Eating my way through Melaka

Visited Melaka in Dec'23 with some of my ex-colleagues.

Typical Peranakan shophouse in Jonker. Love the mosaic tiles above the entry way.

Had our first meal at the Geographer's cafe. I can't remember what it was.

The name of this dish on the menu was "Pandan-infused rice with deep fried chicken marinated in spices..." SHUT UP IT'S NASI LEMAK. But what can you expect from hipster cafes right? That aside, it was not bad actually.

Hipster-cafe coffee. It was good too.

Malaysian style dry pan-mee from a roadside stall called Tengkera Mee Hoon Kueh.

Nyonya laksa from The Peranakan Place at Jonker Street.

Durian chendol from The Peranakan Place.

December probably wasn't the best time to visit because of the rainy weather but it also wasn't very crowded, so we were able to do some sightseeing without having to jostle with other tourists.

Also, we stayed in a cute boutique hotel which was cosy and quiet even though it was located on a busy junction.

Adios.
