Ole Sayang Restaurant

198-199, Taman Melaka Raya, 75000 Melaka
Tel: 06-2831966
Closed on Wednesday

The thing about Melakka or Malacca is that there are quite a couple of Nonya restaurants around. And this is one of them. The number of Chinese in particular nonya(baba) is quite high. All around the streets are clean and proper the hygiene level is also relatively high.

Interior of the restaurant
curry chicken
 
chap chye

The curry chicken is the dry kind and the sauce is spicy and hot. Very good to go with the rice. Fermented bean curd (aka ‘nam yee or 豆腐乳) for the chap Chye is not too strong hence for those that can't take nam yee it is acceptable.
Fried omelette
Sambal petai and crispy
Sambal Kang Kong
Otak Otak
Sambal fried fish

Quite a lot of people patronize the restaurants. The sambal belacan if you need more it is $2 ringgit each. But it is really hot and spicy. For those that like spicy food. This is the restaurant that you should visit when in Malakka. The menu doesn't have pork. I am not sure whether it is halal or not.

Restoran Makanan Laut

View from the apartment
During this road trip in Malaysia, we also went over to Cameron and stayed at Hotel Equatorial. Initially, we got an apartment but later switch to individual hotel rooms instead. As the facilities in the apartments is not as good as the hotel room.
A cooling spot for smokers and drinkers

Restoran Makanan Laut Cameron Highlands

Rice wine with steam mushrooms
Ikan Bilis with Pedai

A must try when in Cameron is the steamboat
Tea leaves plantation

When in cameron the weather is rather cooling and can be quite cold at night. Somtimes there is even mist. You can try alot of local produce like strawberries, pedai, tea leaves,corns, sweet potato, all kinds of mushrooms and 天山雪蓮(Tian Shan Xue Lian). There is a French cottages in the hill.

On our way down, there are quite a few land slides. Think is because of the rainy seasons and the route that we take is the old route. It can be rather dangerous if you attempt to overtake or drive very fast because the road itself is rather narrow. As we are reaching the bottom, you can also see a large waterfall where you can soak yourself in and enjoy the cooling mountain water.

Among the Dim Sum, the one I like best is the Loh Mai Kai. Everything about he Loh Mai Kai is so full of flavour. They steam the Loh Mai Kai over a porcelain bowl is very hot when you try to flip it over. The parking space is $3 rinngit.

Tau Ge
The Tau Ge(Bean Sprouts) in Ipoh is particularly thick and crunchy. This is also how they usually cook Tau Ge in Ipoh. The sauce at the bottom and the pepper on top are the things that make this dish a wonder. Everywhere that sells Nga Choi Kai Fan(Steam Kampong Chicken) will sell Tau Ge as well in Ipoh.

This is the famous Yong Tau Fu

The penang laksa noodle from the Yong Tau Fu is fantastic. The soup base is sweet and spicy.
