Nyonya Restaurants in Melaka (Malacca)

Restoran Nyonya Makko serves really good nyonya food. I know there are many others out there but I managed to try this one first! Actually, I noticed every table the orders taken are almost similar. It's like these are the main few recommendations for every tourists that walks in. Hence the taking order part was fast and swift, the serving was pretty quick and served together. It's like they know what we're going to order already.My total bill came up to RM161.75 for 4 pax. Okay~lah for the portion and the meals were almost satisfying except for the fish dish... I should've have tried "Assam Fish" instead! Btw, I can't stand spicy meals, but the dishes here weren't so spicy. It was just right for me. For spicy lovers (like my mom & my hubby) it was more flavorful then spicy to them lolx...

For starters, we ordered a set of Pai Tee... They received our Thumbs UP!

Googling for "Ole Sayang" returned hundred of results about its Peranakan Food, mostly reviewed and recommended by travel or tourism related websites... after tried the food here, I concluded this restaurant was overrated, not because the food here is not good, but really... nothing excited... maybe modern lifestyle makes people longed for more "home-style" kind of dishes.

Overall, I believe this Nyonya Restaurant is a bit over rated. You may try this restaurant if you are bored with Restoran Nyonya Makko.

Overall it was not bad and proved to be a new experience for me. More importantly, the noodles used do not have that annoying alkaline taste so you could properly appreciate the soup’s soothing flavor.

The meal for 3 came to RM82/USD27, including drinks of cendol with gula melaka (not bad, but really small bowl). Definitely worth a try if you are keen on trying Nyonya fares and the conventional fan favourites seem to bore/disappoint you more often than not.

If you don't care much about ambience but want a simple and good local food, this is the place.

It was crowded and the food is so good and Cheap!!!

这家Donald&Lily Nyonya餐馆之前在Jonker Walk那区营业的，现在搬到新的店面，地点比较好停车外，店内的桌椅也比较多

Ayam Purut (RM19) This is a must-order. The aromatic curry is delicious and rich while the chicken was cooked to the perfect doneness.

One of the best nyonya dishes in Melaka. Call 06-2868819 to book in advance!

By the time we finished our meal, the place was already packed to the brim. One point to note though; allocate enough time for the cooking and don’t come when you’re half crawling on the floors; all famished and weak. But if you are ready for a memorable Nyonya feast, then Amy Heritage Nyonya Cuisine may just be your preferred choice too.

Seriously I think East & West Rendezvous Café deserves more recognition than the other overrated outlets in Melaka.

Peranakan Hi-Tea Buffet at Makan Nyonya is definitely not to be miss and is also really value for money.

Tai Bak-was served with shaved ice and only pandan infused syrup, topped with shredded pink and white cendols; and black grass jelly cubes.

It’s a fair price considering it’s Equatorial, plus you are getting mostly fresh ingredients such as prawns, sliced fish, squid, chicken, beef and yong tau fu and not processed food.

Donald & Lily in Malacca had been famed for its delicious temptations of their nyonya delights.

First Peranakan Patisserie, Kueh-kery™ and tea room by an 8th Generation Baba, the Great Grandnephew of the eminent Baba Sir Tun Tan Cheng Lock.

I love and I’m in full support of the owners’ vision of showcasing Peranakan heritage through this “kueh-kery”. Their aim to make authentic Peranakan kueh and desserts available to the public is certainly commendable In addition to education, locals and foreigners can enjoy dainty pieces of local delicacies, savouries and beverages in an air-conditioned outlet. While the decor and ambience could do with more work, it is still a decent place for some quiet time. No WIFI is available at the moment.
