Lovely entrance of Donald & Lily's Nyonya Food Restaurant

In 2010 trip to Melaka with my friends, Donal & Lily's Nyonya Food Restaurant is one of our stop for Nyonya food. We ordered their Nyonya Laksa and Mee Siam to try.Nyonya Laksa (RM 3.50)
I quite like the Nyonya Laksa because it is not spicy and and the soup is creamy as it was cooked with lots of santan (coconut milk). Among the ingredients given were kerang, tauge, tau pok and some sliced egg. Mee Siam (RM 3.50)
This is my first time having the wet version of Mee Siam. Usually in KL, I always have the dry version. The mee siam itself is already sourish and spicy but after squeezing the lime juice onto the Mee Siam, the dish became more appetizing. The Mee Siam comes with sliced omelette, sliced fish cakes, fried shallots and julienned cucumber. These pictures hung on the wall gives a homey feeling to the restaurant.

Donald & Lily’s Nyonya Food is a small nice outlet situated at the back of Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock which is within walking distance from the Melaka Town Centre. As can be seen from the above picture, the restaurant is decorated with many beautiful decorations which I liked it very much. Nyonya Laksa, Ayam Pongteh, Curry Asam Fish and Taukua Rojak are some of the popular Nyonya food available in Donald and Lily's.

While I was there with my friends, we tried their Ayam Pongteh as our lunch. Ayam Pongteh is actually a chicken dish braised with potato, soya sauce and gula Melaka. Ayam Pongteh (RM 6.50)
The chicken meat was braised until tenderly without being too soft. I loved the slight sweet gravy accompanying the flavorful chicken. I also like to eat the huge cubes of potatoes because they are soaked with the lovely gravy. But please eat the chicken together with rice because they are a bit salty when eaten on its own.
Plain rice with some cabbage to eat with Ayam Pongteh
I ordered an extra plate of rice to eat because the gravy was good to eat with just plain rice...yummy yummy......

Had lunch with mum, aunt and cousin at Wai Kee Restaurant. The purpose is of course to try out their famous Yong Tau Foo. Although Wai Kee is famous for its Hakka food, the Yong Tau Foo is not made the Hakka way. The Yong Tau Foo's fillings were made of pure fish paste instead of the Hakka way of mixed pork and fish paste.10 pieces of assorted Yong Tau Foo

We ordered 10 pieces of Yong Tau Foo which consisted of chilli, brinjal, "foo chuk", bittergourd & "taufu pok". The fish paste portion given in each piece of stuffed Yong Tau Foo were generous because the Yong Tau Foos were fully stuffed with tasty fish paste and the fish paste were slightly springy. The Yong Tau Foos are served on a plate of light soy sauce. Each piece of the yong tau foo is RM 1.00.Stuffed chilli, bittergourd and taufu pok.
My favourite is the bittergourd because the bitter gourd's bitter taste is so good with the fish paste.

P/S: Please be there early or you will have to wait for a while before being getting a table as the place is especially packed during lunch hours and also prepare to wait for your food to arrive. We waited for about 20 minutes for the food to arrive.

Pasta Zanmai is a Japanese restaurant under the SuperSushi group which serves Japanese + Western fusion food. Following are the drinks and pizza my friends and I had while we were there.Hot Green Tea (R 3.00)
The green tea is of good quality as it has very strong green tea taste.Bluberry soda & Passion fruit soda before mixing
Both the blueberry and passion fruit soda are pariced at RM 6.00 each.Bluberry soda & Passion fruit soda after mixing
Nothing to shout about these drinks. Tasted like ordinary soft drinks.Teriyaki chicken pizza (I think is around RM 20-22)
This pizza is a lovely combination of Japanese and Western flavor. It is very different from pizzas from Pizza Hut or Dominos. The crust is crispy and thin, almost like biscuit. The pizza was topped with a hot spring egg, seaweeds and teriyaki chicken. Mayonnaise was used as dressing, making the pizza creamy. The tender chicken meats were marinated nicely with teriyaki sauce making them slight sweet in taste.Hot Spring Egg
It is best to break this hot spring egg when the pizza is hot and mix with the other pizza toppings to have a yummy pizza. It is really worth trying out this pizza.........thumbs up...........

Mum and I had our dinner at Wai Kei today and we returned home with a stomach full of good food. Following are the goodies that we had today:Stir-fried Kai Lan (RM 8.00)
This is our only green for the night. Though just plain stir fried, the kai lan is not bad. It is full of chopped garlic, making it vey fragrant. It has the so-called "wok hei"....hehe.........Stuffed beancurd skin @ foo chuk with fish paste (RM 1.00 each piece)
The bean curd skin was deep fried until golden yellow. And it is very crispy.Lots of yummy fish paste were stuffed inside the foo chuk. Ginger Wine Chicken (RM22.00)
As a person who love dishes with wine, I really liked this dish because it came withgenerous amount of wine. I drank all the soup because it is good to drink on its own. The ginger wine chicken also came with large amount of julienned ginger, wolfberries and fried omelette. Thumbs up...Close shot of the fried omelette....I think there are 2 eggs being given...........The meaty chicken in the wine soup is tender, juicy and rich in wine taste. After consuming this dish, my face actually became sligthly red and hot.....lol...........
