Taste Like LOVE: PERANAKAN Food + NYONYA LAKSA + Durian Cendol: Malacca, Malaysia

- Peranakan cuisine...where have you been all my life!?
Started today with nothing better than Nyonya Laksa! This was some heavy handed coconut and sambal based Laksa! I also got the Popiah which made me feel the healthiest I have felt in my whole time in Malaysia.
Next up, I went to snack on some Nyonya Chang, glutinous rice stuffed goodies wrapped in banana leaves. While they had two different types, I seemed to really enjoy the first one, while the second was just not for me. Of course I finished this snack off with a mandatory cendol.
Some really good home cooked Peranankan cuisine from this next restaurant. Lots of love and flavor going into these dishes. Let’s not forget the epic finish with the durian cendol and what is one of my top rated cendols in Malaysia.
Lastly, another Peranakan restaurant, but this time pure Halal! I still have dreams about that sambal and fried eggs. While the other dishes were nice, nothing could even come close to how good that dish was.

Peranakan means a person born here but descended from elsewhere. Love the video once again, food looked amazing. Thank you so much
Peranakan was a Chinese migrant who come into the tanah melayu (previous name for Malaysia) and assimilate themselves into malays culture...you could say that they had come here earlier before british imported contract workers from china and they got their own food and traditions which is resulted from malay-chinese assimilation
@@pixpigdon Thank you! So is it not limited to just Chinese?
@@johnsenoh Awesome Melo! Appreciate the input! love being able to learn so much!
In Malaysia most peranakan was chinese,baba and nyonya was their descendants
anyone else gets hungry after watching this?? or just me ..
Ngidam Babi pongteh ke.. hahahha
I ordered panda right after his first video that I discovered this morning lol 😂
When malay + chinese + indian food mixed together. Never disappointed
Never ever. It's a proven fact.
It's diversity of cuisines at it's BEST.
SEDAP!
Yesssss to peranakan cuisine! As a peranakan from Malacca myself (living in Australia now) this video is making me miss home. That babi pongteh & udang masak lemak nenas looks super legit! If you happen to dine in another peranakan restaurant do try ‘itek tim’ (salted mustard duck soup). It’s a salty+sour duck broth cooked with tamarind slices (some add sour plum), ginger etc. Definitely goes well with pongteh & udang masak lemak nenas.
As for nyonya dumplings we also have ‘kueh chang abu’ which is a plain dumpling made with alkaline water and is yellow in colour. We usually eat this with gula melaka (some use kaya)
Nyonya cuisine is very laborious. The prep time is just insane. Back in the good old days people really led very simple lives with minimal distractions and have plenty of time for prep! Peranakans are also known to be a very fussy lot. I call it high standards. Why aim for mediocrity when you can strive for perfection? ;)
haha I feel like "Our Place" describes the Nyonya cuisine you just mentioned! Very high standard! Okay first time hearing about "itek tim" so I will look for it next time!
Whoever recommend these places, absolute top choice love everything about it. BTW not one single stain on that white t-shirt, Max is becoming a chopstick pro..🥢🥢
haha not sure if chopstick skills are really good or I am really lucky😂
I’ve been watching a lot of foreigners eating Malaysian food UA-cam videos. I’m glad it’s finally time that Malaysian food is getting recognized for being one of the best in the world. Some of it may be cheap (like hawker food), but that doesn’t mean it is not great food. Thanks for doing these videos, Max, and for promoting Malaysian cuisine. I also like the way you eat Malaysian food, like a local.
Thanks Win! I seem to come back here often and I hope to continue to do so!
Yes. Like a local. That was a few times I tot he is in MM2H project and been here for over years. Lol 😂
Hello again Max. So hot today here in England. It has been many years ago when I was in Malaysia and love the food. I am semi retired now and after graduating I decided to travel around the world with 5 of my very good friends. We do not have you tube then and camera not like what we have today. I decided to learned how to cook all the different cuisine that I so thoroughly enjoyed that many years ago. I am indeed very impressed with your video, the way you describe the food and the way you just say it all out loud, I feel I am there with you, seeing the world again. I had been there and done it all. If I am your mother I am so very proud of you. You take care, stay safe and enjoy every moments.
