Bnadar Melaka, Malacca, Malaysia｜Jonker Kitchen

Loved the food here. It's a very small restaurant that can fit maybe 30-40 people. We got waited to our table by a very nice lady staff. When we ordered our food, the service was really good as the chef recommended some dishes to us. We had a good short chat with him too. The food was really really good. Surpassed my expectations from a small shop. It was so good that I ordered 2 portions of rice just to finish it whole. Although the portion is slightly small, it was filling when you order more dishes. A really good place to try out if you're visiting Malacca.

The cendol is so delicious as the gula melaka is very fragrant and not too sweet to my taste. I like it very much. The pongteh chicken is nice too. The portion is not big but still acceptable. The prawn is fresh and big Need to mention the boss is very friendly too. Only the waiting time for the food a bit long.

Honestly, before visiting malaysia, I had zero clues about what Nyonya cuisine was all about. But let me tell you, it was an absolute revelation – love at first bite, indeed! Big shoutout to Hari, Gaja, and Ammini for dragging us to Jonker Kitchen in Melaka. This place is a hidden gem! It's a small, cozy spot that might not catch your eye at first, but the flavors they pack are nothing short of amazing. I'm going to be real here – I had no idea what we ordered, but every single dish was a hit. The prawn in sambal? Incredible. The spice level was just right, adding a zesty kick without overpowering the prawns. Then, there was this big fish curry – (the name sounded like asam something, promise to add proper names the next time we visit) absolutely mind-blowing! Rich, hearty, and packed with flavors that just danced on my tongue. And there was the the brinjal dish – an absolute delight. The vibe of the place was just as delightful as the food. The staff were super friendly, and when we cheekily asked for a complimentary dish, they surprised each of us with a bowl of cendol. What a sweet end to an already fantastic meal! If I had to nitpick, my only complaint would be my own stomach capacity. I wish I could have tried more of their incredible dishes! To wrap it up, Jonker Kitchen is a must-visit if you're in Melaka. Can't wait to go back and explore more of their menu!
