Malacca Goodies

The two food items I will never leave Malacca without them...


Gula Melaka Or Palm Sugar

Nyonya Pineapple tarts
...thought I still prefer those made by X-T's mummy! *drools*

Yong Ann Bird's Nest Shop, Malacca

We spotted a little corner shop sitting behind Christ Church, Melaka. We were curious to check out the bird's nest egg tarts.




A lady was there preparing the egg tart pastries. Since it was a hot day, we thought of resting our tired feet inside the restaurant with some desserts.




We were a little disappointed to know that those bird's nest pastries sitting on the shelf all sold out. Since we're already there, X-T and I decided to tryout some desserts from their menu.



Out of curiosity, we ordered the Yong Ann bird's nest ice-cream. You see the whitish jelly on top of the vanilla ice cream? That's bird nest. Nothing special at all...in fact, there's traces of ice inside the ice cream. That dark piece of chocolate? Mmmm... no comments!

NEXT..



X-T ordered the ginseng bird nest drink.. Trust me, it tasted like water!


FINALLY...


Honey Bird's nest drink. Well, thank goodness this one was 'drinkable'.



A spoonful of bird's nest..

Anyway, they did managed to quench our thirst that afternoon but we will only be visiting them one more time for the bird's nest egg tarts in the near future..

Ole Sayang Restaurant, Malacca

Ole Sayang is one of the top recommended Peranakan restaurant located at Taman Melaka Raya and GOODNESS me! I've been to Malacca for so many times..it's almost like once a year since the age of 6 and I've never heard of this restaurant before.. *evil grin..*

Yesterday, we drove to Muar in the morning to attend X-T's colleague's "Kenduri". After lunch, we dropped by Malacca for a few hours of site-seeing. Before leaving the historical city at night, X-T braved the traffic jam and gave me a another surprise... Yeah! .. At last, an authentic Peranakan meal after a tiring afternoon at Jonker's Walk.

I love the facade of this restaurant..


Don't play play...the minute you step into this restaurant, you'll be greeted by photos of the Seet ancestors. Remember ar..no Seet photos means you're at the wrong restaurant :0.
The interior was also decorated with old furniture. Perfect ambiance for a good Peranakan meal..

Clockwise:
Rice in pretty baskets,
Fried Kangkung with dried Shrimps,
Chicken cooked with rempah (sorry ar..I can't remember the name of this dish)
Assam Fish (two thumbs up!)

If you're there, please remember to try out their Chendol with kacang. **One of the best chendol I ever had**

P/S: I've just got to know they serve pretty good Nyoya otak-otak.. Oh well, maybe next time ;)
