Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner in Malacca, Melaka, Malaysia (B)

A UNESCO World Heritage site, Malacca, or Melaka, is a state in the west coast of Malaysia. It used to be ruled by the Portuguese, Dutch, and the British, and has a rich Peranakan heritage. There are many wonderful things to do and see in Malacca, but this article will highlight the best attribute of the city, the incredible food!

There’s a small airport in Malacca but Malaysians and Singaporeans tend to take a bus there from Kuala Lumpur, Singapore or Johor Bahru. There are tour operators that provide this service and the buses are really comfortable. If you’re feeling adventurous, you may rent a car and drive there yourself from any of the major cities. Once you get there, everything is pretty much walking distance in the city center or you can easily take cabs everywhere.

You’re on vacation! Sleep in and have a lovely dim sum brunch at one of the oldest restaurants in Malacca. Established in 1947, this family business is a five-minute walk to the touristy Jonker Walk but located at a quieter street. The restaurant is famous for its dumplings and pork buns, and I especially loved the steamed pork ribs in black bean sauce. The portions are small but it’s perfect to be able to try many different dishes. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
