Asam Pedas Claypot - Restoran Kota Laksamana 1



We had a hard time deciding which Malay restaurant we should go to for assam pedas. There are so many around, we didn't know where to start. Until we stumbled upon the mammoth crowd here...in we went. 



Kopitiam Tanka - Malacca's version of Yong Taufoo


From the neat rows of fishpaste stuffed into aubergines, deep fried beancurd puffs , shitake mushroom caps , one can guess what are the bestsellers. 
Apart from the usual offerings, they've gotten more innovative and even have crabsticks and whole scallops shells plastered with more fishpaste too. For that , you'll have to poke your head in the 2 chiller bins . Be prepared to be amazed by the variety those chiller bins contain.


Sun May Hiong


Sun May Hiong is located in a nondescript shoplot. 
They are reknowned for their pork satay which leans more towards a petite Pinchos Morunos, infused with lemongrass and turmeric . Small slivers of fat wedged between the lean give rise to a heavenly experience that get you hooked . Startlingly salty as opposed to the usual sweet satays , there is an aromatic smokey bbq flavour that will keep you coming back for more.

At Jonker Walk


Although Datuk Wira Dr Gan Boon Leong spearheaded the transformation of Jonker Walk  , the initiative would not have been made possible without the auspices of Datuk Seri Haji Mohd Ali bin Mohd Rustam .



Have you seen the LED trishaws by The Stadhuys ?


The trishaw peddlers in Malacca just keep outdoing themselves. These are rides that have now been transformed to look like mini cartoon carnival floatillas. 
Most will be blaring music while some will even tempt you with free wifi onboard ! 

Let 's take a look at some I managed to snap . 
Hello Kitty .
Instead of parasols they now sport big butterfly like flaps as shelter.
