Ming Sate Hut@Melaka.

Another of Melaka's delights is Pork Satay.

We tried the other famous satay shop in Kampung Hulu the other day and was impressed.

Ming Sate Hut located a few doors from Nadeje is just as good.

They are more generous with their peanut/pineapple/belimbing sauce which leaves a tingling spicy, sourish sweet taste on your palate with every dip and bite.

Their all time favorites, pig's intestines were sold out-had grilled chicken innard, pork belly and chicken satay, instead.

Well marinated-tender, mist and juicy meat while the innards were chewy and crunchy.

 The only complain is the small bite sized satay.

Parking is ok.

Simple dining area.

Heng Hainanese Chicken Rice@Melaka.

The weekend crowds that swarmed and queued to eat boiled Chicken and rice balls in Jonker Street is
a hot and sweaty affairs and too touristy.

I would not do that even if, it's for free !

We found a quieter and not too crowdy place (nearby our hotel) to savor both farmed boiled chicken/roast chicken with 30 pieces of firm, round and fluffy rice balls and a good red chillies sauce for dip.

Plus another three side dishes i.e. nutritious black bean/chicken feet soup, stir fried crunchy Chinese round cabbage and a clay pot of spicy and sourish Assam Senangin (Threadfin) chunks with assorted vegetables.

A great and wholesome meal and reasonably priced.

Parking is ample.

Yin Yong chicken-soft and tender.

Hand rolled round rice balls-kept warm in a rice cooker.

Chinese round cabbage-sweet and crunchy

Assam Senangin fish chunks-fresh and sourish to prep up our appetite.

Black Beans soup with chicken feet-well boiled but a bit diluted.

Spicy red chillies sauce and a bottle of thick dark soy sauce.

Mille Crepe@Nadeje,Melaka.

I am no big fan of Mille crepe and my only taste of it is at Food Foundry.

Never knew Malaysians love it so much and need to queue to taste it.

The Mille crepe comes with many flavors and toppings.

Nadeje@Melaka is a happening place to meet and to be seen plus to satisfy your sweet cravings,
with a cup of coffee, tea or juices.

We were lucky not to queue and got seated on low slung red velvet sofa chairs.

Left the ordering to the younger guys and for drinks my wife and I opted for Japanese green tea.

Overall all the Mille crepe were good, not too sweet and melt in the mouth with every scoop !

Parking is bearable.

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.

Fried eggs.

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

 

A great meal.
