Authentic Nyonya Laksa and Pai Tee in Malacca


The two superheroes were back in home sweet home, Malacca last weekend for more foodie adventures and of course, to visit Superhero Mum. *smiles*

Since we've already feasted on 2 rounds of super-delicious Yong Tau Foo the last time we went back, so we decided to fly over to Tengkera for the best authentic Nyonya Laksa and kuehs around.



Don't look down on this barely-anything stall because they have been here for decades! Yeah. And you think no one would actually notice this little corner shop by the side of a little road? Well, in Malacca, news of good food travels FAST.


Just like when we came here early in the morning, this place has only 2 other tables of customers. Right after we finished our meal, the whole place got so crowded with the consistent streams of customers.





Superhero W ordered their Nasi Lemak, priced at RM2.50. Check it out. Love the kangkung!!!



Superhero S and her Superhero Mum both ordered their signature Nyonya Laksa, priced at RM3.50 each. The uncle recommended us another of their signature orders, Pai Tee, which is actually Top Hat.

The Laksa is as authentic as it can get, and the portion is just perfect for me. Not so sure if it's enough to feed others. I have a small tummy, remember? Hahahhah... *wink* Quite spicy, but that's why it's delicious. Hot and spicy! Yummmmm....!! :p



The Pai Tee came soonafter.




Looks like it has those popiah fillings, topped with shreded eggs, cucumbers and lotsa fried shallots. We took a bite out of that little Top Hat and it's absolutely delicious!!! The outer "shell" is crispy and the popiah filling is really superb. This is a must-try! The Pai Tee is priced at RM3 for 5 pieces.


The best thing about eating in this open-air shop is the whole ambience actually. Imagine eating amidst all these greenery.


With the gentle wind caressing your face (giving u an air-y facial!), downing that bowl of HOT laksa is truly a satisfying adventure! :p


P/S: Chef Y, next time when there's a chance, we'll bring u here ok? Haha.. :p

Ginger Spring Onion Chicken Rice at Pulau, Off Jalan Tun Razak


The two superheroes' favourite place for lunch would always have to be either the Malay stall or the Chinese stall at Pulau, Off Jalan Tun Razak, opposite Menara Celcom.

Since Superhero S would always be calling for her Yin Yong (Cantonese fried koey teow mixed with deep-fried bee hoon) when they are eating at the Chinese stall, she decided to go for something else on the menu this time around.

And so, Superhero S ordered her Ginger Spring Onion Chicken Rice, while Superhero W ordered his favourite Fried Rice.

Our food arrived after waiting for 15 minutes. At times, when this place is really crowded, you really gotta be prepared to wait because there's only one chef in the kitchen. But the wait is always well worth it because the food is consistently good here. Here's my Ginger Spring Onion Chicken with Rice.




The plate of chicken is really pretty big actually. Even the chicky portion is generous, which is to be expected because the people here really don't mind feeding you with lotsa ingredients inside the dishes. Even the rice is a big plateful. Told the uncle to reduce my portion but instead he told me to eat more, EAT MORE.

And here's Superhero W's Fried Rice.



Another big big plate of fried rice! Very very appetising indeed! Haha... simple yet flavourful.. :p

Haha. Both dishes are really good. They're even more delicious when you order an additional egg to complement the entire meal. *drools...*

For the Ginger Spring Onion Chicken Rice, the chicken + rice + egg = RM 6. That's fine with me! :p
