的， 撇开一些带辣的食物， 我们随意地点了以下大人小孩也适合吃的娘惹佳肴。
Ayam Purut (RM19) This is a must-order. The aromatic curry is delicious and rich while the chicken was cooked to the perfect doneness.
Overall, the taste of food is good and food prices are reasonable.
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.
Our favorite Nyonya appetizer - pai tee (RM5 for 5 pieces) served in a cute metal tray. Prepared to order, so the shells were wonderfully crisp and warm, filled with a moist and flavorful filling of thinly sliced vegetables and omelette, with a spicy chilli served on the side. Really tasty!
RM9.90 for each of below rice set, again !! What to complain? Just eat la !!! Look at the sambal chili.. Dont play play, it quite spicy... Delicious !! Taste of homemade !!
All in all, after 3 visits (2 with food, once for drinks) I must say I’m pleased with the overall ambience, service and food here. I’m definitely actively recommending friends and readers to Unicorn Cafe.
One of the most delicious Cendol I have tasted.
Reasons to visit Nyonya Lin’s Kitchen: authentic Peranakan cuisine; historical setting; must order Nyonya Chicken Pongteh, Sambal Sotong Petai and don’t miss the Cendol.
Marketing itself as the perfect venue for local and tourist alike to unwind with good home-cooked food, Nyonya Delights is easy to miss but worth the trouble to locate. But the good food is not much of a surprise considering that the co-owner is a seasoned chef from Seri Nyonya Restaurant at Hotel Equatorial.
這裏的娘惹糕點天然著色,無人造色素
With Chef Chee Keong back in action, I can’t wait to savour his Itik Tim, Pork Ribs Balinese and Babi Chili Garam again
