When in Melaka you must try the popular Malay dish, asam pedas. This spicy, tangy stew is made from tamarind and chilli and a protein of your choosing. There are lots of asam pedas restaurants in Melakak but we dine at a Kota Laksamana which serves its asam pedas in a claypot.

We opt for pari (stingray) and tetel (beef shank). Both asam pedas claypot come with white rice, half a salted duck egg and some vegetables. It is a delicious dish and definitely one to tick off your Melaka famous food eats list!

After dinner we head to Jonker Street for the night market or pasar malam which is held every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from about 6:00pm to midnight. There are lots of stalls selling everything from fake tattoos and fidget spinners to phone covers and clothing. We buy some dodol, a soft sticky coconut toffee to sample. Definitely worth a try.

Where we ate:

Restoran Kota Laksamana Asam Pedas Claypot
86, Jalan Laksamana 5, Taman Kota Laksamana, 75200 Melaka
Open Monday to Friday 6:00pm to 4:00am and Saturday 6:00pm to 8:15am
Halal
