    Introduction:

    NUBACHA!! Don't be fooled as it sounds like one of those Japanese style tea outlets, isn't it? It is definitely not one of them. Nubacha restaurant has been going for 10 months and is one of the historical town's venues of a smart choice for western food.

    Ambiance:

    A combination of old furniture right infront of the bar counter, renovation blends in simple  modernisation feel with unique table arrangements with white chairs and pieces of funky arts adorning the wall.


    Nubacha @ Jalan Laksamana Cheng Ho, Melaka-Malacca

    Food:

    The menu here offers some inspirational relief from the standard Western fare. With his passion for food, the chef deviates from the norm and comes up with his own recipe.

       

    Soup of the day-Mushroom Celery Soup @ RM 5.90 served with garlic bread

       

    B.C Sausage (Pork) @ MYR 20.00 served with potato and salad
    Home made sausage with cheese. Ground pork with cheese- fresh, meaty and flavorful. A star studded dish indeed!

    Americon Charbroiled Chicken @ MYR 16.90 served with potato and salad
    Something slightly more humble, but still a good choice. Well marinated with earthy flavour. The accompanying sauce and the perfectly grilled chicken is a good counterpoint.



    Charbroiled Apple Belly @ MYR 16.90 served with garden salad and potatoes
    From the grill, the surf and turf with this delicious pork belly with chef's apple sauce means a perfect lunch. Adventorous! Every bite is exciting!

       

    Malacca Pork Bun (Original) @ MYR 8.90
    Charbroiled pork patty tooped with lettuce, tomato and cucumber. Forget about fastfood! Spend a little more time and you will definitely be pleased. Succulent and juicy pork patty. Even the wheat buns are chef-made.

    Malacca Chicken Bun (Original) @ MYR 10.90
    Golden crumbs chicken fillet topped with lettuce,tomato and cucumber.


    Wrap up:

    Introduction:

    Should you want to try some good food in Malacca, you would probably need a local to take you around. And of course not those commecialised restaurants at the historical town. I mean the real local hidden gem.

    Food:

    The family run restaurant has been around for 35 years or more and they serve awesome home cooked food.


      

    Braised chicken feet with cut chillies and ginger

    One of my favorite grandma dish. We used to prepare this dish together, but she's too old to cook now though. Hardly find one that pleases me but this was pleasing.


    Braised pork with eggs

    Extremely tender braised pork with savorly delicious thick gravy. Flavorful!


       

    Curry Fish Head

    Big portion of fish head prepared with aromatic curry gravy.

    Steam Lala

    Extremely fresh and juicy lala steamed with plenty of ginger, spring onions and or course the traditional Shao Xing wine. Love this very much!


    Wrap up:

    Always crowded especially during lunch hour. Food running out pretty fast, so be there early! Service and serving time is fast.

  • Super Spicy Steamboat @ Restaurant Hong La Qiao Off Jalan Pudu, Kuala Lumpur

    Jun 24, 2012 11:37 PM


    Introduction:

    Hong La Qiao literally means red chillies in English. That's the reason I am here! Not sure about you, but having super spicy food would be one of my ways to release tension. The restaurant has been operating for years and not only it is famous for locals to savor authentic spicy Sze Chuan steamboat, it is also a famous spot for tourists from China to feast in.


    Ambiance:

    Minimal decor I would say. A fairly simple large open space on the ground and first floor with wooden tables and chairs, and a few arts and drawings with Chinese feel.



    Food & Beverages:

    The title of this blog explains all- the restaurant serves authentic spicy Sze Chuan steamboat paired with fresh ingredients that you need to pick from the list. Other than these, they serve authentic chinese cuisine as well.

    Wrap up:

    How about a heat wave for you? I love spicy food! The spicy soup with sensual ingredients numbs the lips and tongue then sends a wave of heat throught the throat and produces sweat but leaves surprisingly seduction to crave for more! Spicy food lovers definitely experience the same- I bet!
    And I am craving for some super duper spicy food now- yes at this hour!

  • Restaurant Sek Yuen @ Jalan Pudu, Kuala Lumpur

    May 26, 2012 10:55 PM


    Introduction:

    Sek Yuen Restaurant  has been around for 50 years or more and has a huge following- and no wonder for this might easily be rated as one of the famous old chinese restaurants. Funny it seems, there are actually two outlets with the new one just right beside the old restaurant. The difference would only be that the new outlet is with air conditiong. But then again, both outlets are always packed.

    Ambiance:

    An almost no decor restaurant with a vintage feel. The only decor would be their fluorescent signboard which was added in the recent year. Tables and chairs actually remain from the 50's.



                                       Restaurant Sek Yuen @ Jalan Pudu, Kuala Lumpur

    Food & Beverages:

    The restaurant serves Chinese cuisine and dishes prepared on a 100% wood fire- the old cooking style. Promised fresh ingredients at all times.

       

    Stir fried eggs with shark fins
    Aromatically fried, not too greasy with generous amount of pleasant-smokey-woodfire aromatic shark fins.

    Roasted duck (Pei Pa Ngap)
    Stylishly roasted with a half-century recipe. Crispy skin with it's well maintained tenderness. Blended well with the sweet and sour sauce served along.


       

    Stir fried vege with prawns.
    Deliciously fried with succulent prawns.

    Steamed Cod Fish- Ginger soy sauce steamed
    Fresh, juicy and smooth with a natural milky flavour in the palate. Thumbs up!


    Wrap up:

    The bill came out to be RM 109.00. Apologies for no detail price breakdown of the dishes.
    There is no other reason this restaurant is still crowded after more than 50 years.  If you are craving for delicious authentic Chinese cuisine, Sek Yuen would be a good choice. Be early as the restaurant is full as usual and parkings are limited.
