Det Station Restaurant

Business Hour They are opened all day, from breakfast until really late; about 3 am.

At the end of the meal, we felt satisfied knowing that between the two of us, we spent less than RM15.00 on the food and drinks, got satiated from the fragrant coconut milk-cooked rice, and now I found an alternative to the perpetually-packed Village Park.

Business Hour Daily, 5pm-12.30am

The coffee here is thick and miles better than their milk tea. So choose wisely.

The Good Batch - Purveyors of all the good things in life.

One thing’s for sure though. This cafe invasion will NOT cease until well, the next wave of food craze envelopes us within its reach.

Fresh prawns and fish at reasonable price. The village chicken is also not too bad. Friendly staff too.

Obviously you cannot miss their signature Chili Fish if you are here.

Nam Chuan Coffee Shop 南泉茶餐室

Cuisines Sarawak Chinese
Business Hour Opens for breakfast and lunch only, closed on certain Wednesdays

The Sarawak laksa served here is a family recipe, and that many of her ingredients are flown in from Sarawak. I believe this laksa is the coconut-less variety, but what make it special is the flavour which is fragrant yet isn't too hot. The garnishing done by this Aunty is truly special, 'hotel quality'

A perfect start to a Sunday morning should be a hearty breakfast; coupled with a cup of really good coffee or tea, and lots of natural sun to perk the mood up.

Business Hour Opens from 11 am onwards, until about 2.30 pm everyday

The safest choice is, of course, the chicken rice (duh!). If you’re sharing, then ask for a plate of yin yang aka half portion of roasted chicken paired with another half portion of poached chicken.

Business Hour 12pm – 3pm, 6pm – 10pm Closed on Mondays

If you have not heard or tried Dak Galbi before, this will be a good time to introduce your taste bud to the killer taste of gochujang-marinated chicken with melted cheese, rice cakes, cabbage, sweet potatoes and scallions.

Business Hour Opens from 11.30 am - 2.30 pm, 6.00 pm – 9.30 pm. Closed on Mondays

One of the best nyonya dishes in Melaka. Call 06-2868819 to book in advance!

By the time we finished our meal, the place was already packed to the brim. One point to note though; allocate enough time for the cooking and don’t come when you’re half crawling on the floors; all famished and weak. But if you are ready for a memorable Nyonya feast, then Amy Heritage Nyonya Cuisine may just be your preferred choice too.

Restoran Ikan Air Tawar Chai Chee

Top 50 Restaurants in Perak
Cuisines Chinese Seafood
Business Hour Opens from 12 pm – 10 pm. Closed on alternate Thursdays.

The meal came to almost MYR120/USD40 for the 3 of us; a premium price to pay for ‘chu char’ in Ipoh no doubt, but most of the amount was contributed by the fish (MYR72/USD24). Still, this should be a place to look out for; especially if you’re craving for a dish of steamed pak sook gong or Sultan fish.

Cuisines Nyonya

Fourth Generation of Nyonya Kuih Makers in Melaka

The apam balik was another winner, but definitely not a very productive venture since the time taken to “jaga api” (carefully watching over the stove fire) was beyond what was needed for ordinary kuih. Soft, fluffy and infused with the right balance of coconut milk and gula Melaka, the folded-in-half pieces of golden brown delights were satisfying.

The Pai Tee (top hats) consisting of crispy mould filled with chopped jicama, julienned cucumber and omelette strips was executed well, though we had a slightly better version a day before at Amy’s Heritage Nyonya Cuisine.

I guess that key selling point that lure the loyalists in time and again is the smooth rice noodles, gorgeously and generously studded with dried shrimps, and his own concoction of sauces and pickled green chillies.

Business Hour The curry mee stall also sell chicken rice for lunch, and opens from breakfast until late afternoon only

For me, this was still a far cry from Nam Chau, Xin Quan Fang or Yee Fatt; still the trio of magnificent curry mee stalls from Ipoh for me.
