Braised spare ribs is pretty alright . Only thing is the bones were brittle so it was a little annoying while having to watch out from bitting into bones ??‍♀️

Stir fry Sweet potato leaf with pumpkin is yummy 🙂

The ambience is excellent for a meal. Bright white setting increases one’s appetite! Food is also good after a day’s tour in town!

Had dinner here upon reaching Malacca. Majestic architecture and interior design. Clean, bright and welcoming.

Fried spinach with pumpkin: the spinach is deep-fried, not stir-fried, so it was too oily for me

Fried chicken with salted egg yolk is well-liked.

It’s giant Chinese foods restaurant that serves all varieties of local delicacies and vegatarian foods as well. To be honest, I found their foods are much more tastier before they changed to this new location.

This was our first visit to Melaka and our family was delighted that our tour guide brought us to this restaurant. The food, service and decor were great and we would definitely come back if we are ever in Melaka again.

    We had dinner at this restaurant. The place is very clean with a pleasant decor. Seating is on the ground floor with private rooms upstairs. Our order was quickly taken and food served soon after. The three egg dish was very good as was the beans, which were fresh and crunchy. The tofu with mushroom and vegetables was flavourful. Service was attentive and we had a pleasant meal here.

    1. Pretty decent local chinese tze char food. We had the signature fried fish head steamboat and the roasted suckling pig.

      The food was not overly seasoned with salt/msg and service was prompt.

      I particularly enjoyed the fish steamboat. The soup had a tangy spiciness to it and the fish was pretty fresh.

    2. Loved both the service and the food. I was only with my 6 year old and they did the portions of of the food perfectly. My son loved every dish too even though he’s not the best of eaters! We ordered sweet and sour fish, 青龙菜,oyster noodles and a soup. Sounds like a lot right but perfectly portioned and we finished all.

      2022 update: the staff are very good with portions and will caution you. I was even asked when paying whether we really ate all that food as we ordered 7 dishes for 2 adults and 2 kids. Oops… We wanted to try more. Good value, good solid cooking. Although we were somewhat disappointed with the yang Chow Fried rice it didn’t deter from the rest of the dishes.

    3. My family and I have frequented this restaurant for years. It was recommended to us by a Malacca local. We love this place and will remain repeat customers.

    4. Went after 1pm in Malacca, saw from google reviews that it was still opened, so had a try. The restaurant is old, a bit of that smell… but nvm, its the food that counts and we think the food is nice ?

    5. Visited the restaurant for the first time; the food was great. Mdm Tan, the restaurant owner, was friendly and patient in serving us. More importantly, the prices were reasonable. Highly recommended for a restaurant with great traditional and authentic food.
