That was the BEST Nyonya cuisine I ever had in Malacca.. seriously, everyone must try their appetizer pie tee and the braised pork.. so delicious! The staff was also welcoming. Better make reservation (call in or via google map assisted) I really love the Peranakan-style ambiance in restaurants — it feels like a conversation across time.
A stunning restaurant and the food was just as good. We had the ikan jenak asam steam and sambal udang, it was so fresh and delicious. We also had the sago gula melaka and cendol, very generous with the santan but i did find it a tiny bit too sweet. Definitely make reservations in advance and parking is difficult so take e-hailing or its going to be a walk up to the restaurant.
This Peranakan restaurant offers a fantastic experience. The shophouse setting is beautiful. We particularly enjoyed the chili pork, Ayam buah keluak, and chendol. The portions may seem a bit small, but I think it’s just right and it allows you to try a wider range of dishes. The prices are extremely reasonable, so the food and decor are a great value for money. I will definitely come back again.
We really enjoyed our dinner in this traditional Peranakan Mansion. The atmosphere was surreal, you felt like you were back in time. The service was very attentive. To start,we had the vegetable spring rolls. The beef rendang with bao was so tasty. We also ordered the lemon grass chicken. After the 1st bite, you could tell it was a kampong(village) chicken. Was delish !!! The diners seemed to be a mix of Malaysian locals and Asian tourists. Was not expensive. Great Nyonya food in a traditional setting.
Recommended by friends from Melaka. The vibe in this place is awesome. Really makes you feel like you're living in a Baba Nyonya traditional house. Food here is really good and the portion is just nice for 6 pax. The babi goreng chilli garam is a must order here. Pairs really well with the butterfly pea flower tea. Really good. Price is also reasonable for the portion. Highly recommended.

Serving staff were polite, patient and helpful which made our dining experience there delightful.
