Madam Kiow Cendol — Restaurant in Malacca

Amazing little place that serves some of the most amazing food in Melaka - I went there because of the Tai Bak but then end up also having their cendol, pai-tee, nasi lemak and some kuih .. all are amazing.

The ice on the tai bak and cendol is so soft and the melt so quickly in your bowl. The Cendol has a nice flavor of the gula melaka - not overly sweet. The Tai Bak is very fresh and nice .. I havent had this Tai Bak since I was a kid.

The pulut tekan is nice - but most of the pulut tekan you find in Melaka is nice too. Pie tee is very nice, with nice chili sauce to go with.

The nasi lemak was also amazingly good - I just had a plate of nasi lemak before I came but seeing the people on the next table eating it makes me go grab my pack too and it definitely dont disappoint.

I guess only draw back from this place is that it is only opened during weekends from about 11am till 4pm (but they said some good weekends they are...

My friend brought us there to have a nyonya cuisine. It is quite a distance from the old town area. Parking is plenty in the area. The shoplot is spacious with plenty of seating. We had to order at the counter, and almost all were self-serving. Nyonya kuihs stall next to it sells a very good choice of traditional delicacies of nyonya. We were too full to have main dishes like laksa or lontong. We just have durian cendol and a weekend special of tai bak. The cendol is just okay (Penang is better, lol). Durian flesh was a frozen one but was given generously on top of the cendol. The tai bak is exactly a plain sweet ice shave with pandan flavour topped with dual colour rice noodles, which is hard to get anywhere now... We will come again for the main...

I like their cendol and taibak! Their durian cendol is so fragrant and sweet, using pure coconut milk and gula melaka. It'll be nice if it's fresh durian not frozen but understandable as durian is a seasonal fruit. Besides cendol, they have some kueh and nasi lemak, noodles as well. I've tried their kueh bakul and is good. Service can be better, that's how you can keep your customer :) The only thing to improve on is the parking space, it's quite limited, and people tend to simply park occasionally which will affect the traffic flow. I would say this is as good as Aunty Koh. It's smart that they open business near Aunty Koh, a good alternative as well. Aunty Koh tend to sell out really really fast in such a limited time, and she no longer...
