Kafe Lin's@Melaka.

 Six months ago, we had only cendol@ Kafe Lin's with a Melaka friend, Ruby, who swears
it was one of the best, around.

That time we did not get to try their authentic Peranakan mixed dishes ala mixed rice dishes style
because we were full from a great meal of mee rebus near Ujong Pasir.

This weekend, we arrived famished there at about 1:45pm after a hot and sweaty tour of Jonker Street and it's surrounding attractions.

All in we picked about eight dishes rich and spicy, all done Peranakan style.


The food is delicious and authentically cooked the way my mum used to cook for me.


 Parking is ample.

Fried chicken marinated with tumeric -crispy skin and tender and meaty.

Petai with onion and anchovies in hot and spicy sambal chillies paste.

Sea prawns/Squid sambal belacan chillies.

Assam Senangin chunks with ladyfngers and brinjal.

Stir fried sliced bitter  gourd with eggs.

Pongteh Chicken-just odd parts left, nevertheless the gravy goes well with rice.

Stir fried Spinach topped with deep fried shallots.

Fried eggs.

Cendol with kidney beans, gula Melaka, coconut milk......just nice and fragrant.

 

A great meal.

GERAI SEONG KEE NO:35 (MEDAN SELERA)

My son Mike was admitted to the Assunta Hospital in Petaling Jaya for a minor surgery, so we have to eat out for two days.
The nearest place to eat was either at the State new town center or PJ old town.

Gerai Seong Kee No:35 in Medan Selera, Petaling Jaya, Old Town was a good and cheap choice as the Yong Liew (stuffed Greens or Beancurd with Fishpaste) are fresh and make only upon order.

Today we ordered a Claypot Assam Stingray fish and some Yong Liew to eat with white rice and after that we walked over to Stall No:46 for a glass of ABC each to finish off the meal.

This is a drinks and beverages stall located at the center of the Foodcourt.

This small and compact family run stall serves a varieties of delicious food-a hit with office and factories workers.

Assam Fish-we selected sliced Stingray fish with Lady fingers (Okra), Brinjal (Aubergine) and lots of Chinese round Cabbage-thick and infectious tangy Tamarind flavored gravy-it got taste, color and texture-really whet up our appetite!-RM23/.

Yong Liew-fried crackling Siu Kow (dumpling), Fishpaste stuffed crispy Beancurd sheet and tasty delicate flavored Brinjal-Rm1/piece.

Yong tow foo (fishpaste stuffed silky smooth white Beancurd) and a hot red chili in a bowl of clear and tasty soup.

Sweet bean paste and chillies sauce-A good dip for the Yong Liew.

We went over to Stall 46 (a drinks stall), for our fix of ABC.

The ABC was served in a tall glass cup with a layer of green Pandan flavored noodle, red Beans, Cincau (black glass jelly), Palm sugar, fresh Coconut milk and finely shaved ice-it was cool and refreshing -a good thirst quencher after the meal.
