We used to go up tp Malacca at least 2 or 3 times a year but we haven't been there for two years now due to this and that.

 

What's the situation with new restaurants there.

 

Any good ones and have the existing got any better??

 

Thanks.

Just came back from there last week.

Just skip peranakan restaurants. If this cuisine is good, it wouldnt just exist there.

Restoran Tong Sheng is very good and reasonable. Be sure to make reservations in advance.

Dont miss Capitol Satay Celup as well ! I walked 15mins just to get there and Q for 45mins but still very worth my time.

Thanks all.

There is no way I'm gonna queue for 45 minutes for any food.

That is so stuuuupid, imo, thanks for the suggestion though.

 

Bei Zan is OK ish, might try it again but been there many times.  As you say nice setting and the staff and service is always good.  The 'Lamb Shank' is very good but too much even for 5 of us.

 

Yeah the Peranakans have been poor for a long time was hoping for a new one or one that might have improved a lot.

 

Where is Restoran Tong Sheng???

 

Any update on Lee's Crab place???

 

What about the restaurant next to Hard Rock which used to be called 'The Tarragon'.  Has that reopened yet?

There are other better satay celup like Ban Lee Hiang.

 

Most local knows that Singaporean are the one in the q.

We Singaporeans see a queue, join a queue.

I've stopped going to peranakan restaurants in Melaka in my last couple of trips there this year. Used to go Auntie Lee but understand she already retired and reportedly sold the business, standard dropped since then.

 

Any recommendations for other nice peranakans besides the usual few?

Opposite Amy heritage nyoya shop, there is a coffeeshop selling Zhi char.

 

Always long queue.

No chance to try it for the last two rounds when I'm there.

My own subjective opinion regarding Peranakan food...

 

1. Nancy's - standard dropped

 

2. Amy Heritage Nyonya - better-er :D

 

3. My Peranakan frens say home cooked food is the bestz [laugh]

 

Nancy's moved to new location along Jalan Syed Abdul Aziz.

Did not make reservation and walked in on a weekday afternoon last week.

Told to wait 45 minutes. Ended up taking lunch at Casa de Cafe a couple of units away.

Ban Lee Siang not to my tastes. A bit more watery and not as spicy haha.

 

I prefer the Capitol one where they make 'new' satay sauce for customers and its more gao.

You mean at capitol ? They add peanut and spice to the base sauce to bring it up to their consistency.

 

My fav is Satay Celup @ Ayer Itam Market in Penang.  The peanut sauce is yummy + spicy.
