Guest writer Deborah Chan from Food Tour Malaysia gives us her expert tips on where to find delicious food in the

heritage city of Melaka in Malaysia.

Take advantage of long weekends and head to the famous UNESCO World Heritage city of Melaka. Famed for its rich

Portuguese and Dutch heritage from years gone by, this city is flocked by hundreds of tourists on a daily basis. But if you look hard enough, youd find great local gems away from the tourists hotspots.

The Nyonya laks a at Poh Piah Lwee is a velvety curry soup noodle dis h

Being in a town where food literally dominates the scene, I dived into a controlled gastronomic fare. My mantra: Eat only

to satisfy the palate and never enough to satisfy the tummy. And that was how I kept to moderation! A mus t try is the

durian cendol on Jonker Street, a creamy dessert of shaved ice, green stringy jelly, beans, corn, dollops of the durian

flesh and a hearty drizzle of thick palm sugar. Look for Jonker 88 , you wont miss it as there is a perpetual line of

customers waiting to be seated.

Popiah is a local veggie spring roll this one at Poh Piah Lwee had

tiny pieces of fried lard inside

For mains, try the Nyonya Laksa and Popiah at Poh Piah Lwee located at the intersection between Jonker Street and

Tun Cheng Lock. The small shop often goes unnoticed as tourists bypass it to get to the buzz at Jonker. The laksa soup

is velvety with a mild piquant taste stirring my appetite for another bowl but I resisted. The popiah, a local veggie

spring roll oozed with flavour. Unlike other boring veggie rolls, this kept me hungering for more. At the end of the meal, I

finally found the secret ingredient tucked among the healthy greens, tiny pieces of fried lard! (Not so healthy anymore)

Baba Charli e is a hidden gem and a haven for homemade Nyonya kuih

The next day I discovered another hidden gem called Baba Charlie , a haven for homemade Nyonya kuih. Located at

No.72, Lorong Pantai Tengkera 2C (about 2 minutes drive from Jonker along Jalan Tun Cheng Lock), the house

exterior actually looked like a mega-sized kitchen with trays, pots, woks and kitchen utensils decked all over. I started to

doubt if I got the right place, but as soon as I stepped into the house, my doubts melted away. A colourful patchwork of

delectable kuihs filled the table. A fickle mind and a growling stomach did not help with the selection. Everything looked

good and the kuihs came in different sizes, colours and filling. A tip, ask if you are unsure. Other customers are m ore

than willing to help you choose the bes t buys.

Nyonya kuihs are sweet or savoury bite-sized snacks and desserts, usually made from glutinous rice flour

For lunch, I fortuitously stumbled on the Hajjah Mona Assam Pedas Restaurant located at No. 6, Taman Kota

Laksamana (just a few streets away from Jonker). It was actually the smell that wooed me in. If you are up to a hot and

spicy meal, dont miss out on this. This Malay restaurant serves up the bes t assam pedas; fish bathed in red hot

assam pedas gravy served with hot steamy white rice.

Finally to seal the night with something sweet, try Putu Piring, light fluffy cake dough filled with palm sugar bits that melt

in your mouth. There is a warning that if you start, you cannot stop! Find the tiny stall located along Jalan Tenkera atNo.252 (next to the Sports Toto shop). It only opens in the evening from about 7pm till late.
