Fatpapa goes Malacca (I)

Chiak Ba Boh?

Fatpapa has went international wor! These are a series of ground breaking reviews done on a recent trip (food expedition in fact :P) up north to our friendly neighbours in Malacca. Left Singapore around 10am and reached Malaccca just in time for lunch at around 12:30pm. First stop comes highly recommeded by my parents, a nice swanky restaurant near Century Mahkota (see map below - at Melaka Raya) by the name of 北栈 (Bei Zhan - North Resthouse). Saw reviews of this restaurant in some local food magazine, so the food must be quite good.

The food didn't disappoint. We had sambal fish (whole fish!), 扣肉包, ee fu noodles, sambal kangkong, prawns (or tou fu i tink)...all for around $90 malaysian ringgit. That's around $45 singapre dollars....super cheap for 4 ah! And considering that this is a pretty upmarket place in Malacca - heard u need to make reservations for dinner on weekends, very good value for money! The fish is super fresh, the meat sweet and got 海的味道...excellent quality. The 扣肉包 - yummy! comparable if not better to 西湖's (see earlier review). The ee fu noodles are 招牌菜 and lived up to its name. Sambal Kangkong - spicy belacan with a nice wok hei....woah salivating as i am writing this...

Next time in Malacca, do go try....this one comes highly recommended!