Well jazzie, I am so happy to have you along on this journey! I can only imagine how many amazing recipes you have! So glad to have you along on all these future journeys as well because I have a lot to come! Thank you for the great message and happy you got an opportunity to travel the world as well!
@@Macoi24 My dear Max, Thank you. I love to cook and thanked god my husband love spicy food,. No take away here in my home. If you ever decided to visit England, please let me know. We live well in the out back here in England, sea side town called Bridlington. Sending hugs.
Just subscribed. Why? I think your commentary is the best compared to the other food bloggers on UA-cam. I really appreciate you pronouncing the name and ingredients of the food by their local names. Your descriptions of the food looks genuine and the most important thing, you take your time to enjoy the food and don’t look rushed. Some other food bloggers they look rushing to taste and comment and eat the food it doesn’t appear to be an honest review.
Glad you discovered my childhood food from paradise - peranakan nyonya food and kudos or deserts. Now I have to goto Malacca for that amazing blue dumpling but I might just have to dream about it! And that scrumptious durian red bean coconut cream chendol 's to die for.
Max, you're a natural born
CONNOISSEUR.
I just love your presentation.
No bullshit, no sissy act and just pure INDULGENCE.
You are very passionate and delectable about food.
Unlike some presenters who are squirmish about tasting certain foods.
Keep up the good work max, and go on you good thing.
CHEERS!
nah, give me the real stuff. the good stuff. the unique and so on! Appreciate the awesome comment🙏
@@Macoi24
You deserve it.
I miss malaysia food
I like kare mie udang
Laksa
Kwetiau goreng...
Love from indonesia
If you haven't already, you should try Ayam Buah Keluak. Buah Keluak is a kind of nut and in this dish they take out the flesh of the nuts, cook it with a bunch of other delicious ingredients and stuffed back into the nut before cooking it in a curry. One of my fave peranakan dishes.
I did, but I didn't like it at the place I went. It was way too salty for me, sooo I will just have to come back!
Melaka food delicacy advanture! Nice shot mate, 2:20 the chopstick you used tho😅
I love your video! Notifications button is always on! Best work! Love from Germany 🇩🇪
Ayyy!!! NOTIFICATION FAM!!!! haha that is amazing🙌😭
Hi Katrina Kaif
Melissa R Katrina undercover 🤩
That looks so good. Ginger coconut broth . Tofu puff absorbing all the soup. This video makes me miss Malaysia.
Hi Max, so glad you got to experience and taste delicious Peranakan cuisine. Peranakan or Nonya cuisine describes the early Chinese immigrants to SEA who settled in Penang, Malacca, Singapore and Indonesia during the 1700s to mid 1800s from southern China, primarily from Fujian, Chaozhou (Teochow) and Guangzhou provinces. These early Chinese settlers intermarried with local Malays and adopted the local Malay culture/cuisine and ingredients to their own Chinese cooking to create a unique blend/fusion known as Peranakan or Nonya cuisine. It combines Chinese, Malay and other influences (i.e. Indian). You will not find it anywhere else in the world, and if you do, it will not taste as good as where you are now due to availability and freshness of local ingredients. Enjoy while you can, it's a real treat!
But since this is Melaka, the Peranakan cuisine can also have Portuguese influence, right? Thanks this is an epic comment!
Yes Peranakan in Malacca is unique compared with those in Penang and Singapore because the Malacca one has a more comprehensive mix of flavours, possibly Portuguese and Chitty Malacca as well.
Thank you so much for your review of Malacca's Peranakan food scene - that's the stuff folks come from afar to try. KL-lites and Singaporeans go quite mad for our food!
