Anyone tried the new Swiss Gdn Hotel. Looks quite ok but a distant away from Jonker.

 

Notice this newly open hotel..

Anyone stay here before? Any feedback?

Here are some of the info I can find of the places I eat when I am in Melaka. Most of them are within 5 minute drive (without the awesome jams) from Jonker. I would normally try to stay within walking distant of Jonker so I can avoid driving as much as possible during the weekends.

 

1. Teo Soon Loong Chan (Bear Rating: 4.721/5)

My favorite in Melaka since 1997. Small family run restaurant. Make sure you make your reservation and be on time. Must try Oyster Noodles, Oh-Nee. Roast Pig must be ordered in-advanced. They sell their chilli at RM7 per box. Our Ex-PM Mr. Goh was there when he visited Melaka. J Don’t forget to say “Hello” to Uncle Tan. If he is in a good mood, he will introduce to you the daily specials beside the open freezer.

Update: Jan 2015. They are shifting to a new place near Restaurant New Lagoon. Will open on 1st March 2015.

 

2. Restoran Bei Zhan (Bear Rating 4.1255/5)

Tucked in the corner of Jln Kota Laksamana. This restaurant is a gem of simple culinary excellence. Nice food & service at reasonable price. The house fried kuey teow is delicious. Tried the Assam Fish Head.

 

3. LIM KEE RESTAURANT (Bak Kut Teh). Jalan Laksamana Cheng Ho, 75000 Melaka, Malacca, Malaysia. +60 16-644 5555 (Bear Rating 3.9128/5)

Located beside Tan Kim Hock HQ store (ask around, the locals will know) in a zinc roofed shed. Old styled black claypot BKT. BKT is Malaysia style with everything in a pot including spare-parts. Prepare to sweat it out on a warm day.

 

3A. Teo Chew Bak Kut Teh. Jalan Melaka Raya 4, Opposite IRIS Hotel (The address Melaka Raya 20 on Trip advisor is wrong) Rating 4.05/5

I stayed at Hatten and was too lazy to drive over to Lim Kee in the morning. So followed Trip advisor's lead and checked out the "best" BKT in Melaka. A 10 minutes walk from Hatten. The BKT's herbal taste is lighter than Lim Kee but still the black type. The pig throttles were excellent to go with the yam rice. Perfect comfort food at 8am in Melaka. Why can't we have the same BKT in SGP?

 

4. ‎ Fat Lee Restoran aka 肥李 (Crabs glorious crab, Bear Rating 4.3428/5)

Refer to someone's blog: http://4-the-love-of-food.blogspot.com/201...-in-melaka.html

Nice but quite pricey. RM200 for 2 big crabs. Even so, still substantially cheaper than what you pay for in Singapore. If there are not enough stomach for a meal, the alternative is to Dabao aka take-away and eat in the comfort of your hotel room later the night. (PS The opposite supermarket sells beer) and remember to bring your own kiapster if you intend to dabao back to room.

 

5. Chicken Rice Ball - Chung Wah (Bear Rating 4.201/5, Super long queue and hot)

6. Popiah - In front of Mdm King's emporium (Bring plenty of tissue) (Bear Rating 4.0007/5)

7. Fried Oyster - Near Mdm King (Alley along the same road) (Bear Rating: Haven’t tried, no enough stomach)

http://www.tourism-melaka.com/BungaRaya.html

 

8. Kong Hoe Coffee Shop, 70 Jln Bunga Raya. Char Siew and Sio Bak (Bear Rating 3.6 to 4.1/5, depends on which one you choose)

Same street as Madam King. Small alleyway with a few stalls selling the same. Great taste, great price.

 

9. Nonya - If you really insist

Nancy Restaurant - Never tried but it is one of the more famous ones. Must reserve, over-rated, I heard.

Ole Sayang - Not too bad but normally I skip becoz too many other things to eat but some of my friends really like it. Maybe I am not too into Nonya food. Rather expensive too. http://eatinout.blogspot.com/2006/10/ole-sayang-melaka.html
