    It's a Chinese Resto, with specialized in rice ball, Hainan chicken and roast duck. Plus several traditional and modern drinks, like jelly grass, sugar cane and lemonade.

    There's 4 types of steam rice served here. Original steamed, steamed with flavor [salty] called Hainan rice, Hainan rice made like ball [called rice ball] and dark brown rice ball [maybe using different type of rice].

    I prefer the Hainan rice ball which seems so compact and fit with my chopstick. Then undebatable roast duck and steam chicken. Both of them are crispy and delicious. Added with veggie, cucumber and light soup as assortments.

    We drove out of A'famosa Resort to have our dinner. We drove to Tamping which is 4 km from the resort.

    We had chinese food and after a whole day walking in Melaka and swimming at the pool in A'famosa we were starving. The food was delicious and the service was fast even for a small town.

    We had pork cooked with yam, drunken prawns, Sizzling tofu, Asparagus and Frog legs.

    I have eaten Chicken rice in many places and only in Melaka they made it in this special style. The rice is made into balls and serve with chicken roasted or steam, roasted pork and a side dish of vegetables.

    The restaurant was decorated with chinese lanterns, photos, and tablets with calligraphy. The dishes we ordered were very flavorful and the price was impressively low for such a good meal. The staff/owner were also very friendly and even insisted that she take our picture for us (instead of me) so I could be included in the group's photograph.

    We ordered chicken rice balls (RM 4), Vegetables (RM 3), Chicken (RM 14) ...i think it was steamed, and chinese tea (RM 5)

    Malacca is well-known for its Nyonya cuisine & chicken rice-ball. Not many folks knew that Malacca is the origin of the flavoured rice-ball. These rice-balls, about the size of golf balls are taken with boiled chicken flavoured with sauce and sesame oil. The rice itself is best taken with pounded chilli-sauce.
    Famosa chicken rice-ball restaurant specialises in serving these tantalising and mouth-watering rice-balls. Using traditional Hainanese chicken rice recipe, these delicious rich-balls are served with the tender and juicy chicken meat from Bukit Mertajam, which is well-known for its free-range chicken. The chicken meat is as tender as the "kampung chicken" normally found free-roaming in villages.

    This is a Chinese restaurant, very popular with visiting Singaporeans and Malaysians from outside Melaka. Although we did see some locals there. It is very good place to eat but the place is so darn small, reservations is highlly recommended. But the food may not be too palatable to less adventourous tourist as Chinese food to non Chinese are usually Cantonese version. This is Teo Chew version which I do enjoy a lot.,

    The restaurant is not at upmarket looking - you enter from the fron which is where the cooking is done !!!! It has only 8-10 tables depending which tables u include!!! As soon as you are seated a very pleasant elderly man will come and ask you to go to a corner where there is stacks of vegetavles - look closely there is prawns, of many sizes, scallops, sea cucumber, soft shell crab etc....and they have fish and not displayed. They do not tell you or ask you how it would be done = you just pick the type of seafood, or meat you want and your dinner is a big surprise!!!

    Update - been going back there for umpteen times... must make reservations becos it cn be terribly busy.

    I have tried soft shell crab - fried till ultra crisp - eaten with some maltose taste sauce, amd then we had scallops with ginger and shallots but the scallops a bit overcooked, we had steamed pomfret fish teo chew style which was excellent, and also had taufoo with veges in it.

    If you like noodles, then have the thick black noddles garnished with oysters on top, and some other dishes with pork looks so so good. next time we said.

    For dessert it was steamed yam paste with steamed pumkin and gingko nuts - not to foreigners who may think it is baby food - but we all loved it!!!

    Chinese food: A Taste of Home Cooking

  • General:
    The restaurant is probably one of the more famous ones in Melaka and is frequented by both local and foreigners. Despite it being a weekday it was full in no time. However visitors need not worry as there is space aplenty. It is huge restaurant and they have taken 3 shoplots on the ground and 1st floor. I heard they will be moving to a new premise soon.

    Food:
    The food was great and preety close to home cooking. Salt content was good and no use of MSG (from experience did not fell excessively thirsty after the meal).

    Service:
    Service was fast and due credit should be given to the owners/management. A waiter was ready to take our order a few minutes after we were seated. And in 10 mins or so the 5 dishes we ordered had all arrived piping hot ready to be enjoyed.

    Parking:
    Parking might be a problem especially on weekends as the space in front of the restaurant gets full preety quick.

    The braised pork ribs served with soft steamed bun is a must try. Succulent and tender pieces of meat that you need to stuff into a steam bun is simply heavenly. Not for those who are watching their cholesterol levels.

  • Chicken rice is common in Malaysia. But have you tried eating the rice shaped in balls? Yup, that's the way they eat here in Malacca. The taste is pretty much the same as other parts of Malaysia, but the rice balls are the specialty here.
