Peranakan Cuisine 

 

When you think of Melaka food, you cannot forget the Peranakan food, known simply as ‘Nyonya’ food. The Nyonya style of cooking is a fusion of spicy and sweet, which mixes Chinese and Malay ingredients and recipes. 

 

Among the signature Peranakan dishes are the sweet-spicy assam laksa, curry kapitan chicken, assam curry fish, satay celup, and sweet bubur cha-cha, to name a few. Most of the dishes gain their trademark taste with a hint of coconut milk. 

 

There are numerous restaurants around Melaka serving these delicious, mouth-watering dishes. Just take a deep breath while walking around town and catch a whiff of the appetizing delights.
