Hui Brother Restaurant (Chinese Cuisine) 輝哥中餐館huī gē zhōngcānguǎn — Restaurant in Malacca

If I could turn back time, I’d walk right past this place. . What we ordered: Stir-Fry Siakap Fillet with Ginger & Onion – RM33 Big plate. Tiny portion. Salt overload. . Tofu with Pickled Carrot – RM16 Simple dish, badly done. Pickled carrot tasted unwashed. Salt bomb. . Stir-Fry Brinjal with Garlic Sauce – RM18 Dark as burnt. Drowned in sauce. Over-seasoned. Photo here? Brightened so it looks better than it was. . Oyster Omelette – RM18 The only dish that didn’t disappoint. . Service? Excellent. Staff kept our tea topped up without asking. . Feedback given? Yes. Reply: “Tell us less salt next time.” . Problem: it wasn’t just “salty.” It was almost inedible. We came for food, not a sodium challenge. . Do they taste their own dishes? Or have glowing reviews made them complacent? Some may love it. Maybe we’re the picky ones. But most won’t complain—they’ll just never return. . A shiny renovation can’t hide poor cooking or lack of quality control. . Return? Only if every other restaurant was closed. Recommend? No. They already have enough fans. . .

I was surprise for this restaurant,wanna tried many times but I was in rush always when I was in melaka,finally got chance to tried their food ,food was actually delicious,can see chef put a lot of effort for every single dish presentation ,I just wanna feedback front line have to train well ,I always believe leader is how ?

When I first stepped into this restaurant, I was amazed by its settings because it’s hard to find a lot of good looking restaurants in Melaka. When we sat down, the waitress immediately served us with some peanuts (charged ofc)

The menu has many dishes, prices were similar to Kuala Lumpur. Most of the dishes were around RM20-30.

However, it took a long time for them to serve the food. But everything was fine, until a man waiter suddenly took my family’s plates and bowls with tissue away when we didn’t request them to do so. Not using the dishes doesn’t means we aren’t using it later… Really felt speechless on their action.

On the food, the portion is moderate for a family. (A lot of flies came) The drinks that I ordered was the passion fruit and ai yu bing. Both were super sour which is really nice. The cabbage dish was filled with dried chili and pork lard, it made the cabbage oily and smelly too. But for those who likes it, it’s worth trying because cabbage:dried chili:pork lard = 2:1:2. The curry fish doesn’t have curry flavor haha 🫠 The best dish for today is probably the 铁板豆腐. The tofu and the egg is well cooked, just normal. After that, the otak otak chicken wing. It’s definitely overpriced! RM9 for one chicken wing, and the taste didn’t amaze me. Last but not least, sweet and sour pork on ice was crispy at first but really awful after a few more minutes. A little recommendation is to prepare a bowl for customers to put the ice.

Back to the services. When we were eating until half, a waitress suddenly took the ice pork’s spoon and started scooping the longan into our plates and took the bowl away!!! ⁉️⁉️ This action is really rude because we don’t like longan…

And one last thing about their toilet. The lock doesn’t work. When I was inside, I double checked that it was locked inside. However, someone suddenly opened the door… It’s really important to have a WORKING LOCK for toilet.

Hope to see improvements. But I don’t think I will...
