Pai Tee/Pie Tee


Also known as top hats, Pai Tee is a crunchy flour cup filled with julienned vegetables, omelet and fried shallots. These tiny treats went very well with the chili sauce provided. Simply pop it into your mouth and enjoy its crunchiness.

Price : RM 4.00 per serving

Klebang Coconut Milkshake


Coconut milkshake at Klebang in the list of best Melaka refrshment. The recipe looks simple. It is a concoction of coconut water, flesh, ice cube and vanilla ice cream blended together in a mixer. The natural sweet and creamy aftertaste with smoothie-like texture are soooo refreshing that one serving is not enough for me. People love to drink this even on the rainy days. So imagine what would happen during the sweltering days

Fried Oysters


It’s called “fried oyster omelet” too – due to the big amount of eggs. Oysters are fresh and although not big in size, the generous amount makes up for it.  The eggs are simply delicious. Fried oysters can be found in some Melaka food courts and the one that I like most is at the Bunga Raya Food Court.
RM3.00 per plate

Asam Pedas Fish



The main ingredients of this dish is fish/seafood, ladyfinger, eggplant, long green bean and tomato. This dish is cooked in asam (tamarind) juice with chili and different spices. The cooking process involves soaking the pulp of the tamarind fruit until it is soft and then squeezing out the juice for cooking the fish/seafood. This is the signature dish of the state. A very hot and mild sour fish curry making it very appetizing and is best to go with white rice. I normally eat it during lunch and dinner.

RM 5.00 per dish

Nyonya Laksa


 This Laksa uses fresh thick rice noodles, which can be easily found at most Asian's grocers. The mild curry coconut soup is made of spice paste, pounded dried shrimps, coconut milk, chicken broth, and pandan leaves. When ready to serve, just ladle the curry soup onto the noodles and sprinkle with a generous amount of bean sprouts, tofu puffs, prawns, fish cakes, hard-boiled eggs, Daun Kesum (or Vietnamese mint), chili sauce, and some Kalamansi lime juice.

Price : RM 4.50
