Ban Hong Xiang Tea House — Restaurant in Malacca

As soon as you step into the restaurant you can tell that cleanliness is a top priority. The floor is dry and spotless, and the tables are arranged with social distancing in mind, ensuring that customers can enjoy their meal in a safe and comfortable environment.

The stall might be simple in its set-up, but it's clear that the owners take pride in their establishment. The toilet is properly maintained, and hygiene is taken seriously throughout the entire space.

But what really sets this restaurant apart is the unique traditional family recipe they offer - the 大包, served with an intense black soya sauce and pepper. The meat is soft and chewable, bursting with flavor that you can't find anywhere else.

It's no wonder that customers are pouring in to try this one-of-a-kind dish. The price is also a great value for the quality of food being served. And because they don't keep high stock, the 點心 (dim sum) is always fresh and delicious, made with ingredients that are ordered based on the stall's business demand.

If you're looking for a taste of something truly special 大肉包，豆沙包和點心, this restaurant is the place to be. You won't be disappointed by the unique flavors and warm hospitality...

Ban Hong Xiang Tea House – A Familiar Name, But Fading Spark This place is a household name among Malaccans. It’s been around forever, with a loyal crowd to prove it. But here’s the thing—the menu hasn’t aged well. . They’ve tried to shake things up with new items, But sadly, the results don’t impress. . This round, we ordered: 🥟 Pan Juan 🍆 Brinjal 🦐 Fried Rolled Prawn 🥠 Char Siew Pao 🥣 Shark Fin Soup . 🚫 Major red flag: The shark fin soup was just wrong. Zero fins. Just a broth that felt like a bait-and-switch. Don’t call it shark fin if there’s none inside. Simple. . ⏳ Service? Slow. Really slow. Especially for a place that runs on weekend breakfast rush. . ✅ Will we come again? Only if the parents insist—nostalgia has its place. . 👥 Recommend to outsiders? No. If you’ve been to Penang, Ipoh, or KL dim sum spots, this doesn’t compare. . A local classic, yes— But legacy alone won’t carry you...

This is one of my favourite place for dimsum in Malacca. May be the best! Very crowded, especially during weekend! And you need to wait to be seated..But I love coming back here again and again, just craving for the dimsum here, loves the big pao, char siew pao, fried carrot cake, fried oyster, steamed fish paste, siu mai and many more. The dimsum here are served very fresh and hot. It is always full of customers, and some even queing up to take away. Although they will bring dimsum over to your table by making rounds and rounds, sometimes you may need to self service so that not to wait for long. Parking is very difficult here, and you may need to park few blocks away and walk over to here. The price is very reasonable , RM2.60 per plate. I would say cheap! Taste : 5 stars Service : 2 stars Price : 5 stars Ambience : 3...
