We checked out of the hotel at around 10am. I was looking forward to having breakfast at The Dutch Harbour Cafe along the historic red-coloured shophouses but it was closed. Bummer. We ended up at the only cafe that was opened along this stretch. Forgot the name though.
We sat at the back of the cafe, facing the river.
I like the wooden signages in front of the cafe
Hubs ordered American Breakfast (again) while I got the Nonya Curry Mee. Guess what? There was no meat in the curry. Just lots of vege and this is the first time I have eaten curry noodle with broccoli 😀 Pretty yummy though.
After that, we went to Heeren Street again, looking for Donald & Lily Cafe as we wanted to try their famous chendol. However, we couldn’t find it and we were caught in the rain. We waited for the rain to stop and went to meet the blogger mom I was talking about earlier. Wanna know who she is?
She is none other than dear Annie. She arrived on Sunday evening and we met her and her family for a while at a restaurant in Jonker Street. Here is Ashley with Cruz and Fearles (photo taken from Annie’s blog). After chatting for a while, we went our separate ways. It was almost 2pm and we decided to have lunch before we make our way back to KL.
We had lunch at Taragon by the river. This is a bistro/restaurant which serve Nonya and Western food.
Spaghetti for Ashley
Cincalok omelette. This is hubs favorite and it is really yummy
Nonya Curry Chicken. My favourite!
Terung bakar. Something different for us. Are brinjals very famous in Nonya cuisine? I see a lot of them in the menus.
Well, that’s about all on our Malacca trip. We will definitely be back again.
Wow, the food looks great leh!!
I love brinjals/eggplants too! All the food is so delicious! Calvin was beside me, he also said “wow”
Umm… I wonder if there is any longkang smell or not at the river? The dishes look real good! Especially the curry!!! *yums*
there was a slight “river” smell but it was tolerable. Not as bad as longkang smell 😀
the food definitely looks appetizing, Barb.. if got chance, i will look for this bistro…
All your Nyonya food photos really make me hungry. Don’t la! I am my diet plan now.
the food looks so good. Do you know that Ipoh also has these stretch of cafe and food outlets facing the kinta river? just besides the st michaels school but havent been there though..probably not as clean as this place..thinking that kinta river is not that clean afterall..plus the smell!
Hey WF, can you believe it that I’ve been to this place before? It was during last year’s CNY with my relatives. The lighting was pretty bad and not many restaurants there. If only more effort is put into developing the Kinta river, then I am sure it will look like the Melaka one.
Barb, you all so pandai cari makan. 🙂 First time I see curry mee prepared this way..hehe. Nice trip!
Hi WH, just want to let you know that you have received an award from me..you deserved that and also your assistance on blogging. Check out my blog on the ‘award’ posting.
alo…coming to here 1st time thru annie’s blog
You have a lovely blog here 😀
thank you 🙂
I’m salivating over the Nyonya food. Yes, terungs are very common to find in their cuisine 🙂
It’s almost lunch now and you’re tempting me with those delicious food. Argghh!!
Brocolli in curry mee….that is a first. But glad it tasted good anyway! last time i tried the cendol so many ppl. it was more stress than relax in that bowl of cendol. But i guess that’s what is in a holiday.
the cincalok omelette looks so interesting…. i wonder if we could cook that at home…buying those bottled ones from supermarket and goreng w telur.. u wanna try ? 🙂
Ashley looks so innocent with her 2 boyfriends.. “good things comes in small packages”.. hehehe cute !
hmmm…i don’t think it will be good unless you can find really good cincalok 🙂 actually i couldn’t taste much cincalok in the omelette. maybe they only put a lil bit?
hey these nyonya foods surely looked more appetizing than the chic rice balls lar….
i’ve not try cincalok dishes before…wonder how it tastes lar. that curry noodle indeed looks weird ler…luckily u liked it 😀
So many types of yummy food! I’m attracted to the vegetarian curry mee… very ngam me cos I don’t eat meat 🙂
oh now i know which restaurant to check out the next time im back to malacca! hahahaha! orang melaka tak pernah makan there also, shame shame on me 🙂
Brocolli in curry mee seems such a weird combination!
Did you like the hotel? My membership expired already but we pretty much utilised most of the vouchers.
yes it was pretty weird to have brocolli in my curry 🙂 oh yeah…we love the hotel. the room was huge. i didn’t get the voucher but my dad did and he didn’t utilize all of them…expiring end of this month. i am still thinking if i should get them and share with my sister 😀
Loved the picture of Taragon, must go there on the next trip to Melaka! Hmm, the omelette, nyonya curry chicken and terung bakar look delicious! My saliva flowing now…….
wow..wow…the place you went so unique and nice! We got no time to look around and it rain whole day. 🙁
Next round if i am in Melaka again, i want to go and look for this type of cafe, i like!
Awesome spread of nyonya cuisine, I’m tempted to visit Malacca now!^-^
Hmmm…looks like I will bugs my Hubby for our next vacation to go to Melaka ya….Great to hear that you’ve enjoy your trip…Cheers
