We visited Malacca twice in Dec last year. As it was a last min decision, Courtyard and Hotel Puri were fully booked. We were lucky to find Knocknock Home, who had a cancellation due to their group size.

Having stayed @ Knocknock Home, I find Teo Soon Loong Chan Teochew Restaurant a ripped off. There are many more nicer and cheaper food within Jonker.

This was interesting to me and my boys - the submarine at the Submarine Museum (http://suitcasesandstrollers.com/articles/view/malacca).

Apart from which, we enjoyed dinner at the Portuguese settlement - nice atmosphere. ( http://magictravelblog.com/2011/12/dinner-at-the-portuguese-village-melaka/ - this blog has a few more eating places to recommend).

Food not to be missed in Melaka:


1) Pak Putra restaurant - juiciest n tenderest tandoori chicken with the softest triple cheese garlic or butter naan.

2) Nancy's Kitchen - Authentic peranakan cuisine at Jonker Street

3) Tong Sheng Restaurant - Famous with the locals, great seafood especially crabs in butter sauce. Their steamboat is very popular too. A must go for me.

4) Chung Wah chicken rice - rice comes in balls n flavourful. It is the best one in Jonker street. However, standards have dropped due to overwhelming response from tourists.

5) Jonker 88 - Good Nonyna laksa and perhaps Cendol as standards have dropped too.

6) Teo Soon Loong Chan Teochew restaurant - Great authentic Teochew cuisine that your Teochew grandparents will favour. A bit pricey though.

7) Teochew Bak Kut Teh - Next to La Boss hotel in Jln Melaka Raya. Very good value and generous. The herbal pork rib soup is unique Melakan style.

Kedai Minuman Siang Chiang Coffee shop - Very good wonton noodles and Ban Mian cooked in great ikan bilis stock. It is opposite Hotel Hallmark Inn.

Thank you for the information! This is really helpful, was thinking of going to Malacca for a trip during the upcoming long weekend.

A friend of mine said that Malacca is supposedly known for a satay steamboat - instead of soup the items are dipped into satay sauce. Do you know which restaurant has this?

Thank you in advance!

Satay Celup. There are 2. Capitol and Ban Lee Siang. I dare not eat cos I don't know whether they got change the sauce or not.

You have to go early as the queue are usually very long.
