Pescados Fishermans at Portugese Settlement Malacca

Dinner was somehow a bit hard to decided when we were in Malacca as there were too many choices. Finally, we decided to visit the Portugese Settlement and settle our dinner there. There are a whole row of restaurants to choose from and somehow its really annoying when each worker from different restaurant approached you and asking us to try out their food.

We had a hard time deciding and finally we just made our choice on the Pescados Fishermans restaurant.

 

We ordered a few dishes which includes:

Butter Chicken

Fried Kai Lan

Grilled Fish

 Otak Otak

I personally loved the Grill Fish as it was one of the best grilled fish I had tasted so far and the fish is fresh. The Butter Chicken was good too but the Fried Kai Lan was a bit too salty. The otak-otak which I ordered from the small stall beside the restaurant was just moderate and it tasted just like any normal otak-otak being sold. As a conclusion, it was a great dinner and we definitely choose the correct restaurant. For those who wanted to go try out, I will recommend the Grill Fish.

Nadeje Cafe at Dataran Pahlawan, Malacca

I have been eager to try out the mille crepe at the famous Nadeje in Malacca so we made our way to one of the branch which is at Dataran Pahlawan. When we reached there, as expected it was crowded with customers.

The crowded Nadeje

As there was no more tables for us to dine in, we decided to take away the mille crepes. So we bought 4 different flavours to try out.

 Original

 

 Chocolate Banana

 Milk Tea

Cappucino Choco

Overall, I would prefer the original flavour as the rest are just too sweet and creamy. In my opinion, I think Mille Crepe is best taken in its original flavour which is usually the vanilla. Nadeje is still worth a visit for its varieties of Mille Crepe and customers has certainly had a lot to choose from and the price is cheaper at RM8.50 per piece compare to the ones sold in Petaling Jaya. I will make a review next time on the Mille Crepe in Petaling Jaya when I had the chance so stay tune.

Chicken Rice Ball at Huang Chang Restaurant

Well, after the Dim Sum at Man Ting Siang , we continue our search for food and we decided to tried out the famous chicken rice ball at Huang Chang Restaurant.

Unlike the other similar restaurant, this is not crowded with tourist and most of the patronist were all the local malaccans. Once again, we were lucky enough to get the last table inside the restaurant. As expected, it was really crowded. I was quite surprised because it was still early in the morning around 10-11am and there were already lots of people eating the chicken rice.

As usual, we took our orders from the waitress and waited. It took some time before our order came as there were really lots of customers.

Chicken Rice Balls

Braised Chicken

There were only one choice of chicken which is the braised chicken and unlike the other restaurants, it does not serve other varieties such as roasted chicken or 'Char Siew' (BBQ Pork). We had a taste of the chicken rice ball and I noticed that it was hand made and not by the machine by looking at the different shapes of the balls. The braised chicken meat was also very soft and smooth. Overall, the food is really nice and that proves the crowds of locals who entered the shop non stop.

Dim Sum at Man Ting Siang

It was early in the morning in Melaka when we decided to hunt for some good dim sum there. Well, I surfed some blogs and saw a recommendation for this place so 3 of us decided to go and try out this place. When we reached there, it was obviously crowded by people and we were lucky enough to get the last table at the last corner outside of the shop.

When we were seated on the table, a lady came with a tray of dim sum. She took our order of a pot of tea and she just left the whole tray on the table for us to choose and take ourselves the dim sum while she went to take the tea.

My happy friend with the whole tray of dim sum

Anyway, we started taking the usual dim sums that we have seen in any dim sum shop.

This is something special. It was actually sweet and sour fish surrounded by fried yam. It tasted good too.

The usual 'Siew Mai'

Green 'Siew Mai'

'Pai Kuat' (Pork Ribs)

Fish Paste

The tea in the cup

Well, we did order some extras like 'Chee Cheong Fun', 'Har Kao' and 'Lo Mai Kai' (Glutinous Chicken Rice) . We waited for quite some time and we have to repeat our orders a few times and in the end only this came.

'Chee Cheong Fun'

The 'Chee Cheong Fun' consist of prawns and also char siew in it. It definitely tasted good. Overall, the dim sum quality was moderate if compared to the ones in Ipoh and Selangor but the price is definitely much more cheaper in Melaka. So it was really worth it to have a try at this shop. The waiters definitely need to write down the customers orders to prevent from forgetting their orders.
