  • Nyonya Laksa and Malacca Cendol in Jonker88, Malacca

    Nyonya Laksa and Malacca Cendol in Jonker88, Malacca

    Today I want to introduce a must visit cafe/restaurant along the famous Jonker Walk in Malacca. It doesn’t sell chicken rice ball but does have a wide variety of local street food like assam laksa, nyonya laksa, siam laksa, cendol, curry mee and more, all under one roof. Some might thing, it’s so not authentic when it comes all under one roof but actually the food are cook by different stalls inside this Jonker 88 Cafe.

    It’s full of people from afternoon till night and I came by here twice, once was to try the laksa and another time to try the cendol as recommended by Internet people.

    The interior is pretty nice as there’s many hanging pictures and antique stuff in it, thought one lousy thing is not clean, we spotted a rat ran over the place, that’s pretty crazy I feel. Without bothering the dirtyness, we just eat and go, didn’t wnat to spend long time at there as many were still waiting for the places.

    The cendol is only RM2 and it’s very sweet, very nice and portion pretty big. What’s different from the one at the Clock Tower’s is this one is not so waterish as that, it’s more icy and the gula melaka is pour on top of the ice instead of the bottom. Yet, it’s still a good eat.

    Next up we’ve got the Nyonya Laksa. I thought Nyonya Laksa is like Siam Laksa which has lemak (coconut milk) in it but it’s differnt, it’s close to assam laksa because of the sour taste and there’s egg, fu chok and some vegetable. What’s different is there’s no prawn paste like there’s in assam laksa.

    Another thing is I think the Siam Laksa at here is pretty good-sell because that it had sold out when we wanted to order it. So we tried Nyonya, and not a bad try. Can try. Maybe you will like it. =)

    One more thing, I am curious about the taste of assam laksa at there as now I am pretty confuse where is the origin of assam laksa, Penang or other place? Haha.

    Ignore me. =D

  • Ban Lee Siang Satay Celup for Supper

    Ban Lee Siang Satay Celup for Supper

    Satay Celup is the lok-lok of Malacca! How can you not eat Satay Celup when visit to Malacca? Haha. Basically Satay Celup is actually raw food on stick, then to be dipped into a kind of peanut satay sauce to cook the food. It’s like lok-lok which you cook your own stick food, just not dipping into boiling water. At this moment, I only find this Satay Celup in Malacca, and not anywhere else.

    The one I visited when I was in Malacca was Ban Lee Siang. One of the two famous one, another is the Capitol which always has a long queue in front of the shop. Since Ban Lee Siang is near to where I stayed, so we went there on foot from Jonker Walk.

    The price for per stick is RM0.60 flat rate but when you see it’s so cheap, you tend to take more and then turn out many money. And the food on stick is kinda little, so you need more to fill the stomach.

    I actually pretty full after having my street food hunting on Jonker Walk so I didn’t eat much, just want to try the Satay Celup feel. Everything was fun, I like the way of dipping food into the peanut sauce, but then it lack of my favourite, si hum cockles. Haha. If there’s cockles, then it will be damn awesome. Hopefully there’s Satay Celup around Penang or KL, with cheap price of course. =D

  • Famous Hoe Kee Chicken Rice Ball at Jonker Walk

    Famous Hoe Kee Chicken Rice Ball at Jonker Walk

    Now I want to talk about one of the super famous chicken rice ball in Malacca’s Jonker Walk which is the Hoe Kee Chicken Rice Ball.

    It’s actually located near the head of the Jonker Walk on the row of heritage shop. There’s two famous one, one is Chung Wah and another is this Hoe Kee. I always see so many people queing for these two but I went in this Hoe Kee because of the cleaness and the nice look.

    As usual, we queued up outside the restaurant and the lady came and take order for us first, once there’s a table, we can go in. I ordered a standard set with an extra cabbage vegetable.

    Here’s the rice balls came and indeed is better than the previous one and taste good too. The black sauce is actually thick black soy sauce that they put on the table. Quite nice eating with the sauce.

    Then the cabbage is just normal cabbage, nothing special. Just something added into our meal.

    As for the chicken, you can see it’s not welly presented, simply placed on the the plate. Kinda dissappointed with the look but it’s still nice though. =) Unfortunately, this is a rather expensive place, one set of these cost us almost RM12. That’s pretty expensive for chicken rice.

    Check out the Chung Wah, a long queue. Internet reviews say that the chicken at there is not nice. When I see the queue, I don’t even feel like joining in under the hot sun, what do you think?

  • Nice Yam Chicken Rice Ball at Famosa Chicken Rice Ball

    Nice Yam Chicken Rice Ball at Famosa Chicken Rice Ball

    I can’t resist myself not to write another chicken rice ball post for you. Haha. After sharing the not-so-nice chicken rice ball just now, I now want to share with you a better chicken rice ball at Famosa Chicken Rice Ball, which is another place that serve the ball rice on Jonker Walk,


    Hueisean say hello! =)

    Hueisean kept telling me about some brown colour chicken rice ball which turned out to be the Yam Rice Ball, only served at this Famosa Chicken Rice Ball. This place is not as well-known as the long-time Chung Wah and Hoe Kee and just came in to business like last decade. It’s located in the middle of Jonker Walk and do attracted quite many customers.

    We were just there to try the Yam Rice Ball and surprisingly it’s quite nice despite some bad review from the Internet. Pricing is quite reasonable in my opinion, starting from RM4.50 per set. Besides chicken rice ball, they do serves many other dishes too.

    If you like yam rice, you can try out this place for the yam rice ball instead of chicken rice ball. Yum yum. There’s so many chicken rice ball shop in Malacca, why just stick to one?

  • Malacca Famous Clock Tower Cendol Near Dutch Square

    Malacca Famous Clock Tower Cendol Near Dutch Square

    Hello people. I am back, from many places! From doing assignment, from Hong Kong, from Malacca and almost everywhere, but haven’t gone back home, Penang yet. I miss Penang’s food so much, so badly. OMG.

    Today I want to talk about Malacca food because I went there 2 weeks ago. I think most people knows about the famous food in Malacca like chicken rice ball, satay celup, cendol and so on. But for me as a Penangite which also has a famous Cendol in town, it’s kinda surprise and curious for me to check out other’s famous cendol.

    Having various spelling like Chendol, Cendol, I prefrebly call it cendol. There’s actually a few place in Malacca where you can find nice icy cendol and one of which is the one that is right opposite the famous Dutch Square which is a historical site. Selling my an Indian man which attracted quite many customers. It’s a nice dessert to eat and slurp during a super hot tropical weather in Malaysia.

    The cendol, looking a little bit identical to Penang’s famous cendol, but selling at only RM1.50, it’s tasted similarly a little bit but it’s sweeter than the Penang’s, probably due to the usage of gula Melaka (Malacca Sweetener) in it. Different people have different feeling yet, I love the both feeling of Penang’s and Malacca’s. One is sweeter, and one is more to the taste of the cendol. IMO, I like Malacca’s more. =)
