Question about Malacca

[Eviltrap]

My wife and I will be going this Friday. Think this is the 5-6th visit since we first drove there back in 2009.

We accidentally came upon Rong Mao, but we were not impressed by the food there. Have yet to be able to find the exact location of Nancy's Kitchen.

Hoe Kee is our preferred chicken rice ball.

This time, we will be hunting for the Ban Lee Xiang Satay Celup.

Anyone knows where to find authentic nonya kuehs and such? My wife heard there is one shop, but dunno where is it located.

One of the nicest ayam tandoori and nann can be found here.

yup, this shop is famous of its Tandorri, and it opens until 2am to 3am daily.. It is at jalan kota laksama, it is walking distance from jonker street

If go to the next major road - parallel to Fenix Inn road
Can eat at Amy's Cuisine - shiok nyonya food

If along same road further down from Fenix Inn - can find Makoh & Ole Sayang

For Nancy's Kitchen at Jonker area
we loved the porpiar there - sedap !!!!

The safest place would be park at home and take a coach there.
No one in this forum would tell you where is safe.
Even if someone said its safe, but eventually your car got stolen, you'll be cursing him.
I've been to Malacca more than 20 times and so far so good.
Com'mon, No risk, no gain.
Like the same old saying, scared just stay at home.

But please excuse my ignorance if you are driving Ferrari or Lamborghini...
Even so, there are other cars more flashy and expensive to be targeted.

In short, ONLY drive there if you are comfortable...

Malacca city is quite small only lah, can walk around by foot. Except the Melaka Sentral bus terminal is a few km away.

[beanstalk6]

Google Maps gives you the route, distance and expected walking time.

depends how fast you walk lor. Usually from 20 minutes to 30 minutes. You just cross the traffic light and walk towards Palawan Mall and towards Casa De Rio Hotel and cross the bridge beside it and there you reach Jonker Street.

We have been to malacca few times and so far we didn't drive or take any cab. We just parked our car at the hotel and walk.

around 10 minutes, you will passby the red church and cross the melaka river bridge (got OCBC bank nearby), then you will see the end of jonker walk (against traffic flow)

Hi everyone,

Can someone kindly recommend the most spacious and comfortable bus as we will be heading there with elderly people?

TripAdvisor.com actually say Konsortium and First Coach is not good? Narrow seats?

Also, is Equatorial hotel recommended?
Thanks!
