Mama Lissa's is the only Penang eaterie (that I know of) that is serving genuine Melaka cuisine on the island. It has a nice semi alfresco ambience with the circular wall surrounding the dining area with plants.

We ordered their signature nasi lemak set with their Melaka spicy fried chicken, ayam rendang & Portuguese green curry & all were very tasty dishes.

The nasi lemak was smooth with a distinct coconut & pandan aroma & the accompanying sambal gave a slightly spicy kick that was just enough for lovers of this favourite Malaysian dish. The Melaka fried chicken was really really tasty, warning!! it's so nice it makes you want to order more!!! I highly recommend! (tip# ask them to fry fresh chicken as it makes all the difference:-)

The Portuguese Green curry was a tasty alternative dish I not try before & it was a very pleasant satisfying dish that was easy on the taste buds.

The Ayam Rendang is a Melaka classic & Mama Lissa's did it justice by serving a very tasty dish that tasted far better than it looked on the plate!!!
