Bulldog Malacca @Melaka, Malaysia

Posted on 19 May 2022 by lendeliz

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:

  • Nyonya Pai Tee (RM15): The shell was impressively thin and crispy and not too oily.
  • Sambal Sotong with addition of Petai (RM25 + RM4): My absolute favourite! Hubby found it too spicy so I almost had the entire dish all to myself. It was so spicy, yet so addictive that I could not stop myself.
  • Nyonya Pongteh Chicken (RM10 for small): Gravy was good, chicken was tender. Very enjoyable!
  • Fried Brinjal (RM10): Oh how could anyone make brinjal SO juicy? This was simply awesome!
  • Jasmine Fragrance Steamed Rice (RM2): We shared one rice so that we could try out more dishes, lol!
  • Nyonya Cendol (RM7): After all the various spices, this was a lovely sweet ending.

Note that there was an additional 10% service charge.

We are always on the lookout for Peranakan food whenever we are in Melaka. This place seemed a little quiet so we were initially quite apprehensive. However, after trying the Rendang Chicken, Chinchalok Omelette, Ngo Hiang and Belacan Winged Beans, we were very satisfied 🙂 [Total expense RM47.50]

Manis J Nyonya Restaurant @Melaka, Malaysia

Posted on 17 February 2019 by lendeliz

Our last stop in Malacca, and we were still quite determined to try Peranakan food 😛

Our favourite was the Assam Fish (RM50 for medium)! The fish was fresh, and the tamarind sauce had a good balance of sweet, sour and spicy 🙂 We also liked the Cili Garam Terung (RM18), which was fried eggplant in chilli gravy. Unfortunately, we found some of the braised chicken pieces in the Ayam Tempra (RM28) a bit too tough, while the Telur Cincaluk (RM18) was like a normal omelette and we could barely taste the fermented shrimps of the cincaluk.

Chendol (RM5) was the recommended dessert, and Dr K gave it thumbs-up 🙂 We had a taste of the gula melaka on its own, and thought it was pretty good.

Restoran Nancy’s Kitchen @Melaka, Malaysia

Posted on 16 February 2019 by lendeliz

IMG_1071Restoran Nancy’s Kitchen had been on our radar since our maiden trip to Malacca, but we had never quite made it there for all our previous trips. 😦

Despite reading mixed reviews about this place recently, we thought that we would still want to give it a try, and it was relatively closer to our next stop 🙂

We arrived at 5pm, and the place was rather quiet, though it was quite crowded by the time we finished our meal. And for the first time, we used Grab to travel around Melaka, haha! Continue reading →

SamFu Restaurant @Melaka, Malaysia

Posted on 12 August 2018 by lendeliz

We love trying out Peranakan food (aka Nonya food) whenever we are in Malacca 🙂

For this trip, we decided to check out SamFu Restaurant in Mimosa Hotel. Ms K’s dad joined us for dinner too 🙂 We were glad that we had made reservations a day in advance, for the restaurant was packed with customers during dinner time.

PeraMakan @Keppel Club

Posted on 5 September 2016 by lendeliz

2016-09-05-12-49-45Keppel Club certainly brought back much memories for us 🙂

From VivoCity, we took a 30-minute stroll into Keppel Club… It was a fairly long walk in!

Since we had already tried Peony Jade a couple of times before, we wanted to check out PeraMakan this time.

Being a Monday, it was a really quiet day, and we had seats by the windows.

We enjoyed each dish, and like that the flavours were very balanced, without being overly spicy or sweet. We also liked the crackers that was served as appetiser.

​Candlenut @Dorsett Residences

Posted on 25 July 2016 by lendeliz

2016-07-25 20.33.14Yet another day ended with a late meeting nearby, and hubby went to la kopi at Roosevelt’s Diner  Bar while waiting for me. While I could find the correct MRT exit to Dorsett Hotel, I couldn’t find the cafe.. *faintz*

So hubby came to look for me, and Candlenut, who has just won a star in 2016 Michelin Guide Singapore, was just right there! There appeared to be some available seats close to 8.30pm, so we decided to try our luck and walked in without reservations 🙂

They were serving a unique Peranakan tasting ‘ah-ma-kase’ menu of inspired Peranakan cuisine at $68++ per pax, with a choice for dessert out of 5 options. We were not fans of sweet desserts, and I did not particularly like kuehs, so it was tough to choose!

Malacca 2015 Day 2

Posted on 10 October 2015 by lendeliz

2015-10-10 10.37.102015-10-10 11.03.15We took our time in the morning and had a late breakfast at the hotel.

After that, a slow stroll brought us to St Paul’s Hill, and A’ Famosa Fort.

We continued to stroll to the famous landmark of Melaka, Christ Church Melaka before making our way back for lunch at Restoran Nyonya Makko!

We had heard good reviews of Amy Heritage Nyonya Cuisine which is just behind Hatten Hotel but we were not able to get reservations (it’s very very popular!). So we settled for Makko which is also near the hotel and we had been here 5 years ago.
