Melaka Delights

Recommended as an alternative to Nancy's Kitchen's queues. The Tok Panjang set did deliver a huge variety and sufficient quantity (Set for 10 feeding 14 folks. I felt the overall dinner was rather bland on the palate. Stick to Makko or Nancy's if you prefer a stronger twang to your food

My personal favourite at this joint. Well-flavoured and the gravy is so jelat-ly good. You can also order the rendang chicken as an ala-carte item to eat with the other dishes such as the laksa etc..

Yummehz.. Durian flavoured, Gula Melaka and ice shavings with red beans and chendol strings

Udang assam nanas, Lor Bak, chincalok egg and potato leaves in belachan. Yummeh

Supposedly the authentic chicken rice balls. It was fantastic.. Until i ate the chicken rice balls at my hotel's breakfast buffet. Tasted similar and the balls were warm.. Try if you must for the experience. Beware, the queue is at least 30mins.

The type of springy noodles laden with lard and onion oil. Nondescript dark looking kopitiams serve the best food.

Banana flower cooked in coconut milk and a dash of chilli and dried shrimps. Jantung is truly one of the most unique flavours in the region. The usual flavours and styles are all there, buah keluah, asam pedas and more

Had to try how this chain compares to Chung Wah. The rice balls were bland and dry and the chilli lacked the "kick" which we are used too. The chicken was slightly overcooked and tough. The charsiew was best amongst the pick, on the sweet side with fatty cuts. I stick to Chung Wah, the queue is there for a reason

Basically sticks and sticks of food cooked in satay sauce. At RM$1/stick. Its a steal. The seafood is fresh and if you are game, go for the udang besar (big prawns @RM$6.50each).

Another typical nondescript shophouse until you realise people come and buy bakzhang (dumplings) in bulk. Made in batches throughout the day, do make advance orders for these nonya zhang. Good mix of pork and chestnuts in the dumpling and well infused with the mushroom flavour. Not forgeting the chendol which contained one of the best pure gula melaka tasted in this foodie trip
