I never knew about this popular Teochew restaurant in Malacca till I asked my colleague for food recommendations and she mentioned a certain “Teochew” restaurant that was very crowded. She had long forgotten its name but trusty Tripadvisor soon showed me that this restaurant was probably the #7 on its list – Teo Soon Loong Chan (not Tee!) We followed its advice and made reservations in the morning for dinner. Kiasu us even went to find out its exact location earlier in the day so that we won’t be late for our reservation!
Looks kinda rundown from the outside with its kitchen at the entrance! The staff were preparing food, cooking and even washing dishes in full view!
A very small restaurant with space for only around 6 tables! No wonder reservations are necessary! The friendly boss will take your orders at the left hand side where you get to choose the food items you want.
A simple set-up
I guess the food must be quite renowned as the chef was invited to cook for the late President Ong Teng Cheong when he visited Malacca!
Now on to the food! The specialty – Oyster Noodles! Very unique and not seen in Singapore at all. The oysters were fresh and the noodles full of flavour!
The pork rolls (Ngoh Hiang) were very nice, chockfull with meat!
The sweet potato leaves was very good too cos the veg was so fresh!
And that was all we were allowed to order by the boss!! We have to bring more people with us the next time so that we get to order more dishes!! But it was all good and our tummies were satisfied! :) And not forgetting desserts!
The yam paste (Orh Nee) was really smooth and not jelat at all! The mango was very fresh and sweet as well!
Loved the fruit juice we ordered! Watermelon with lime and it was so refreshing!
RM47 for our meal. Really enjoyed the meal – we will definitely be back!
