Awesomely Chocolate and Rum Rum Raisin on a Waffle at Udders Ice Cream
Noticed a few other lovely eateries nearby (Brother Wah, Restoran Hiap Lip) which I figure I kinda owe to myself to try another time.
Dinner and service was great (sole exception was that their stirfry take on chapchye meant that the cabbage was still crisp from the wok rather than stewed till the cabbage is sweetly translucent, i.e., how I prefer Nonya ChapChye to be). The other dishes (Mutton Curry, Ayam Pongteh, Ikan Asam Pedas) all had great oomph tho, no worries... especially the Udang Asam Goreng (Flash-fried Tamarind Prawns) on Pic 4.
As bonus, we got to drizzle the jaggery (gula melaka) onto the chendol ourselves, and the Pie Tee also came as an experiential DIY project!! Awesome for those of us who like to play with our food.
The noodle maestro was off-form for this rendition. Taste was good but the mee kia was clumpy this time.
Crispy thin (but unshaven fluffiness inside) pancakes now come as half moons
I had pork ribs added for good luck!
These fritters are not commonly seen... Probably only in estuarine cities since they are made from pink (estuarine) shrimp (#์ ์). Flamingoes would probably love it! Cannot help but suspect some Portuguese influence in linking this between places they frequented (Malacca, Macau, Kochi, Korea) when they sailed the seas one or two hundred years back.
Probably Malacca's most focused kuih maker, Bee Bee makes only kuih tart (spiced pineapple tarts) and runs her business from a home kitchen 13 mins walk from where the Equatorial Hotel is. Bee Bee bakes and bakes. One thing you can be sure of is that what you get is really right out of the oven. Mine were. One of the four boxes we bought was too salty (sense is that someone forgot and added salt twice to the dough), the other 3 boxes were pretty good.
