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.

Enak Rasa Ikan Bakar No:4&5@Terapong.

There are just too many Medan Ikan places in Melaka, streching from Ujong Pasir 
to Umbai.

We were spoiled for choices.

As it is a Puasa month, many Muslims break their fast here with a healthy meal
of grilled fish and other assorted seafood, otak2, nasi lemak....etc

As most of the popular Medan Ikan Bakar were crowded with diners, we drove
further inwards and opted for Perkampongan Ikan Bakar Terapong@Umbai Baru.

It is a much quieter and laid back, and is a 2 storey concrete building built along the shoreline,
with a big parking area.

A plump lady ushered us to her family run grilled seafood stalls at No 4&5.

There is quite a good selection of fresh seafood and fragrant yellow coconuts are available at their
drinks stall.

We had grilled fillet jenahak, sea prawns, lala, squid, otak2, nasi lemak and a mixed vegetables.

Overall the food was not too bad and reasonably priced 

Parking is ample.  

While waiting for the main dishes, we had fragrant nasi lemak bungkus with a dollop of spicy sambal chillies @Rm0.70/ and grilled otak2 @Rm0.70.

HEE LAI TON RESTAURANT (PUCHONG) SDN BHD.

Saturday lunch time with my buddies, we went to "pig-out"at Hee Lai Ton Restaurant (Puchong Sdn Bhd) in Bandar Puchong Jaya(opposite IOI Mall), Puchong.

Bandar Puchong Jaya's busy commercial area is full of eating places from mobile steamboat vans in the evening to simple coffee shops or designer restaurants.

Hee Lai Ton is having a "Eat all you can" promotion for Rm23.80 tt excluding rice and tit bits.

The five of us were filled up to the rim after the marathon feast from 12 pm-2.30 pm-very bad for health but once in a while it was a luxury!

A grandeur place to dine.

A bowl of Sharkfin soup for each of us-the broth was tasty but there was not much Sharkfin.

Soy sauce sea Prawns-don't be fool-the smaller ones are at the bottom but nevertheless it was tender and succulent.

Roast Duck (Thigh)-ordered 2 plates -very crispy skin, meaty and juicy with a distinct flavor-best!

Claypot Pork ribs-well braised, firm and meaty with melt in the mouth soft Beancurd sheets.

Steamed Grass Carp belly with blended Ginger garnished with slivers of carrots and Coriander leaves-smooth, fine textured and very fresh.

Steamed Boiler Chicken with black Fungus and knotted Golden Lily buds-meat was tender and meaty- the juicy essence was a delight to slurp.

Fried Tung Hoon (Glass noodle) with 2 small sized Crabs and pungent aromatic Parsley-the Crab meat shrunk and the noodle were way too salty.

Mixed assorted vegetables-young baby Corn, sliced Lotus root, Celery, Asparagus and Onion-refreshing and delicate flavor to balance off all the meat.

Deep fried Squid with salted Egg-lightly battered, very flavorful from the Curry leaves and salted Egg.

Fried Sang Mee (Egg noodle) with Squid, Pork, earthy Button Mushroom and crunchy Beansprout-a good combination.

Fruits (Papaya/ Honeydew) and sweet dessert (Sea coconut/Lychee) to end a wholesome meal.
