I would say this Chinese restaurant is a hidden gem in Malacca! I was introduced to try this restaurant by my Malacca friend, and I thought this is one of the best I have tried! The foods are cooked in hokkien styled, and all serve in claypot! So it will be served piping hot! Do come here early to avoid disappointment having to wait for long. When we came, it was 6.40pm, and we were given number 3, and waited for about 15mins to be seated as it was full house! We were surprise the business is so good and furthermore it was on a Monday evening. There are both outdoor and indoor seatings. While waiting to be seated, the waiter took our order. I saw there was a long queue after us, and some decided to leave. So do come early at 5pm when the shop just opened. They also opened during lunch time from 11am to 2pm. Their signature dishes are lala soup and pork leg vinegar. The lala was sold out, so would certainly come back to try next time! The pork leg vinegar was so delicious! The servings were generous and prices are reasonable too! This restaurant is at Melaka Raya. You turn in to the direction of Pulau Melaka , then keep right and turn right at the second junction. You will see lots of shop lots. After that turn left at second turning and go all the way to the end. The restaurant is on your right!

This is one of the must eat places where we are in Melaka. My wife and I are there twice in two days 🤣. First day for lunch, there were three of us and we ordered four dishes. I insisted on the curry fish fillet...it's my favourite but be prepared to eat a lot of rice. Vegetable was sweet potato leaves and it was well cooked, but the vegetable was a bit stringy. The pic stomach soup was excellent though my two companions only had the soup and I had most of the offal. Last dish was black vinegar pig trotter. That was excellent too and the girls polished that off. I stick to the curry. As usual, there is a bowl of fresh garlic and another of chili padi, to go with soya sauce. Perfect together. We had fresh made barley water kosong (no sugar) as our drink. Following day, we were running late and couldn't get a Grab. So called the restaurant and they were very obliging to wait for us. I think we turned up 10mins before lunchtime closing. Only two of us this time and the dishes. We had ginger spring onion fish fillet which is one of their specialties. Excellent especially (for me) with the fresh garlic. 2nd dish is another of their specialties, the salted fish pork belly. Excellent with rice! Last dish was just garlic fried HK chye sim. We pretty much finished all three dishes 😊. See the pictures. This place has amazing food. We'll be back the next time we're in Melaka!

Arrived at about 6pm on a Saturday. There was already a crowd of people waiting outside. Take a number and stand about waiting too. From the outside, we could see that quite a number of tables were empty, but they refused to sit us and let diners wait outside instead. I've no idea why they do this - maybe to make themselves seem more popular if there's a queue out there? After waiting for 30-40 minutes, I was finally seated and made my order. Cheese prawn was nice, but sauce was more diluted than i expected - almost like soup. I was served 6 huge prawns and charged RM60 for the dish. Otak omelette (RM15) is yummy too. However, the star of the night was the curry fish fillet (RM28). Curry sauce was delicious with lots of fish fillet and vegetables inside. By the time i was done eating at about 8pm, the restaurant was turning people away, saying they're out of food already. In my opinion, service could definitely be improved - first you don't seat people immediately, then you turn people away as early as 8pm. If you know you're popular, shouldn't you prepare more ingredients upfront?

Everything in claypot! A unique dining where everything is cooked in claypot - so you know the food stays warm throughout. We had the minced ginger with fish - amazing!! Super fresh fish, tender and well cooked in a ginger sauce! Really good! Pork Stomach soup was very peppery (as it should) with delicious flavours. So appetizing! Not smelly. Pork belly with fungus. Another stellar dish. So flavorful. And the sauce is so thick! Tofu with white crab mushroom - very delicious. Simple combination but it was flavorful! Spinach. Simple. Taste normal. 🤭 But everything else was really really amazing! Impressed! ✨Overall Score: 10/10 ✨ ************************* Can Eat One Mehhh??? Definitely! The fish and pork was super good! They have crabs too - which i will try in my next visit! 🥰

We had dinner here 2 days in a row. The foreign staff who took our order speaks Chinese and English. For the 1st night, we had ginger fish, yam chicken, sweet potato leaves, and otak omelette. Four dishes were too much for 3 pax as the portion is big even though we ordered small for all dishes. In fact, we reckon that 3 dishes would be sufficient for 4-5 pax. For the 2nd night, we had ginger onion fish, vinegar pork knuckle, and kangkung. Vinegar pork knuckle was a little small portion, but it was understandable due to the pork price. We've been eating here for years, and it is by far the most valuable and delicious claypot restaurant. Other claypot restaurants in Malacca are more expensive than this. You should try it, it's totally worth the wait.

Unique dining experience where everything on their menu is served out of claypots. We had to wait more than 30 minutes for our table. That said, they managed our expectations well and the manager was polite and service oriented throughout. Our favorite dish was the Curry Fish Fillet, where the curry was very yummy and the fish slices were tender and fresh. The Pepper Pork Stomach soup was also flavorful and with the right level of pepperiness. Yam Chicken is one of their signature dishes and certainly worth trying. The only dish that disappointed was Pork Belly with Salted Fish. We can't really taste the salted fish and it was quite ordinary. On the whole, we had a good meal and will certainly return the next time we are in Malacca.
