Everything about Portuguese settlement Melaka!

Address: Batu Berendam Lot 4, Medan Selera Portuguese Settlement, Ujong Pasir, Melaka, Malaysia

Be ready for aggressive touting but the seafood at Portuguese Settlement is worth the hassle!


If it's raining don’t go. If you are not driving, maybe don't go too. Not sure how easy is it to get GRAB there too.

And don't go during lunch, there is nothing.

BUT if you drive, parking is ample. Fee of RM2

With baby, our recommendation is to steam some corn and bring over. 

 Many of the best dishes are spicy and cleanliness is not the highest there!


Recommend to browse around and bargain.

If you don’t like bargaining then go stall 1 (where quality has been consistent but a little more pricey – crab is good but about RM90/kg)
Price is negotiable for the other stalls! What they list there can be bargained. So if you're game for bargaining go stall 2,3 or 88!
There is coconut shake stand at the cornet there, must try! RM3 per cup for fresh mango juice with plum.

TRIP dec2018 – Stall 2: Best crab?

Sea bass fish RM60/KG
Burnt crab RM70/KG (think it might be the best amongst the many stalls)
Total bill RM97

Stall 3: Joint best portuguese chilli fish?


Mrs said the sea bass fish with chilli is the best in this stall. Enough onions to go along!

We also ordered burnt brinjal which is yummy!

Stall 88: Joint best portuguese chilli-fish and kang kong has fish cake!

Possibly our best overall in our 20visits there (no joke)!

 What we ordered: Prices can be bargained take note
Pepper crab (Boss recommended and said burnt crab lacks taste haha) : RM60/kg x 0.5kg
Fish (Je-nak sea bass but its not the Parrot fish): RM60 x 0.7kg
Kang kong and black pepper brinjal
Total only RM $97!

Check out Portuguese Settlement for it's Christmas celebrations!

Kidzoona Melaka (Indoor Playground) review! | Why it's a superb playground for young kids!

Image
The Kidzoona playground can be found on level 2 of Mahkota Parade which is just beside Hatten Hotel. Absolute visit for us and the little one has been there already like 10 times or something? haha. It’s also unlimited entry for a day whohoo =) THE BEST part of this indoor playground is that it’s located in a mall! I'd go shopping while hubby plays with him there. The moment we reach the entrance, mummy will go off on a bout of shopping herself, usually at Mr DIY (sadly, this has closed the last time we went. but there’s always the one opposite at Dahlaran Palawan). The other reason why we frequent it is that this indoor playground  will be virtually empty in the mornings at 10am. BTW, this kidzoona outlet closes at 10pm. And I like that it is quite clean and well maintained. It also has enough segments to entertain your kids from babies to young pri sch age kids. Slides for babies Toys for 1year olds Ball pits for toddlers    ...

Why we rate Aunty Fatso Restaurant highly! | Bubble tea bonus tip!

Image
Aunty Fatso Restaurant is now amongst our TOP recommendations for dinner in Melaka! However, you will need a car to get here as most good hotels are NOT near this Jalan KLJ area. It must be said that there are now quite a few eateries here. Hence, you would also find the delightful cheese beehoon here also. Apparently (unconfirmed), its a sister of  Restaurant Tong Sheng? Wow! We ordered fried squid and egg in addition to the cheese beehoon.  Both were also fantastic! Value for money: 5/5 Taste: 5/5 Comfort and service 4/5 We've came and its relatively fast and we've ever came before where there was some queue Nowadays we eat at Aunty Fatso Restaurant more than at Tong Sheng Restaurant. We visited again in Aug2019 By now they have a menu. Signature River Prawan Cheese Mee-Hoon RM30 was a little small for the 3 of us but it's ok, we ordered other stuff. Crab is about RM108/kg if you are keen. Some people on tripadvisor were disap...

Best Taiwanese Noodle in Melaka? Hing Loong Taiwanese Noodles 兴隆台湾麵馆, little known noodle heaven!

Image
This has always been on our must try list but we didn’t manage to dine there due to the crazy crowds and difficult parking. Finally, one day we decided for me to hop off the car to da bao the beef noodles. While waiting for my order, I was tempted by waves and waves of delicious aroma from the hundreds of deep fried pork chop being freshly cooked in front of me. And it’s only RM4!!  Of course I succumbed to temptation! It’s really delicious too! When Hubby found out the price, he lamented, ” What?! Why didn’t you buy 10?!” The dry beef noodles too, even though we only managed to eat it after 1hr was still good. The herbs and spices reminds me of the beef noodles that we had in Taiwan. Not the beef ball noodle with the thick gravy kind that we get locally. Since then, we’ve made it a point to try to dine here every trip. Eaten fresh on the spot, the beef noodles were even more delicious. We’ve also tried the pork and chicken Zhajiang  noodles but they were ...
