Last Minute Suggestions Needed

by bkoon Online Now Oct 24, 2003 at 12:35 AM

Hi! I just booked a room at the Hotel Puri and am now planning a last minute weekend trip with my sister who deperately needs to unwind. Although I've been to Malacca for a few times, would still need some suggestions. Hence, my questions are : - The best Chicken Rice Ball - The best Dim Sum Restaurant - The best Nonya Restaurant - The best local desserts (My sis loves the Baba Chendol) - The best thing to do at night, after dinner. Pasar Malam at Jonker's good? - Not so "ordinary" places of interest? Looking forward to your reponses. Thank you very much. Regards, Bee :)

    Best C/riceball ? I personally recommend the one just after the bridge to Bandar Hilir, Chong Hwa is the name I think. No idea about Dim Sum, why DS ? Melaka is not famous for that !! Nonya Rest ....hm...there is one along somewhere in Bandar hilir again.....man I forgot the name...try looking out the street right ahead of the same bridge I mentioned it should be on your left. Very authentic in a typical old building. Local desert ? you like durian ? the local durian chendol is a killer, I never miss that every time I visit Melaka ! Things to do at night ? no comment.....have a beer at any outdoor cafe. enjoy your trip to the ancient town....cheers ! tk

    Hi Bee, Here are some recommendations after my last visit to Melaka : Baba Chendol : shop on Jonker's called Jonker's Dessert, also v.v. good Durian Chendol (don't bother going to Tan Kim Hock, this one is the real deal) Chicken Rice Ball : either No.7 Jonkers or the Corner Coffee Shop (with carts selling jam tarts outside) Nyonya Restaurant : There are a few along Jonker's including one called Jonker's Melaka. Havent tried it tho. Most ppl talk about Dondang Sayang or Seri Nyonya in Equatorial Hotel Melaka. Jonker's is quite nice to walk around both during the day and night but i find a lot of the prices very inflated...melaka is getting a little too touristy and commercial now, i guess. pity. hope this helps :) selina

    Nyonya food: Jonkers Melaka is great but only open until 4:30pm so no good for the evening. Another place is Restoran Nyonya Makko. The address is 123 Taman Melaka Raya, Phone 06-2840737. It's slogan is "The Best Nyonya Food In Town". Until I've tried every Nyonya restaurant in town I won't know but it was pretty good! I am now a Nyonya addict.