So chuffed you included Aunty Susan from Our Place; her home-style cooking is really one of those hidden off-the-beaten-track places, and I'm so blessed to count hers as one of our "local" places. She's so cheerful and down to earth, loved by her customers and former students (did she mention she was an ex school teacher??).
For our festival days, it's great we can ask Aunty Susan what special dishes she makes, and whether she'd put on those once-a-year dishes that even us locals know are harder to come by. You must make a return trip, or be sure to try "Ayam Buah Keluak" or "Babi Keluak" - made with the "cyanide nut" as I'd like to call it. Don't worry, this dark, brown nut - like a misshapened golf ball - undergoes a special preparation by burying it in mud, then it's scrubbed & cleaned thoroughly, boiled separately and then finally added to the simmering "stew". It's like the blowfish (fugu) challenge in Japan - you can say you ate "buah keluak" and lived to tell the tale! The taste is incredibly rich, deep and almost chocolatey which really reminds me of mole sauce. Some say it's an acquired taste, but I think your palate would love this, as you love all things Malaysian. BTW, Aunty Susan makes the yummiest version I've tried - her gravy has a hint of assam (tamarind) which helps balance the richness of the dish, leaving it flavoursome but not cloying. Her balance in the dish is just on-point and contrasts beautifully with the aromatic herbs used in her creation. If a dish is far too unctuous and heavy, we call "too lemak", the Malay word for "rich, oily or creamy" - that would leave one feeling quite bloated and queasy after indulging in that!
PS: Love the drone shots of Malacca too - great footage!
Susan is amazing! So happy I got to meet her and one of the best Peranakan meals I had in Malacca! Hmm, I have tried the Ayam version but it wasn't good so I will definitely come back to try Susan's version, as well as, get about three more of her durian cendols hahaha. Got a lot more to come, I get full just thinking about these next couple videos!
Max. is palm sugar. is very good thank you for sharing your beautiful video love your video thanks
7::00 sticky rice looks so good and shave ice after👍👍 I want to visit Malaysia and try all the dishes that you ate . ❤❤ love your video.

Hi there, Tq for introducing Malaysian food to the world. By watching you eating makes me home sick. Miss all the food that I grown up with. BTW I am a Malaysian who is studying in Australia. Hope you have a good time in Malaysia. 😉

Another great vlog Max. Peranakan food stand the test of time.
"But I am sorry popiah you have to move out of the way, because this is a run-away love train into laksa-ville!!!!" Very funny

Yeesss, I didn't get to try all of those, but I have tried a lot!
Hi there. As a local, I would suggest you to Peranakan Mansion 僑生府, Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock, Melaka. It has beautiful environment and is an excellent peranakan food (non-halal) restaurant.
Man .. Your content just keeps on getting better . Those drone shots 🔥🙏

Excellent video. I've been to Melaka three or four times and coming back again later in the year so I will definitely try your suggestions.
heck yeah! So much to eat there!
My sister went to Kocik Kitchen.. she said its the best peranakan dishes that she have ever eaten.. hahahaha
And the right way to eat all this mixed dishes ... you need to mix all of them included the sauce... its way delicious...
That is a beautiful bowl of laksa! Really like that big dollop of sambal on top. And ginger, too? Boiled egg only adds to the perfect breakfast
Exactly, could not agree more! Yes, huge kick...really woke me up😂
You are a true sambal lover. Just like any of us malaysian. Keep up the good work!
Yess, feeling like a local! Thank you and will do!
So colorful foods. You always make me hungry 😂 💪💪💪🇱🇰
Yeah, Max, nyonya food is super delicious and yummy especially their curry and sambal.
Agree 1000000% Chris. Wow, just wow. haha
Here to enjoy your video again! Thanks for sharing such wonderful goodness of food!
Was my pleasure! Just happy to hear you enjoyed!
@@Macoi24 Yup! Can't Wait for your whole series to be up! Hey Max, just wondering will you be visiting China Shenyang??
