After a rather successful test-water half day trip to Johor Bahru, we decided to go ahead with our road trip that was supposed to be done before COVID-19 hit us.
As we have only 1 driver among the 3 of us, we decided to take it easy by having multiple breaks.
Our itinerary for the 4D3N trip:
Batu Pahat
An interesting store filled with antiques and old books, the space was rather lovely. The Green Juice (RM10) was very refreshing, but the Latte (RM10) was more like local coffee.
| Vintage Green Cafe @ The Daughter: Location: 13, Jln. Bunga Raya, Kampung Jawa, 75200 Melaka, Malaysia [Google Maps] Website: thedaughter.business.site Hours: 10am – 5pm (Thu-Tue) |
We are always on the hunt for yummy dim sum 🙂
Other than waiting for the staff to bring the dim sum selection for us to choose, we also went to the counter to place order for some of the items.
Lots of variety to choose from here and generally pretty affordable and delicious. Cost RM49.50 for 3 pax.
| Kedai Makanan dan Minuman GW 点心世界: Location: 344, Taman Melaka Baru, 75350 Batu Berendam, Melaka, Malaysia [Google Maps] Hours: 6.30am – 12.30pm (Thu-Tue) |
We were very happy to find a new place to try out Peranakan food! Prior reservations were required as walk-in were discouraged, and we also placed our orders in advance, ahead of the trip. We loved the ambience here and had a great time here!
We tried the following:
Note that there was an additional 10% service charge.

We tried the Pork (RM1.10/stick), Chicken (RM1.10/stick) and Beancurd Pork Belly 南乳猪肉 (RM13.80/set). There was a minimum order of 10 sticks for the RM1.10 ones, and an additional RM1 for cucumber and onions.
The meats were well-marinated, and the chicken was rather juicy despite looking quite lean. The beancurd pork belly was da-bomb!
The pineapple puree gave the satay sauce a refreshing twist. Very enjoyable 🙂

We saw the coconut shake at Batu Berendam quite a few times during our research for the trip and figured that we should give it a try! We had the Coconut Shake Special (RM4.50) which came with a scoop of ice cream blended in. It was a bit too sweet for us.
We also tried the Kuih Keria (RM0.60/piece) and we gotta say we were delightfully surprised by this little sweet treat! It was lightly crispy and full of bits of sweet potato inside.
| Coconut Shake Batu Berendam: Location: No.5, Tingkat Bawah, Jalan Kanan 1, Taman Ria, 75350, Melaka, Malaysia [Google Maps] Website: coconutshakemelaka.com [Facebook (in Malay)] Hours: 9:30am – 10:30pm (Mon-Sat), 9:30am – 8pm (Sun) |
| Kuih Keria Gula Melaka: Location: 142, Kampung Sungai Putat, 75350, Melaka, Malaysia Google Maps] Hours: 11am – 7pm |
The highlight were definitely the cakes! In particular, we enjoyed the Tofu Cheesecake very much as it was quite light and not overly sweet. The Salted Caramel Cake had bailey’s in it, and was a combination of sweet, salty and bitterness from the alcohol. Drinks wise, the Galaxis tasted a bit like Ribena with lemon, while the Lattes were slightly more milky. [Total expense RM64.70]

This is the last day of our trip, but still so many foods to try! We decided to try another 鱼饺面 at Restaurant Wong Soh Siew but again, there was no fish dumpling that we were used to seeing in Singapore… by now, we were beginning to think that there were some definition differences, haha!
We ordered the dry version with a mixture of yellow noodles and kway tiao, simple but good! We enjoyed the fish balls too 🙂 [Total expense RM5]
A quick Google, and found this explanation here: 鱼饺 (yu2 jiao3) is actually 鱼鲛 (also yu2 jiao3), which meant fish paste, hence, 鱼饺面 is typically a noodles dish served with fish balls and fish cakes, as both items were made of fish paste. Mystery solved 😀

Another of our favourite foods when visiting Melaka would be satay celup. We recalled visiting here during our maiden trip to Melaka together, and thought to re-visit this place. It was fun dipping into the think satay sauce to cook our food and we enjoyed the variety of skewers available here.
