There was once a very nice he kiau mee located in front of Ramada hotel (Now Renaissance) however closed down years ago properly due to Ali Rustam Clean Melaka campaign
Recently, I noticed 1 stall advertising Ramada He Jiau mee inside Newton Food Garden GPS: N2 11.406 E102 14.858 (In front of the new Taming Sari Tower) & he advertised themselve as the Ramada He Kiau mee...but I can tell u, the taste totally out from the Olden day Ramada He Kiau mee I last tasted about 18 years ago..
They is another of my childhood He Kiau mee previously located in front of St Peter Church & now moved to nearby Ping Ming primary school at Jln Pengkalan Rama (I think now Jln Tun Sri Lanang - GPS N2 12.359 E102 15.194)....I revisited this He Kiau mee in early 2000 & mind u the quality dropped as well. Probably too much of Penang Fish ball mee in Klang Valley which is much better taste than those in Melaka
Few years bck, I was recommneded to a newer & famous Yong Peng He Kiau mee located at Melaka Raya at N2 11.199 E102 15.466 . Tasted it last year & much better than the last 2. But I still find nothing close to Penang style Saito fish ball keuh teow Thng either in Klang Valley/Penang...
In Melaka, the only food I really like are:
1) Satay Celup (Although some find it dirty) - The best..it's 1/2 the price of Lok-lok in KL!
2) Wantan Mee located at Jln Nunga Raya & another 2 at Lrg Bkt Cina (These wantan mee is without dark soya saurce but wth minced meat & lotsa chilli..something like Sarawak Konlok. nice)
3) Chun Wah Hainanese Chicken rice ball...The rice & the chilli is still the best in M'sia but the chicken although is good but I dun really like Steam chicken

)
4) Fried oyster - The Bunga Raya sidelane Fried qster & the one located at Jonker Street Pasar Malam.
Other than above, the food in Melaka is so-so only compare wth those in Klang Valley & Penang
Other than Food (Abit OT) do check out latest current & upcoming attraction in Melaka:
1) Taming Sari Tower (110m high to rival KL Tower & Alor Setar tower....The best part is this tower is circulating & allow viewer a 360 view of whole Melaka & abit of Pulau Rupat Sumetera (I think I saw the coastline

) Price RM10 adult child RM5 (For MyKard only. Others double)
2) Midleburg Fort Located at the supposely old location of Menara Taming Sari (Near the clock tower)....Almost completed during my Raya trip)
3) Melaka River make-over....boy the river really transformed from a dark waterway into greenish clear river much cleaner than Sg Klang! weldone to the govt of Melaka...

anyone tried fish ball noodle soup ('he kiau mee') that is nice? location and wherabouts? mind to share?[/QUOTE]
I like the He Kiao Mee in Jalan Tengkera and the one near Ping Ming Primary School in Jalan Tun Sri Lanang, Nearby also got very nice duck noodle.
There is another Wantan Mee (Colourless) opposite Sekolah Tun Tuah in Jalan Kampung Lapan (I think all the 3 colourless Wantan mee seller are related) me and my cousins normally call the wantan mee in Kampung Lapan as "Yao Tou Mien" (ecstasy noodle -.-''' )
Satay celup = i prefer that old shop in Ong Kim Wee
Satay = the one in Kota Laksamana
Bak Kut Teh = I like the one that is used to be in Jalan Taming Sari called "Piao Xiang" Ever since its closure, I never really had any Bak Kut Teh as good as that, even the teo chew bak kut teh in Melaka raya just can't beat it...
for Halal Chinese food, I recommend Long Feng Chinese Restaurant in Renaissance aka Ramada (awarded as one of the best Chinese restaurant in Malaysia for many years now by Malaysian Tatler)
the Sweet & Sour Chicken is the best ever, even beat many if not all Sweet & Our Pork.
Italian food, can try Olio in Renaissance hotel as well. Best Italain restaurant in Town

(However I still prefer the previous Capers[now Olio] east meet west concept restaurant that won many awards as well)
For nice Thai food, you can try the one in Kings Hotel opposite Pantai Hospital, nice food and environment (there is a pretty Thai girl there as well

)
