Avillion Legacy Melaka Coffee House

We had buffet breakfast at Avillion Legacy Melaka Coffee House. We stayed for a night and they gave 2 voucher for the breakfast. So the rest of us have to pay ourselves. It costs RM26++ per head. Not much choices and pastry just average and food quite hotel style.

Cendol Place

Walked along Jonker street under a extreme hot sun and we decided to have some cool stuff. Melaka cendol is very famous. We went in to below shop, it seems quite famous. Cendol tastes good but I prefer the not so thick Gula Melaka version.

The normal cendol's basic ingredients are coconut milk, a worm-like jelly made from rice flour with green food coloring (usually derived from the pandan leaf), shaved ice and palm sugar(Gula Melaka). Other ingredients such as red beans, glutinous rice, grass jelly, creamed corn, might also be included depends on what type of cendol you are ordering. What special of cendol in Melaka? They have vert thick and sticky palm sugar.

Description found on internet: Gula melaka is made by first extracting the sap from the flower bud of a coconut tree. Several slits are cut into the bud and a pot is tied underneath the bud to collect the sap. Then, the sap is boiled until it thickens after which, in the traditional way, it is poured into bamboo tubes between 3-5 inches in length, and left to solidify to form cylindrical cake blocks.

Nadeje Patisserie

I heard that Melaka has famous crepe style cake, people even drive down from KL just to go for it. We also purposely drove to the place to taste it. I think original & cheese mile crepe taste the best and I advise dun take too much, as you will feel uneasy after having too much. 1 slice is just nice.

Here are what we ordered for 5 of us. Total bill RM96.30, so it is not very cheap tough.

Old Street Dumpling

We had family trip to Melaka and I wanted my mum and sister try out the Melaka famous Nyonya dumpling. What is so special about this dumpling? It comes with blue glutinous rice.

Why is it blue? The blue colour comes from the blue pea flower. To get its nice ocean blue color -  Let the blue pea flower sit in the water for 20 minutes, squeeze out the pulp,let it cool. Add the blue pea colouring to the glutinous rice.  Then leave to soak overnight.

I got them 2 nyonya dumpling. Nyonya dumplings taste rather sweet than salty if compare to the normal traditional dumplings. It costed me RM3.50 per dumpling. This stall's nyonya dumpling not up to my standard but the meat filling just nice. I tasted better one in one  of the nyonya restaurant before. The filling should be slightly sweet but this one a bit toward to salty. Overall,  it just taste like other dumplings except it use minced meat. 

Famosa Chicken Rice Ball Restaurant

This is not my first try of chicken rice ball. The chicken rice ball is basically "Mashed Rice" and roll into a small round ball. The white chicken & roasted chicken not up to my standard and char siew is not nice. Din manage to try their roasted pork as sold out. I ordered yam rice ball and very disappointed with it.

I still prefer the normal rice where it taste QQ and not mashed rice style.

Amy's Nyonya Kitchen

We had the traditional nyonya food for lunch during our visit to Melaka. Overall, I found the food not that nice as what I had 5 years ago. May be due to we ordered the wrong food. I would like to try the nyonya food again next time as I really like the food that I tasted last time.



This is nice but I forgot what is the name of this dish


Kanglong Belacan - my favourite


Sambal Fish - the sambal was actually in the picture below. The waitress told us that it is very spicy, so we separated the sambal and fish


I really cannot get use of the taste of the chicken above. The "black stone" is one kind of fruit but its taste quite strange
