I see no reason to write a review in a blog then link it over here. Doesn't make sense.  Anyway, here's my link of Donald and lily's review - tripadvisor. Yes there are good reviews but there are also the bad ones. Once again, taste is personal, so do not take comments from reviews too personally.  Disclaimer: I did not personally judge the food good or bad, because I have not eaten it myself. I'm only displaying others' comments. Tripadvisor reviews on Donald and lily's |

Actually more than Klang Valley avg.. In Puchong, a bowl of laksa only RM4.50 and cendol only RM1.50. And that best Puchong cendol tasted better than Jonker 88 except not real gula melaka.. Jonker 88 good point is using gula melaka & not brown sugar but the cendol & santan lousy

For me, gula Melaka secondary bcos I dun like sweet things. The most important thing is the taste of the cendol & the real santan & not those package santan. I suspect Jonker 88 got their santan & cendol from Hypermarket for sure haha

QUOTE(RazorVista @ Nov 6 2011, 08:52 AM) Restaurant Name: Restoran Nyonya Makko Oh I need it, right now!!!!!!! I'm starved!!!!Dining Time: Dinner  Their main entrance. Very traditional way of the design.  Sambal Sotong Petai @RM24.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 3/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - It looks very spicy. Actually Nyonya food brings more sweetness in their food rather than spiciness. I am not a Petai (Parkia Speciosa) lover so this dish is not really my type.  Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - Have you eaten paku pakis before which is known as Psilotum in English? It is a very rare to eat. If you got the opportunity to see it in the menu, do not hesitate to order. Because it tastes so nice and delicious!  Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - Very delicious and special gravy! Must order! The prawns are big and fresh! Enough for one each.  Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 2/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - Very bad steamed tofu because it is quite hard and not soft. Maybe this the Nyonya way? Sorry if it is but I am not fancy to eat hard steamed tofu.  Chicken Satay @RM18.00 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 3/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - I love the satay gravy. One thing I find it quite weird which is chicken in Nyonya style is quite hard and very difficult to chew. Seems like they are using an old chicken. Is this normal?  Cendol @RM3.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 3/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 3/5 - My uncle said their cendol entered a contest and won 2nd best cendol in the whole Malaysia. The 1st place won by a restaurant in Penang. Not really sure where it is. I love Cendol in Melaka because they are using a very unique gula melaka or called brown sugar which you will not able to taste in any other state in Malaysia. As for this cendol, it is very delicious but I feel the cendol is slightly hard. Not very soft to chew on. The price is really frightening for a very small bowl of cendol. Ambiance: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Food Serving Speed: Moderate Recommended?: Yes, for cendol too. Complete Review: http://chillout-soulout-freakout.blogspot.com |

Going to Melaka this friday, stay for a nite & going to hunt food at different places other than the usual cendol, satay celup & chic rice balls that are so commercialised by food bloggers. Saw vkeong's latest food hunt guide & am going to follow his list this time.
Can't help but laugh at some members highly recommending Donald & Lily. I ate there once few years ago after I read abt all the hype & tasty food there. So excited when I finally found the place. Ordered cendol, ayam pongteh, laksa. Hoping the taste will be good but very disappointed. Taste nothing to shout about. It's not bad but definitely other place taste better. I'm not a picky eater but wonder why almost everyone praised & recommend the place? I won't go back again as there are many nicer eateries in Melaka than D&L. |
