A while back we sampled the Chicken Rice Ball at
Famosa located within the vicinity of the Jonker
Walk area. Knowing that it was a tourist trap we went there eyes wide open
expecting a disappointing experience. And we were right. We vowed that it would
be the last time we’d ever visit Famosa Chicken Rice Ball, and promised
ourselves to look for a cheaper and better alternative.
This time around after some extensive research online we found this restaurant that was highly recommended. To be honest when we came to Wilson Chicken Rice some time ago (which is situated nearby) we actually meant to come here. Despite coming early the large crowd and long queues that had formed around the restaurant deterred us that thing.

This time we opted for a different strategy: come after lunch. And it paid off! We managed to get a table after a short wait and ordered the house specialty.

As someone remarked online: “Why go for the
overrated ones in jonker, where you can come here for the most original and
affordable chicken rice balls in Melaka!”
We couldn’t agree more, and made a mental note
to come here again if ever we craved Melaka Chicken Rice Ball. In case you’re
wondering, this restaurant definitely falls within the category of the everyday
food for the everyday man.
As an
added bonus, Cat found this elderly vendor selling her favourite 1Melaka
Rojak.
1a distinctive
mixed salad, its name in Malay meaning “mixture” that has acquired iconic
status. This dish is usually made of julienned cucumber, pineapple chunks, yam
bean or jicama, fried tofu halves, fine ground roasted peanuts and sesame
seeds. It is usually bathed with heaps of sauce, including chillies, shrimp
paste, tamarind juice and thick soy sauce.
All in all it was a very enjoyable afternoon for the both of us.
