I bring you taste baba nyonya



Well, from the previous post, i have mentioned about some of the famous delicacies at Malacca. So, today i am going to bring you all to one of the famous baba nyonya food shop at Malacca. But, before that let my friend, Mr LMF feed his car with petrol first.



"UNLEADED FUEL ONLY"....always prefer unleaded fuel and protect our mother nature.



And let me briefly introduce you all some of the famous places at Malacca. I manage to take those pictures on the way to my destination of getting one of the best baba nyonya shop at Malacca. Well, i can't directly say that that shop is the best one, as different people got different taste in food. Maybe the girl i think is pretty, you won't gonna have the same point of view like me. And same goes to food.



Make sure you don't turn into "Taman Limpah". Me myself also don't know what is inside that taman. So just head straight to town.



Tan Kim Hock product centre, is one of the place whereby foreign visitors such as Singaporeans always buy local products of Malacca.


So called "red-houses"



Christ Church Malacca, one of the tourist spots at Malacca. Normally, many tourists come here to take pictures and for tricycle ride which will bring you go around the Malacca city.

Well, there are many types of museums at Malacca. Another special Museum which is located inside a ship is called maritime museum.


eyes on Malacca?? nono~~!!!

Now, finally we arrive at our destination, Donald and Lily corner. From the exterior outlook, the shop seems like nothing special, just looks like an ordinary shop house that are selling cendol. Nothing much different right??



So here we go in......

The interior is totally different than the exterior of the shop. The interior is so old school and provides you a baba nyonya "feel" which you can't feel it at the other shops outside Malacca state.



Collections of unique antiques which are priceless being display along the wall.



And from unique antiques to the pictures of oldies, which you all can slightly browse through if you get the chance to visit the place.



From the pictures display, I can roughly understand the owner's family and their wonderful contented lifestyle



Each of these remembrance means to be worthless to them.



See...apart from baba nyonya pattern, it's mixed with local chinese style too~~haha~~thats so called the society of Malacca..different cultures mixed together harmoniously



And not to forget to tell you all, the shop isn't that small from what you all can see from the pictures....have a closer look



Another compartment which you haven't found from the previous pictures. And here goes to the kitchen of the shop.



Manage to find that there are still some spaces right after kitchen?? It is long enough right?? well, don't think of others~!! i mean the shop is long enough.



Not forget to tell you all, the place is being visited by Ho Chak Food Review. See the prove below, so "mai siao siao" with the taste of the food they served here. The food here will make you drooled and addicted on it.....hahaha



Able to see the HO CHAK logo on the white envelope?? The envelope usually comes with a pair of chopstick which HO CHAK will normally give away as a souvenir to those places that they visited for doing food review.



So here's the food. My shooting skill isn't that pro enough. So those food pictures that i have shot are not really clear. The above picture is the rojak at Donald and Lily Corner. The ingredients inside contain sliced cucumber, pineapple, fish balls, and lastly "dao gua" in hokkien. I not really know how it calls in english, it's some sort like the dry tofu.



Another food that we ordered is nasi lemak with rendang chicken. Arrghhh~~~after i went back, i only found that the picture is blur....sad~~!!!anywhere, you all can roughly see hows it looks like from the not-very-blur pictures that i taken la...hahaha



Next, nyonya cendol..needless to say, the descriptions of nyonya cendol can be found from my previous post. What i have to say here is, the cendol here is really the best for me.



And here goes the baba nyonya laksa. I quite prefer the laksa here as it's thick with the taste of coconut milk. Nice~!





Lastly, not forget to thank to owner of the shop for her nice food~!



And thanks me as well. No photography is allowed in that shop. And i sacrifice myself from being scolded just to take pictures and let you all have a look. So, should i be thanked?? haha
