A week before our getaway, we were uncertain whether we should go ahead with the trip because of the increasing numbers of infected Covid-19 cases reported. We decided to watch and keep tabs on the daily updates. Initially, there were supposed to be 7 of us traveling in 2 cars but on the actual day, only 3 of us took this trip.
Throughout our journey, the weather was nice and cloudy and traffic was light. Someone suggested stopping for lunch in Malacca.
After driving many kilometres, we were told by Waze that we have reached our destination.
We alighted from the car looking left and right.
We saw Kapitan Kongsi Hotel on the right.
After a few more steps.....
And my searching eyes rested on this.
Someone directed us to the entrance.
It was after 2 pm and we were the only customers at that time.
More customers arrived before we left.
We were seated and after a while, someone came to take our orders.
We ordered 3 bowls of Cendol desserts which we requested to be served before the food. Cendol is a iced sweet dessert. Ingredients consist of shaved ice, droplets of green rice flour jelly, thick palm sugar syrup and thick coconut milk.
One of the most delicious Cendol I have tasted.
So, what food did we ordered for 3 people?
Cincalok Omelette.
Cincalok is fermented small shrimps.
Nyonya Chicken curry with black nut (keluak)
Our first experience tasting this dish.
Nyonya mixed vegetables.
Total cost of lunch for 3 people including the cendol came to about RM 70+
After lunch, we walked around to snap photos of the antique items
Dining table with antique furniture in the background.
Antique cabinet, mirrors, table and chairs.

A typical Nyonya bed.

Motorcycles.

After lunch, we drove to Nyonya Michelle to collect our orders for the authentic Nyonya chang and pineapple tarts.
Since we were in Malacca and the items were available, we were happy to collect our orders.
Yummy pineapple tarts.
We couldn't wait, we had to open a box in the car to taste these tarts.
Authentic Nyonya Chang or glutinous rice dumpling.
Only 2 left in my fridge. These are very good Nyonya chang. In future, if we want to fix our craving for these chang or dumplings, we can order and have them delivered to our house.
So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives.
Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves.
(Galatians 5:16, New Living Translation-NLT)
Interior is so beautiful and that food look very delicious. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you and have a good day.
DeleteBetter travel safe in smaller numbers. tasty food! Love to eat nyonya food and cendol. I have eaten buah keluak before. Rich and yummy. Claire mentioned dunno how to eat the buah keluak. Did you dig out the dark flesh to eat?
ReplyDeleteI too do not know how to appreciate buah keluak. Maybe not accustomed to the taste.
DeleteThe nyonya changs and pineapple tarts are the best! Did u buy any to take back to Ipoh or just take to JB?
ReplyDeleteWe brought home some of the chang and tarts.
DeleteI'd love to be with you! Viewing from my perspective of being locked down in Selangor.
ReplyDeleteThe streets look really quiet. I've had Nonya food a few times in Melaka and have found them so-so only. Either I have been going to the wrong places or I don't know how to appreciate.
We too didn't know which is the best place to go for Nyonya food, so we just picked one from the internet. I think we also don't know what to order, we should have kept to the ones that we are familiar with.
DeleteYour pictures are interesting! You are always the observant one!
ReplyDeleteHaving fun clicking away....
DeleteLovely pictures of those traditional furniture. And of course the meal looks very tasty.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie.
DeleteAmazing photos dear!

ReplyDeleteThank you, RR.
Delete...it looks like you had the place to yourself.
ReplyDeleteYes, almost before the customers who came in later.
DeleteI so love it when you take pics of surroundings, and those antiques are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rose.
DeleteI like that you had dessert first :)
ReplyDeleteIt will take some time for them to prepare our food so while waiting, we might as well enjoy our iced dessert.
DeleteLooks like a very nice area and beautiful restaurant.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gigi.
DeleteOh the food. I love your meals. Delicious.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day, Nancy. ♥
Thank you, Sandee.
DeleteI like those motorbikes.
ReplyDeleteThey are antique treasures.
DeleteI love these decorations! The omelet and dessert look so yummy! Everything is so deserted, it looks like a ghost town!
ReplyDeleteDue to the recent increase in infected cases, more people are staying home.
DeleteWhat a lovely place, thanks for sharing with us. Keep well Diane
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diane.
