Sayyid Antique & Cafe — Restaurant in Malacca

im sorry i had to write my experience here. it’s not that busy, fine, we waited for a while for someone to come and get our order (until we called them). then they only had a few meals left for us. and came another group of people next to our table. guess what? the waiter gave our food to the next table and we asked the waiter nicely, “we came first but why the next table have all of their food ready?” the waiter said “tangan penuh, meja kecik tak boleh nak letak makanan” EXCUSE ME? there’s only three cups of teh tarik on our table and a bowl of laksa. and he even said further “sabar la. tak menyabar nyabar” simply how rude. the owner was nice to us and said sorry, but we’re not trying to play race card, but the waited clearly served the other customer from SG better. oh hey, the waiter didn’t apologize to us for being rude. :)

fun fact: we ordered air suam and didnt even get it. tell me im not being dramatic.

update: the owner told my sister not to pay sebab our food was cheap (and just a gesture for not serving our food) memang la murah sebab tak dapat makanan?? we forced them to accept our money but they didn’t want it anyway, harap...

This should be one of the go-to place for breakfast in Melaka!

Clean. Price is good. Short waiting time. Yay! Food is good. I recommend the soto. 🤓

I wish there was kuih but what they are serving is adequate. Good enough for breakfast. :) We topped up our roti bakar and half boiled eggs. 🤗

Be there early if you want better chance at getting tables. I was there on a Sunday morning before 10am. Parking is by the roadside. You’ll get one near the shop if you are lucky. If you go by foot, then you’ll not worry about parking. 😅

Premise is small and jam packed with antiques. Love them all. Brought my mum along and she did use some of the items before. The cabinet right behind us had hair creams and face creams (still in its original plastic!). Woot woot!

They are not kidding about the word antique in their shop name....

Came around 9 on Sunday morning and had to wait for about 10 minutes to get a table for 7. The owners were taking orders and cleaning tables.. Am guessing they were cooking as well (?). Uncle owner kept apologising to us and told us staff didn't turn up hence why they were a bit chaotic that morning. Many groups waited for a table after us, some got in, some left so be prepared to either wait for a table especially during school hols. Ordered roti bakar and mi hun goreng, lontong and nescafe. Food is just average, nothing outstanding but it certainly is an interesting cafe to dine in, surrounded by antique...
