any good place to recommend to eat "big crabs" in melaka? I like crabs but cant find a place has BIG crabs. I heard Fei Li's crabs are big but that restaurant charges very expensive lah, not worth to try if too expensive...any idea? must in Melaka...

portugese settlement too expensive liao, that area is for tourists coz tourists are rich

Added on November 12, 2009, 4:07 pmlong time didnt try there liao, dunno the crabs big or not, oso dunno the price...

hey, i dun live duck mee la

xing ann ass. shop.. this name looks weird

very bad, we stay in melaka but never survey hotel rates, outstation frenz always ask me this question, i will ask them to check online

Need you all's opinions, especially Melaccan: i have a single storey intermediate terrace house in ujong pasir, currently rent to 1 family for RM400/mth, I was thinking to convert it to rumah tumpang, cheap cheap one like RM30-40 a night per room, inside got 3 rooms, target is salesmen or tourists who look for cheap accomodation, but max 2 cars park in car porch, do u think this location can get guests?

ya lo, unless salesman, not suitable for tourists who come by bus. NVM, just think only kamsiah ah...

D'satay deco not bad when i passby but never tried to eat there, dunno the taste of food. but kesian them if no customers but neighbour full house...sometimes we must believe Feng Shui

hey, never heard bout this place...

it's cheap or it's nice or both? coz I hardly find any good nyonya foods in melaka liao, all melaka raya & one in ujong pasir also not good taste alrady..

are you talking about the "Happy Satay"? The shop just reopened early this month after fire 2 months ago

The roasted chicken wings there not bad but long time didnt try there liao, dunno the price now.

Popiah & wan tan mee (they are sisters) formerly were selling at Moonluck, I love the popiah last time, dunno the taste now.

Popiah at Bkt Cina at night, same shop with the famous wan tan mee, very nice coz got ba you poh, of course not halal

I ate once at first shop, dunno what fish but cooked "tiga rasa", taste good. Sotong goreng also good.

u have suggested deep fried stingray, i will try this week coz never try b4, very crispy?

ya lo, all fried, luckily I no need to talk in the forum otherwise sure become mute very soon

ya, i heard that but they use it for goreng pisang shld be delicious

---

Added on November 18, 2009, 12:13 amya, sure will try the deep fried stingray. how to say "deep fried" in malay? is "goreng ikan hantu" good enough to order that dish?

This post has been edited by mars1069: Nov 18 2009, 12:14 AM

oh, so shld be "goreng ikan pari", thanks so "fried" & "deep fried" also "goreng" in malay, no diff, right?

Added on November 18, 2009, 8:26 ambeside Happy Satay? Will check today coz cant recall any shop beside it...

Added on November 18, 2009, 8:43 amya, the prices of food in Melaka is getting expensive, we must thank all the tourists for this great achievement

I never heard anybody talks about Melaka is a food heaven, never b4. Melaka only famous with few speciality foods like chicken rice ball, satay celup, oh jian, nyonya food, cendol...but strongly disagree with u that melaka is a food hell. Penang is a food heaven, everyone knows it but can u guarantee 100% of Penang foods are very good taste? to be honest, Penang food taste drops so much compare to last time, this is based on my own experience, visited there 10 years ago & recently. No comment on price coz price sure more expensive compare to 10 years ago & location is the factor also. Can u say KL & JB food is cheap or expensive compare to melaka or penang? u cant compare coz it's the std price in big towns. this is why salary in KL is slightly better than other places coz many tolls, car park fee expensive, high std of living...

in conclusion, melaka has many nice food & "nice" is very subjective, we think it's nice doesnt mean everyone will like it. Like the char kuih teow in melaka, we use to add "sweet sauce" (ti jiu), but northern ppl dun like it, so u cant say its not nice. when we eat char kuih teow in penang, they dun have ti jiu but we Malaccan never complained. I have a penang friend who has been staying in melaka for more than 10 yrs, she told me she found ti jiu very funny to eat with char kuih teow coz sweet but now she uses to eat with ti jiu already. if 9 persons say the food is nice, 1 says lousy, then it's still consider nice, only not suit the other 1 taste...

when i was a kid, the CRB is this big but the size now is just like big fishball.

find one day you all outstation guys come to melaka together then we Malaccan in LYN be the host to bring u guys around to try the nice foods in Melaka, also can know how we all look like

Added on November 22, 2009, 12:22 pmya, I just went there makan on last Friday night. I like the udang bakar, but not cheap, RM55/kg, i think is market price. My malay colleagues dun work part time there liao, last time he can give discount I like their coconut jelly. Steamed siakap taste not good, maybe malay style, the gravy very keruh, still feel chinese steam is nicer. ordered ikan kembong bakar kunyik, ok only. I will try ikan kembong bakar tepung next time.

The otak-otak failed, dun order. It's sweet and red color like coloring one, the worst otak-otak that I've ever had

Portugese settlement is for tourists, so u must bring your outstation frenz there to let the shops ketuk their money

The Bunga Raya O Jian is famous for "waiting", I never tried although I am a Malaccan coz they very lan si, what for I pay money to waste time and buy lan si? I recommend u try Oh Jian at Bandar Hilir, "Hong Hai" (Read Ocean), selling at roadisde in front a hawker stall before Old Newton, he formerly sell at Bandar Hilir facing ocean when Mahkota Parade & Melaka Raya was still ocean.

The CRB beside Ping Ming is the one I recommended - Lian Jie, also introduced by Ho Chak.

This post has been edited by mars1069: Nov 22 2009, 12:22 PM

The CRB beside Ping Ming (Lian Jie) is not that bad, the price is RM3.30 per person (drum stick is RM3.70 per person) but I dunno why u said the chicken meat very less, I went 2 times, latest was last month, both times also served us more chicken than rice, rice finished b4 chicken finished, so need to add rice (balls). but if u talk about chicken not soft enuf, then I got no comment coz I love chicken breast, and chicken breast is always a bit hard, so cant really compare & maybe u r right

Chung Wah CRB was the best in melaka but the quality seems drop liao, maybe their parents made was better than the 2nd generations...but it's still better than Ho Kee & Ku Chen CRB and yes, its price is very expensive, maybe due to its location.

Added on November 23, 2009, 10:20 amdun think it is the best in Malaysia, but the price really expensive. maybe I stayed there so long liao, dun think it's nice but I just remember their fried sotong & fried chicken wings are nice, many years dun go liao.

we malaccan actually dun really interested in the historical spots in melaka, only tourists love it. in fact we malaccan have never been to many historial places

makan is so much of fun coz we can try some foods in melaka that recommended by ppl here, nice or not is another issue.

for these 2 places "Cherana Puteh hot spring & also the Datuk Tua megalith stones", I oso dunno where they are located, soli

I dun like history but some histories have nice stories, so if we dunno the history or story behind, there is no point to visit the tourist spots, after all, they are just buildings...I remember when I visited Beijing, I went to Forbidden City, it looks so familiar to me coz I used to see them in movies & know its history Anyway, Melaka's history I still not bad la, at least I can bring my outstation frenz around with some explanation like a tour guide

Added on November 23, 2009, 3:35 pmJonker walk day time very hot, night time very crowded but I like the atmosphere there I have a frenz sell jagung there at night, one night can sell average 10-20 cups only per night, pity & respect him coz he still go there to open stall together with his gf every weekend after work although makes few ringgit only
