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.

Though I grew up in Melaka, I only knew of this splendid restaurant after joining VT, I only have my fellow VTers to thank for. The setting of this restaurant is excellent, it brings you back to time, dining in one of the old shophouses in Hereen Street. Delicate carvings of flowers and birds adorned the waiting area of this restaurant.
I'm not a foodie nor a food critique. But all I could say is, the food taste good, if not better than my mom's in Melaka. The entire dining experience in this restaurant is quite unique in Melaka.
Note: Reservations is necesary in the weekend. Rather odd operating hours though. Mon to Sun, 11am to 4pm (close at night, no dinner for you); Sat and Sun, 6pm to 9pm.

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) Theme: Chinese/Dim SumPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveAddress: 4,6,8 Jalan Hang Jebat MelakaPhone: 06 2834751

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!!!

A normal coffee shop. The big Bao (Chinese call it "Dua Bao") is a pork-filled bun, which is quite tasty and filling. Also try the Aluminum foil-wrapped herbal chicken meat and glutinous rice with chicken meat topping ( CHinese call it "Lor Mai Gai"). Theme: Chinese/Dim SumPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageDirections: Not sure the name of the road, but it at by the road parallel to Jonker Street. Also keep a lookout for Kampung Kling Mosque. The coffee shop is just opposite the mosque.

The steamed chciken was okay. And the rice are molded into tiny balls. So you need many balls to fill your stomach.
Overall experience was not bad. Theme: Chinese/Dim SumPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageDirections: From the Christ Church Melaka, cross the main road via the zebra crossing. Next cross the bridge and walk straight. In abt 100m, you will see the shop (See photo of the shop).

Something a tourist like will do it whenever you are in Melaka, rice rolls into a ball....!!! quite interesting. But the chicken is not that good anymore. The Assam Fish is quite good as well.
