malacca.
Hotter than a barbeque on the surface of the sun, Malacca has at least some redeeming factors. Those factors are food. In between the red churches, winding canals and pretty houses are some truly exceptional eateries. However, for those who don't mind venturing further afield, read up on where to dine in the guide below!
From backroom Wonton mee to buttery croissants, punk gigs in warehouses, nyonya laksa a mile and a half (or twenty minutes) away, Taiwanese pork chops and beef noodle soups, congee to summon the Gods, it's all here to find.
If you enjoy eating hot food in a sauna, then Melaka is just the place for you. Plagued by incessant humidity, this seaside town hardly gets a whiff of cooling winds, however the food scene slightly placates the intensity.
Melaka may not strike most people as a coffee destination, but there are a few geeks hiding in the shadows ready to dazzle you with a Peruvian Geisha, a nice floral Ethiopian pourover or a solid espresso. This guide focuses more on the quality of coffee and not the potential for filming a viral tiktok post in an old shopfront. For those kinda guides you're definitely barking up the wrong tree.
