Another die-die-must-try food in Malacca is Peranakan food. From what I heard, there are 3 places with lots of Peranakans and they are Singapore, Malacca and Penang. They are all ports-of-call with lots of trade going on and with Chinese traders staying long periods at those areas, inter-racial marriages were bound to occur!
There are many popular Peranakan restaurants in Malacca and we decided to try out the one rated #13 on Tripadvisor’s list of restaurants in Malacca – Nancy’s Kitchen. It’s not difficult to find, just walk down Jonker Walk on the left hand side till you see Geographer Cafe. Then turn left in, walk a short distance down that street (Jalan Hang Lekir) and you will find Nancy’s Kitchen on your right hand side. But do keep your eyes peeled for it as it’s so nondescript you may just miss it!

Very cosy old-fashioned feel
Now check out the food!
I love the otak! So fresh and tasty!
The pork pongteh was my favourite dish! The pork was so tender with just the right amount of fat. The potatoes were so soft and filled with flavour! The sauce was so delicious I couldn’t stop scooping it over my rice!
The cinchalok omelette was not bad too!
The only disappointing dish was the belachan kang kong.
All four dishes with rice and two drinks cost RM45. Cheap and good!
Our tummies were too full for anything else but I heard the kuehs and changs are nice too. Maybe next time! :)
P.S. Ooh.. I think there's a typo on the namecard.. we were there for dinner around 6:30pm so I would think that their normal business hours are from 11am - 9:30pm!
