I walked in and asked for recommendation. The waitress recommended chicken ponthe. It was the first item stated in the menu, so I expected it was one of the chef recommendations. Arghhh.... What a terrible dish! Chicken in black sauce and it tasted kinda sweet. I just can't appreciate it. Besides, there are flies in the restaurant and it was... More

The restaurant has seen a change in management and unfortunately, a change in quality of food for the worse. While some dishes such as the itik tim soup still retains its signature sourness, others which can be considered basic and essential dishes to get right (ie sambal, fried fish) has declined in quality. Certainly hope there will be improvements made... More

This restaurant serves the worst nyonya food in Melaka. The worst of the worst. I rather endure physical pain than come here again. The sambal prawns and chicken rendang were disappointing. Just spicy and lack of flavour. Very small portions and not worth the price too. The barley drink has definitely seen better days. There was a hair in it.... More

We came here for lunch as Ole Sayang was highly rated. But we found the food was rather average. It wasn't bad, it was just ordinary.

Waiting time about 25 minutes, The waitress was caring enough to recommended signature food and some other food that suit all age group... More

I would say the food was nice - But try all their spicy food, the non spicy food was just average. And the Cendol is must try! The price is cheap if your didn't order Fish but you should try the fish so the total bill might surprise you.

We had an excellent intro to perankan food here and later found out that locals regard it as one of the best restaurants in town!

This is indeed one of the best peranakan restaurant ever! They serve a couple of authentic dishes, made so well that I'll do whatever I need for the recipe! The pineapple fish was fragrant, gorgeous and super yummy. Even a simple dish such as cucumber with sambal had a wonderful lift because they added slivers of ginger flowers (bunga kentang)... More

We went for dinner on a Friday and the place was crowded. But there were enough tables because there was another unit space next to it available for dinning. I loved the Assam Fish!! Comparable to the popular Makko restaurant in terms of price and service. Cheap and Good food.
