Malay food: Sri Melaka


Status: Serve no pork (serves alcohol)

Venue/landmark: opposite the Evening Food Stall along GSC. Easily recognized by their green signboard.

Time open – close: they have specific open hours for lunch and dinner. Will check this out ASAP.

Basic RM per meal: RM 50+ (2 pax, rice, 2 dishes unless it’s fish, 1 vege, Chinese tea/plain water, tax)

The name is Sri Melaka but the food here are not specifically the Malacca food like asam pedas alone, but a large array of Malay cuisine. They carter to large group and is available on reservation too.

The same goes here, they have variety of seafood, and fish priced according to weight/100 g, fish and season. At first look you may think that the presentation of the food resemble a bit of Chinese since many of their cooks are Chinese.

The last time I went there was in a group, so I’ll just list down what we had:

9 pax, RM 18 per person, which covers:

  • Cold / hot Chinese tea or plain/cold water
  • Starter: corn and crab soup
  • Steamed rice
  • Sweet and sour fish fillet (not whole fish, that’ll be a different pricing altogether)
  • Sautéed kalian and shiitake in oyster sauce
  • Ginger squid
  • Soft tofu dish
  • Salad prawn
  • Lemon chicken
  • Fresh fruits

And they all tasted superb! I think it’s pretty decent a price for such fare. Their butter prawns are pretty good too.

I’ll give this place two thumbs up, with compliment to the interior and service.
