    Local food: Unbelievable Tastes
  • Tip Rating:
  • Malacca has a splendid array of delicious food available at restaurants as well as at street stalls and coffee-shops. Malay, Chinese and Indian dishes can be found along Jalan Taman, bandar Hilir and Jalan Merdeka which the locals call ` The Gluttons Corner`. We stopped at a hotel resort - can't remember the name - but the buffet was superb.

    Local food: Great Authentic Baba Nyonya Food
  • Tip Rating:
  • This shop is family run and has quite a nice atmosphere as it tries to make use of traditional Baba Nyonya elements in the shop. Local delicacies such as belacan, cincalok, and alot of others can be found here.

    Ikan Cili Garam (Transalated loosely as Chilli Salt Fish, although its not salted fish, but fresh fish fried and topped with chilli)

    Fried Rice (This happens to be my favourite dish in most places)

    Fried Squid and Prawns (I love seafood)

    Try the other local delicacies. The lady of the shop will guide you through all the dishes. They speak good english.

    Local food: What to eat in Malacca
    Malacca is also abt FOOD! The Chendol here with Gula Melaka absolutely ROCKS (go for the original, not the new-fangled durian stuff)!! So do the pineapple tarts freshly baked =) Frankly I think the famous famosa chicken rice balls are over-rated but not over-priced. The restaurant is amazingly beautiful so that alone makes it worth the visit. Some people may want to kill me but I think the nonya and Portuguese food here is also over-rated. While I love the belachan its more sour than spicy; the Portuguese hot devil curry while spicier than the belachan didnt exactly burn me up.

    My fav dish is the Chendol. 2 reasons why its so good.

    1) the coconut is fresh and permeates the whole dessert. Beware: some places use preserved coconut for their chendol which doesn't taste as good.

    2) the gula melaka (melaka is the old name for malacca)

    Another chicken tice old-timer. Chung Wah still has a couple of old marble-top tables and chairs. The rice balls are shaped while piping hot. Tastewise, the rice is rather salty and bit mushy. It hasbeen said that the rice is better then Hoe Kee's.

    Other than chicken rice balls, Melaka is also popular for its satay celup. It's a kind of skewered meat or other ingredients dipped and cooked in peanuts gravy. The secret is in the peanuts gravy which has other ingredients like ginger, lemongrass, etc. The sauce is a bit spicy.

    They are many variety of food here, ranging from vegetables, prawns, fish balls, meat balls, crab fillet and so on.

    There's a few satay celup restaurants along this road. The middle shop supposedly to be the most crowded one. Opens from 5:30pm to 12:30am.

    50 cents per stick. You may also chose the ingredients from fridge.
