A taste of Malacca
There is something for everyone
here in terms of food. You may
need a seafood feast to banish
those hunger pangs that have
been nagging at you. The Seafarer
Restaurant in Tanjung Kling is
the place to be. With selections
of fresh seafood and an even
fresher sea breeze gently stroking
your face while you are sitting by
the beach enjoying your meal, it
is not hard to see why Seafarer
Restaurant is very popular among
the locals and tourists. Two of
the most highly recommended
dishes here are the
Nyonya-style
Steamed Fish
and
Chilli Crab
.
Both dishes are cooked with a
special seasoning to tantalise your
taste buds. The food prices are
very reasonable and the bartender
at the restaurant’s Baba Beach Bar
makes ‘killer’ cocktails, but in a
good way.
The city might be a few
centuries old, but in my book,
each visit to Malacca is always
special and I will keep going back
for more.
