Amy Heritage Nyonya Cuisine @ Melaka – Taste the Difference

May 5, 2014 | 29,741 views

Pie Tee - Top Hat

Pie Tee (MYR1.50/USD0.50 each) – These are Nyonya-inspired flower-shaped crispy pastry filled with juicy mengkuang (jicama/yam bean), finely-chopped omelette, red chillies and scallions; meant to be eaten with their own concoction of piquant & tangy chilli sauce.

Continuing the Melaka 2014 series; let me share with you this brilliant discovery of one excellent Nyonya cuisine restaurant in Melaka named Amy Heritage Nyonya Cuisine at Taman Melaka Raya.

Despite the many visits to the heritage town over the years (looking back over the recent times; this has been an annual ‘makan’ pilgrimage!), I have yet to find one Nyonya restaurant worthy of two thumbs up or tagged with a ‘die-die-must-try’ label.

Okay, I’ve done Baba Low recently for breakfast but they are not full-fledged Nyonya restaurant per se. Those in the league of Ole Sayang, Nyonya Makko, Cottage Spices or Big Nyonya (formerly Kenny’s Delight).

So what makes Amy’s restaurant so special?  Read the rest of this entry »

Rumah Peranakan @ Taman Sea, PJ – Authentic Nyonya Cuisine

March 1, 2011 | 13,515 views

What? No fancy titles, witty one liners, or trashy introduction? You know, sometimes when I’m completely high on cracks caffeine, I can write post spanning 1001 and words; endless ramblings that just drag on and on and on … that you wish Motormouth would just shut the hell up and get on with the food review.

Much like now. 🙂

Anyway, sorry lah, people. Just not in the groove today. Lately I have not been even writing that frequent. (Okay okay, of course I am setting myself standards against the past 2yrs + when you can read a new post almost every day, or every other day …. though I STILL get comments that how come I have all the time in the world to write at this pace; even now)

In 2 more days, Motormouth From Ipoh will be celebrating its 3rd year on the web. Amazing feat? Surprised even myself, for I had initial intention to write for 2 years at most, then the passion to write must have fizzled to sustain another year or so.

But then again, once you start on a project so close to one’s heart; pouring and squeezing every bit of your creative juices/imagination/passion into words and shots (okay, so they’re ugly …. and I don’t get funding for a DSLR, so don’t compare) … it’s just NOT easy to let go.

Honey Sotong

Honey Sotong – Crunchy, addictive pieces of deep fried batter-coated squids with sesame seeds in a sweet honey sauce. Trust me, your kids will fall head over heels for this …

I’ll probably sit down, lean back on my chair and put my thoughts into words come the 3rd year anniversary. Maybe, just maybe there is some truth behind the saying; that “Nothing in this world lasts forever … but cherish what you are doing/having now, for today’s a gift.”

Read on for the REAL food review; a restaurant serving commendable Nyonya fares in Taman Sea (and it’s not Seapark, go figure) in Petaling Jaya ….. Read the rest of this entry »

Motormouth in Malacca Again (Finale) – Donald & Lilly’s, Cottage Spices, Tengkera Nyonya Kuih, Nadeje Patisserie

January 6, 2010 | 48,365 views

Continuation from previous chapter of Motormouth in Malacca Again (Part One) ….

Tang House Melaka - Breakfast

That Portuguese seafood feast was somewhat disastrous, but given the dire state of my gut at that very moment, I would be balking at the sight of, say ….  Lobsters, Alaskan King Crabs, or even Bluefin Tuna.

The very next morning, after some serious deliberation, I agreed to a ‘light’ breakfast at our guesthouse – Tang House. Breakfast is provided FOC for your information, to guests only. Though we saw many outsiders, even construction workers from a nearby area having their leisurely-paced breakfast at the cafe, for the pricing is rather reasonable. Even comparable to the average coffee shops, with drinks priced at below RM2.

I had an Egg Burger, which was an omelette sandwiched between an Apollo bun, that most nostalgic wave washing over me all of a sudden. I could imagine the ancestor seated on the very same stool, biting into his Apollo bun with kaya and butter decades ago. Morbid thought?

Ayam Pongteh @ Donald & Lilly's

The day started with a second breakfast (yeah, THAT fast although I was already half-repulsive at that thought) at Donald & Lily’s, a small charming outlet situated at the back of Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock, within walking distance from the centre of Melaka town, the Jonker Walk area.