@@haartxboob I do not have any plans to do so. I thought about going to Harbin, but I am not sure when that will be. My next China trip will be Kunming for a little stop over.
@@Macoi24 alright noted! Doesn't matter where you go actually, as long as you enjoy and love the food you eat!
Omg so delicious! I am really hungry.
Peranakan and Nyonya (Nonya) can be loosely interchanged, I think. Generally refers to people of mixed Chinese and Malay/Indonesian heritage, but there also non-Chinese Peranakans. Ancestors I think are early Chinese immigrants who settled in the Straits Settlement. I'm Peranakan but unfortunately not traditional as my grandparents on both sides passed on before I really got to know them, and my parents aren't traditional either! Biggest regret is not having any family recipes passed down from the grandmothers.
Cuisine-wise, like what you've eaten, Peranakan cuisine is quite heavy influenced by Malay and Indonesian cuisines. Loads of rempah and coconut, and there's always some type of sambal around. There are many good Nonya restaurants in Melaka, although the more popular ones usually get busloads of tourists. I've not tried the one you went to, I shall try it out when I'm next in Melaka!
I'm surprised you didn't have any Nonya kuehs - most people enjoy the sweet kuehs but we have some nice savoury ones as well! You should try Baba Charlie the next time you're in Melaka - some of the best kuehs (Ondeh Ondeh!) I've had and we don't really have great kuehs nowadays in Singapore. Since you love gula melaka, you should also try Putu Piring (steamed rice flour cakes with gula melaka and desiccated coconut). I noticed that you prolly stayed in the Laksamana area? Baba Charlie and the Putu Piring place are somewhat nearby. I think you could prolly cycle from Laksamana to the Putu Piring place, but Baba Charlie's a fair bit further down. Both are along Tengkera, one's at Lorong Tengkera and the other's at Jalan Tengkera I believe. There's a cream puff chain that has a pretty bomb durian cream puff. It's pretty darn great on a hot day. They have a few joints, I think in the malls and there's one at Jonker Street as well.
The wonderful thing about eating cendol in Malaysia is that the more traditional spots make their own ingredients from scratch. Like boiling down the gula melaka till it's nice and syrup. Making the green jelly with pandan. Some places also process their own coconut milk! There's a famous cendol spot where I believe the lady does harvests and processes her own coconuts for the cendol. It's way out though, I think she only opens on weekends, and the queues are always looooooong.
I wonder if your Melakan series comprises of a few episodes like the JB one as well? Would be nice to feature the Melakan architecture, with the Dutch, British and Portuguese influences.
Baba Charlie coming in one of my next videos! It was closed becuase I filmed this video on a thursday! Hmmm< I ended up going to I think 4 Peranakan restaurants in Melaka so shoot me a message on Instagram or an email and I can let you know which I felt like was best. Hhahahaha and I have Auntie Koh's cendol in next video too. I didn't do much of the history or anything for my videos. Was too busy eating😅but looking back I wish I would have talked more about the architecture and actual history of the city. Just didn't feel like I knew it well enough at that point to talk intelligently about it.
Baba Charlie’s kueh standard drop already kinda disappointed 😔
Wow...the icon ...is cendol durian...is looks so yummi and fresh...
“Runaway love train at laksaville!” I hear ya Max 😝 I love curry laksas from all regions. Curry mee too - almost similar. Yummm. You’ve now made me wanna go to Melaka 😭 😂
Oooooooo curry mee in Penang!!!
Dont like that petai bean myself but jengkol (sambal or rendang versions both great) i love so much.
Im from sri lanka
Good video, keep going it good luck 👍👍💫
Love love love... all your videos. Good research! 👍🏻
Thanks! I sure did a lot of it!
@@Macoi24 hands down! You are one of my fav youtube channel besides Mark Weins. Can u make a video the best food you have tasted around Asia?
That is amazing to hear! Really is high praise! yes, I will be doing some end of year top 19s or something like that!
