There are some really lovely buildings in Melaka. This one is a restaurant, although what you see this is the front entrance to the family home. The actual restaurant is at the back of the house and looks nothing like this. It is called Donald and Lilys and serves traditional Nyonya food . This type of food was developed by Straits Chinese and people of mixed Chinese/Malay ancestry from Malaysia and Singapore. It is mainly Chinese ingredients but blended with South East Asian spices such as coconut milk, lemongrass, tumeric and chillis. Melaka is famous for it's Nyonyan cooking.
Lee Sun told us that a good time to go was Friday lunchtime for the Friday special. We arrived to find ourselves waiting in a queue to get in. The place was rammed with Chinese and Malays. The queue went down fast as Chinese and Malays don't hang about after they have eaten. It was worth the wait though.
