hi guys, I am going back to melaka next next weekend to celebrate valentines with my GF. Thinkinng of bringing her to renaissance's Olio Italian restaurant for a dinner. What are the price ranges over there? I know it's going to be expensive, but I am not sure how much it will be, haha.

Also considering Wok & Pan or Rock n Roll Blues Cafe because she likes western food and always complain Melaka don't have any.

Where else would you guys recommend for a nice dinner for valentines day? I'm sure many places will have promotions or things like that.

oh where is kampachi? nice place? I know u can try wa zen for japanese and atmosphere, but i prefer Sushi Ya's taste. They also have 50% off for weekdays 3pm to 6pm. I always go there to hentam their sushi, damn worth it, haha.

lol for me the best chicken rice ball in melaka is located in a small little shop in the middle of nowhere called Ho-G.

You can find it if you are on your way heading towards the Toll and are not taking the MMU way. Not sure if other ppl have tried here or not. They also serve excellent char siew and sio bak after 3PM. I think i have the picture somewhere, upload it when i have the time.

but damn long journey. KL to Melaka 2.5 hours on NSE, but from PD to Melaka also already 2.5 hours. Waste all the money on petrol.

Anybody recommend good buffet at Melaka?

Choice like very little. The Pokok Mangga one close already, Seoul Garden sien already, the place beside Purebar also sien + cramped.

Saw a new buffet place open near the town flyover at the seaside there. Looks good, but I dun dare try without someone recommending, haha.

How much is it? Is it better than Dim Sum Garden? That place is so far the best that I have eaten in Mlk.

I had it before.

OKOK only...not really special. Personally would prefer to have secret recipe any day =)

where can find good nyonya chang? wanna try also. what difference between nyonya and normal chang?

most importantly...WHERE TO FIND GOOD CHANG?? =)

haha but in melaka leh...the pasar malam got a shop sell nyonya kueh but usually quite xpensive. other than that, i dunno liao. seen before roadside got aunty selling, haha.

asked this before, but got anyplace in melaka with buffet for about RM20 per pax? sick of carry on and seoul garden

nah...tried that before also. sushi is so-so only. heard Bukit Beruang near stygix got one. Town near Bei Zhan also got, but never tried. Le Garden saw, but the food dun make me want to eat, haha.

the bukit beruang one pattern is like how de? price? maybe go there, hehe.

just drop by and see around jongker walk. got a lot of guest houses here for around that money.

I never did like Capitol. Way overrated. I always go to Ban Lee Hing. And laugh at D'Satay with their fancy decor and lack of customers.

sounds like a nice place. So far my best nyonya place is Family Heritage at Bukit Beruang, and the price is very reasonable too at about RM10 per pax most of the time I go to eat, sometimes cheaper.

Western at Family Heritage Armada really sux nowadays, service also not so good esp 1 of the girl, face black like charcoal only. Wok & Pan much better =P

is this place expensive? maybe i will try it out, hehe

Yup i'm staying at TTU.


The ikan bakar nice meh? AFAIK, I tried crystal bay de ikan bakar (ikan hantu...stingray, haha) but it was so-so only. They got a row of shops there, which on is better? I know I love their deep fried stringray (awesome, eat it with cartilage and all), udang goreng butter and deep fried sotong. Seems like all fried, haha.

Yup. It's erm, quite interesting at first, cos you are literally eating the bone of the stingray. I din know it will be nice also when my fren first recommended it to me. But after the second time, I wouldn't eat my stringray any other way =P. The cartilage becomes very soft, but not completely la, can still taste it.

I don't really buy into the whole adding plastic to make your food crispy rumour. Sounds to me like a purposely aggrandized scenario which I have heard many times. Adding tampons to curry, adding underwear to dhal, etc etc. Furthermore, the flash point for polyethylene is about 220 degrees, while hot oil is near to 250. That means all the plastic put inside would have turned to gas long before it has a chance to coat your food to make it crispy. Finally, if indeed this happened, it would no doubt leave an absolutely horrible taste and smell anybody would be able to detect, not to mention the plastic if indeed coats your food, would make it anything BUT crispy. Have you ever tried munching plastic? Not very crispy is it?

Don't believe everything you read on the internet.
