Foods
1. Restoran Kok Keong - Yam Rice ( Lean Meat)
Discovered this restaurant while walking along the melaka street. This restaurant is situated at the corner lot and there are plenty of parking at the side. As the restaurant is having limited tables and seats, the queue is always building up outside the restaurant. I love their lean meat soup. It's a similar to a Bak Kut Teh we used to have in KL. Yet this broth is more clear and it comes with a tantalising herbs taste. Most importantly, the soup is refillable under a self service.

This Satay celup is situated within a very hidden village area. It's converted using a old traditional wooden houses. Surrounded by nature and some estates. I would say the tatse of the satay soup is superb. But don't expect the thickness is like others. Despite being not so thick the soup base, but the tatse is somehow really flavourful and much better than those with thick grounded peanuts.
Pls locate the wong kok food court. This stall is just right behind the wong kok food court. Will suggest to call the owner to reconfirm if you're lost.

4. Ngeteh Cafe Melaka
Ngeteh cafe is located remotely in one of the Malay Kampung Village near Kampung Pantai. This is a very Instagramable cafe as it's stationed right at the seafront. The highlight of this cafe is the extendable rocky pathway stretching out to the middle of the sea. There are some swings standing on top of it for the guest to take some nice photographs.
The foods here are very toothsome. I highly recommend their ready pack Nasi Lemak, Burn Cheese Cake, and Caffeinated Beverages.
It's cool to sit down here and let the sea breeze embrace you with thier warm and little salty gesture of welcoming :-)
