Avoid Melaka please

[Pinkieslut]

Boring, inauthentic Peranakan cuisine everywhere (halal no pork), even hotter than Sinkieland, place look run down, Peranakans mostly gone with abandoned old houses. Don’t waste your time.

Dont waste your time.

The place is now Islamized, most of the Peranakan/Chinese/Indians have left, less than 10% based on my observation of local street people.

Majority of the restaurants at Halal especially the Jonker Street shops. I walked in this restaurant "Atlantic Nonya" and left after reading the menu, which is really selling non-pork Malay food than real Nonya cuisine. You will not find "traditional" dishes like Ngo Hiang or Buah Keluak chicken in many of these restaurants.

The food is rubbish, tourist traps. There might be some good non Halal on fringes of the city, but nothing mind blowing.

You better off eating Peranakan cuisine at the modern cafes in KL.

The old Peranakan houses in Jonker area are not well maintained, many are abandoned, some are on verge of collapse from decay.

The trishaw drivers blast their irritating music (including Islamic Prayers), zooming fast and dangerously. There is this Islamic lodge right infront of the crossing to Jonker, also blasting weird prayer like songs (?) disturbing the peace of the already crowded place.

The "Historical" sites are not impressive, that Portuguese fort is so tiny (versus old fort like buildings you see in China and Europe), makes you wonder the Melakans (Bumi) must be CMI. No wonder their descendants can easily sign over Singapore to the Raffles through an exchange of opium, and the whole Malayia sign off to the British for pennies LOL.

Finally, the city is really hot and humid with bad air because of overcongested roads.

Melaka is fucking ugly looking, no culture decaying city. No wonder these Mats are not so desperate as they opening doors wide open for Tiongs.

..speaking from Personal experience,

PLEASE, DO NOT BELIEVE THESE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS !

The Agenda of Many in social Media, is simply to Sell
I was recently in Melaka, and find the Old,Original Soul of the place displaced by Expat Chinks,
the Place has been Plasticized by too many Shallow Tourist Traps

forget Melaka & Penang. Ipoh will soon follow their path to demise. go look for smaller & more laid back towns.

Like you mentioned, the lack of authentic Peranakan food was really disappointing—so many places just serve halal Malay dishes with a “Nonya” twist. It felt like a tourist trap rather than a place for good, traditional eats. I also agree with the whole vibe of the city—historical sites that seemed more hyped up than impressive and a lot of areas that seemed to be in decay. It’s unfortunate because the potential for a vibrant, multicultural city is there, but it feels like it’s lost in time. I recently read a report about crime and safety in Fort Worth, which I thought was interesting to compare—while no place is perfect, it’s reassuring to know that Women don't really face larger risks there compared to other cities. Makes me appreciate the places that are still welcoming and relatively safe.

Lots of Chinese & Nonya restaurants in MY now are “muslim friendly”

I recommend Restoran Aunty Lee which may not impress with its decor, but its distinctive purple and white entrance is hard to miss. Inside, the restaurant has a cosy, old-fashioned feel, like dining at your grandma's home. The food is traditional Peranakan, served simply and without pretence, but packed with flavour. The kitchen focuses on the love and passion that goes into home-style Nyonya cooking. The generous portions, affordable prices and delicious food make Aunty Lee's a perfect spot for a comfort food while in Melaka.

got it. thanks for warning. Life doesn’t slow down for anyone, and sometimes the smartest thing you can do is delegate. That’s exactly what I did with my most recent essay, and academized https://academized.com/thesis-writing-service totally delivered. The paper was polished and professional, and I didn’t have to stay up all night working on it. Genuinely grateful for the breathing space they gave me this week

Just a down to earth review when the food blows me away. I have no share in this restaurant.

If you only have time for 1 Peranakan restaurant meal in Penang, Auntie Gaik Lean's Old School Eatery is a must try. I am also not advertising, but giving my honest opinion.

My family has not visited Melaka for almost 10 years, but we still go up to Penang either by car or plane. Even though we visited so many times, Penang does not disappoint when it comes to food, Thai massages, traditional snacks and relatively cheap shopping. It is still far better than visiting Melaka, which appears rundown and has small town vibes similar to Ipoh.
