Hey peeps, this is the last installment of our recent trip to Malacca. We stayed at the charming Hotel Puri again. This time I asked for a room on the ground floor (no need to climb up the stairs). Our room overlooks the little garden. It was really nice. Sorry, didn’t take a photo of the room.
This is the open courtyard where we had our breakfast. The stay comes with complimentary breakfast for 2. No charge for Ashley too.
We managed to check out the popular Donald and Lily cafe during this trip. They are famous for Nyonya food and is located @ Jalan Hang Jebat.

We had Nyonya Curry Laksa
Mee Siam
Nyonya Rojak which consists of mainly fish balls, fish cakes and tofu. Pretty interesting dish. This is the only food available that Ashley could eat that day. Everything else was sold out when we reached there at around 2 pm. Overall, I find the food was ok only, nothing spectacular. Probably it is because the whole place was crowded and I didn’t feel too comfortable eating there. We also had to finish our food real fast as the sky was really dark and we did not want to be caught in the rain.
Later in the evening, we walked along Jonker Street to check out the Night Market. To our surprised, we saw a Caucasian man selling food at the market. According to the placards he put on the stall, this man is a chef from Montana. He was selling pasta and burgers. Business was good as many people were crowding around him, waiting for their orders. Ashley wanted Mac & Cheese so we ordered one from him. It was delish. I wanted to find out more about why he’s there but he was very busy so we left.
Last but not least, we got to drink this nice Chilled Coffee from Lao Qian Cafe, inside the Shan Shu Gong shop. The glass is freeze with crushed ice inside. Freshly brewed milk coffee is poured into the glass when order is placed.
Wow, drooling at the food already!!
I always love Nyonya food, especially the laksa, rojak and kuih.
Barb, have you tried Nancy’s Kitchen? I blogged about it sometime last year. I miss Lao Qian Cafe and the all the good food there.. gotta plan a trip to Melaka soon..
