i edi download the 48 hour food hunt to word doc

but some item will skip

capitol sate - duwan stand on roadside to q.  i rmb it was not so crowded in early 2000's de.

ocien - srsly small oysters. not my liking.

must try more portugese/nyonya variety , maybe search for best kapitan chiken. i think nyonya food not getting the highlight it deserved (also too much competition from penang nyonya foods)

ah mix, nyonya food got what nice one?

Be reminded pls discount abit of your expectation of m'cca food hor.. Although most of the famous wan really long que but after you tasted it, your expectation might not be positive...Well unless you're from Singapore of JB. haha.

important thing to note while visiting Melaka - you can skip those with queues but you will end up eating anyway due to peer pressure.

as a fellow malaccan..i realise many (even malaccans) have poor knowledge on whereabouts of good food...this is my list...trust me...follow this list
baba nyonya food - most of the "nyonya" restaurants along jalan melaka raya are all highly overrated...some used to be good..due to them catering to tourist...standards dropped A LOT...best baba nyonya food..."Amy"...fellow nyonya aunty Amy cooks some great baba nyonya food...highly authentic...she cooks herself...better book a place on weekends otherwise if lots of customers you're in for a long wait. Shop located at Jalan Melaka Raya. Same row with Alliance bank. First row of shophouses opposite Mahkota Hospital, same side as Century Mahkota Hotel.
satay celup - one of my favourite things for supper, choose satay celup for the SAUCE...many will recommend "Capitol"...used to be good...but its shit nowadays...sauce watery and tasteless, go to Jalan Ong Kim Wee...another famous joint/joints..."Ban Lee Siang", they recently separated into two stores following a dispute between the brothers. Both are alright...much better than the "famous" capitol.
Nyonya laksa - creamy broth, cockles and prawns on top. Best one I know of is at Pengkala Rama, directly opposite Putra Hospital and St. Peters Church at the adjacent side. Look out for a row of realllly old shophouses. Forgot the name but ask around...they are famous. Go early or risk a sellout.
Pork satay - Kota laksamana beside the riverbank, famous but not generous. Small sticks of meat. There's a less well known, equally good or imo better one at Jln. Semabok. Beside a temple opposite Petronas. It's a small food court.
Popiah - Authentic popiah with generous amounts of filling and PORK LARD. Famous joint at Jln. Bunga Raya still good. Not for people who dislike oily food.
Nasi lemak - There's a very good one at Batu Berendam. Baba Nyonya owned. Opposite the fisheries department. Very small and dirty store. Who cares, the nasi lemak is fragrant. Eggs, kangkung and ikan bilis. All you need, no extra fillings. SAMBAL AMAZING!! Only in the morning.
Durian Cendol - Screw the Jonker Street stalls and stores. Best one found at Jalan Melaka Raya. Row of shophouses opposite Fenix Inn. Restaurant known as "Jeta Groves". Amazing Durian Cendol. Owners are related to Baba actor Kenny who recently starred in Nasi Lemak 2.0.
WanTan mee - Famous Malacca wantan mee is clear. Not dark. Can find good one at Jln. Bunga Raya. Shop just beside "famous" bunga raya orchien. They have a few branches. Another famous branch at Kampung Lapan. Corner shop opposite Tun Tuah highschool. "Shakey noodles" due to the owners habit of "shaking head" while cooking. It's a nerve problem actually. Crowded.
Chicken Wings - KL's famous Jln. Alor chicken wings pale in comparison to these. Found in same shop as wan tan mee above at Kampung Lapan. Brought my KL friends here and they were impressed. Very crispy and BBQed to perfection.

There are too many joints serving nice food to post all here. Continue next time. =)

Don't try!!
orchien/fried oyster - Malacca used to have good fried oyster. 10/20 years back?? Bunga Raya joint used to be very good according to my dad. The dad passed away and now run by his son. Changed the recipe. Now its shit.
Seriously don't try Capitol Satay Celup, they are ruining Malacca's famous satay celup.

nope...earlier they were two stores....operated by one family...then one brother quarreled with another...then they divided the stores...it is said that the original sauce can be found at the right hand side store...where u can still see most of the family members including the older ones....left hand side store operated by only the brother and his family...ban lee siang is still ban lee siang
