Nyonya Lin's Kitchen By Baba Ricky

Good ambience, delicious nyonya food good service too. Most important is reasonable price dishes!

Tasty food in a comfortable dining environment while we were there on a Sunday evening (not many people yet, so not very noisy yet). Price is quite steep though. We paid around rm45/person for 7 dishes 4 cendol.

Their reservation system over whatsapp works well, just be reminded to specify if you prefer to be seated in the AC area or non AC. We booked a table for 4 at 1pm on a Saturday, when we arrived we were seated immediately which we were thankful for, a quick glance we could see about 3 tables of between 5-6 people have ordered but not started eating, eventually we had to wait for 50mins for 4 of our orders to arrive together while the 5th item arrived another 20mins later when we finished our rice and forgotten about that order, this made us order more rice to eat with the 5th item, thankfully additional rice was not charged, but it made us too full overall, and the only thing we liked was the Fried Mackerel, everything else was either bland or oily.

A great selection of authentic nyonya food served in this restaurant. I really enjoyed the Petai Squid, Lady’s Finger, Pucuk Ubi, Prawns and Fried Fish with Sambal. We also had the Cendol for dessert but it’s a little too sweet (and the syrup is too thick) for my liking. Other than that it’s surprisingly a very beautiful restaurant that maintains a lot of the heritage design.

Last year Dec we walked in during lunch time without reservation, we couldnt get in as it was full house. So today even weekday, we reserved table few days ahead. This is the best, more authentic peranakan food as compared to a few others that i have tried in Melaka. Cendul is a must have after a hearty meal, it's rich with coconut milk and generous amount of authentic palm sugar.
