Restoran Atlantic 1 (Nyonya Food)@Melaka.

Three men i.e. my two colleague and me drove down to Melaka city for business and pineapple tarts.

We  met up with our friend Ong whose office is just a stone throwaway from a famous pork satay restaurant in Kampung Hulu.

After we had done with our business, Ong took us to buy pastries and pineapple tarts,  fresh from the oven.

Then a quick tour of the rural areas of Pulau Gadong, Klebang, across the reclaimed sea areas and back to town (Jonker Street) and Kampong Hulu  for lunch at Restoran Atlantic 1 (Nyonya Food )

Their tagline-Nyonya Baba Food-Authentic Peranakan Cuisine at it's best aptly described their food.

Pineapple fried rice- grainy rice fried with shrimp-garnished with pineapple, chicken floss and cashew nuts-one of their signature dish.

House made Tofu-crisp on the outside and silky smooth inside-garnished with deep fried shallots, tomato and spring onion-seated on light soy sauce and oil.

Pongteh Ayam (Chicken)-with mushroom and potato-a bit diluted (need more buah keras (candle nuts) to bring up the flavor)

Gulai Siakap (not very fresh) with tomato and cubed pineapple in a spicy and flavorful gravy.

Chinchalok (brined baby shrimps or krills-an age old Malay delicacy) Omelette-well fried-a bit sourish and pungent in taste .

Blanched tender Ladyfinger topped with sambal belacan chillies..

Pun Choy@Loong Foong Seafood.

Pun Choy literally mean a basin full of food.

Traditionally, a Hakka delicacy and only available during weddings and festivals in the village and old rural districts in China.

Nowadays, it is too commercialized in Malaysia, easily available throughout the year.

Some restaurants need two days reservation in advance to prepare the dish which is served in a clay pot, with layer upon layer of meat and vegetables.

The quality get better if diners are prepare to pay more money.

We celebrated Mother's Day@ Loong Foong Seafood. with two big clay pots of Pun Choy and a plate of stir fried Four Heavenly Kings vegetables.

The Pun Choy was enough to feed 17 of us but the high level of MSG made us thirsty !

Pun Choy-the top layer was it's highlight and the best-soya sauce tossed sea prawns, scallop, Mexican Abalone,sea cucumber, roasted pork, limpets and broccoli-next layer was boiled chicken, roast duck, fish maw, meat balls, fish stuffed dried oyster, carrot and white radish....etc -Rm428/