@@Macoi24 can't wait. I look forward to it!
This area also has the Duck Noodles behind Tun Tan Cheng Lock Road. Next time you in Malacca you should eat this.
i think generally from little that i know, peranakan cuisine is the combination of the style of malay cooking with the spices of chinese . so this makes it very unique in its own. that is why you can see the technique of traditional malay food with mixed in ingredient from chinese cuisine. Anyone knows better please add in the info here ^^. sorry for my lack of knowledge.
Good information. Thank you!
Durian cendol? Now that looks interesting! With the big chunks. Our Place really looks like a gem with the house-made ingredients
Yeah, if you look back in the kitchen, just a bunch of wonderful ladies making delicious food!
Malaysian foods look so yummy ppff water dancing in my mouth hehe, someday really need to try nyonya laksa and durian cendol
yes, could not agree more. you need to!
I’m just here for dessert...durian chendol is pretty interesting 🍧♥️
well I ate plenty of it haha
Never did notice before but slurping and that southern drawl seem to go hand in hand. Damnit, i feel like one of Pavlov's dogs watching this. Keep up the good work sir.
haha, it has just never been done before the souther drawl and slurp combo. haha funny comment about Pavlov's dog
As soon as you come back in the Philippines here in Pampanga, I want to go eat with you Brother. My treat 😊
sounds good to me!
Plenty of food and desserts in this video , I am attracted by them all ( I say yes to coconut flavor ). Some houses and streets look cute and some people are fluent in english, what else ? I must visit there.
haha you and me both, love that coconut
I am Jeolous of all the good eats.
Oh man.... You always make me hungry
Omg I will get fat if I watch your vlog often. They way you eat make me hungry so bad.

@@Macoi24 Lol.... Enjoy your day here... Don't forget to try Asam pedas telur ikan...Take care
A big Hi from an Australian now living in Malacca! I follow your videos and it's so great to see you're in my new home town trying out the yummy food.
@@hazelt.4410 yes, loved my time in Malacca so much. I was very sad to leave. Luckily when I did I went to Penang ha! But would love to come back! Still have some good videos coming from here!
Sambal and eggs are a winning combo! So is petai, sambal and shrimp
I will never cook eggs without sambal again!
My home town. You eat like a pro.
You truly make me hungry. 🤤🤤🤤🤤😅
Watching yr Video makes me hungry... aaah
OMG I just have to comment for the intro shots with many different angles! So much effort for getting the bike out of the hostel 😂
haha thank you for appreciating this 15 second scene that felt like it took an hour to shoot
Max, in Peranakan cuisine, the dishes made with Buak Keluak is a mainstay - try either ayam (chicken) or babi (pork) buah keluak. The fruit, buah keluak, in its raw form contains cyanide and must be cured using traditional techniques for 5 days prior to cooking. Once cooked the dish can only be described as a savory chocolate fruit.
Must try! It’s getting harder to find as the techniques are being lost and younger generations lack the patience.
Love the videos and how you dive into the whole culture, via its cuisine. Keep it going.
Thanks so much for the heads up! I did try it, but the one which I tried was not very good so I will have to come back and try to look again!
That’s a pity.
Where you heading to next, Max?
And here I'm eating cookies while watching you eat. 😂
R u for real! A Westerner who likes sambal, gravy, 🌶, spices.. I'm local, but my family don't eat these. My food soul mate, where have u been all my life! 😍
Arkansas....hahahaha😂
Your Hand movement always on point 😍😍😍
😂😂😂
Malaccan who lives in the US right now, what a torture watching you travel around and eat all my favorites in my hometown. However, as far as I'm concerned, you are doing this right, in Melaka or Malaysia. :-)
Wow, this must be difficult for you to watch because I hate watching due to the fact I know how good these foods are!! Appreciate the positive comment! Got a lot more to come!
Keep up the good work! Success will follow!
thank you brother 🙏
max, you make me so hungry right now :)
