Malacca Trip - Nyonya Food

One of the local cuisines in Malacca is Nyonya Food. I guest the main reason we love Nyonya food is because we are quarter of Peranakan descendant. Sadly, after grandma pass away there is no one in the family able to cook a good Nyonya dishes.And I miss those chinese new years where great grandma still around. All kinds of Nyonya dishes were serve on dining table and as a respect to great grandma, we could only speak Hokkien and Malay in grandma house.

I will said the best home cook Nyonya food in Malacca can be found in Donald & Lily's Corner.

Malacca Trip

Though this is my "N" times to Malacca, it was our first time to visit Malacca as a family. From Georgetown to Malacca, it roughly took about 6 hours drive. Since we have three person, 2 hours drive for each person make the journey "shorter" and not too tiring.

Malacca Chicken Rice Ball

Right after arrival at Malacca town, we had our longing chicken rice ball in Hoe Kee restaurant. There are three famous chicken rice ball restaurant in Jonker walk. Hoe Kee is the best among all.

Hainanese Chicken- Frankly,taste like mom's cook. The texture of chicken is smooth, thick but gentle. 

Rice Ball-This is what made the Melaka chicken rice so unique

Assam Curry Fish Head - not too thick nor watery curry, just nice.
