Malacca's Food

Some good food to share from my recent Malacca trip 2 weeks ago, been really busy to post this. They're not that all to die for but great food enough to satisfy my fussy tounge and tummy. Didnt had much time this trip to get all the good food, so we'll just have to eat what ever. I know there are more food around but these are just something we discovered ourselves from our previous trips. it always easy to spot good food anywhere, just look out for long queue or non stop busy cook.

Meet Jonker Street uncle popiah. Indeed the best popiah in the world rated by $1, its even better than Penang's.

Close up shot by Hiew's camera, its perfect to me cause the skin is not too thin like most other popiah sellers. Its not soggy soaking wet with the turnip's gravy and best of all, the main secret ingredient is lard. You can opt not to have it in your but there no point without it. A teaspoon full of lard and crispy fried fat chucks.

Uncle also sells deep fried spring rolls, no lard in this but he makes it all up with his crispy home made skin. Perfect! These sells off extremely fast cause its limited, I couldnt get it this trip cause I only went there at nite.Photo courtesy from Hiew again. So remmeber if you wanna get your hand on these, get to Jonker at 6PM on weekends.





Dim Sum stall at Jonker, nothing special but good snacks to eat while walking around Jonker. Used to be MYR1 then went up to MYR1.20 and now its MYR1.50 for any 4 pieces. Forget the rest just choose the white coloured 'siew mai' on the top right corner. Thats the best, infact better than some other dim sum places I've been to.




Didnt had time for this also sigh,..... if you have a sweet tooth like me, please help yourself to this small lil bowl of diabetic chendol. Ice is very fine shaved, quite generous with the coconut milk and chendol jelly but best of all the thick 'Gula Melaka' (palm syrup) will sent you straight up to heaven. Also found at Jonker, you'll see 2 shops in the midlle of the street selling laksa and chendol. Both shop serves good chendol, Anyway its the syrup that makes me come back over and over cause they leave the syrup on the table and you just help yourselves with it as much as you can.

Recent discovery after I stumbled into some blogs while I was doing some Malacca food research. Tangkak beed noodles at Melaka Raya, awesome beef stocked brooth served with tender beef chuncks and tripe and brisket. Excellente!! Half muslim friendly place, its not certified Halal but iits doesnt server pork and there was a sign for non Halal food is prohibited in the shop. Saw some malay customers while we were eating there.
