Restoran Nyonya Suan

Melaka City


A feast of fiery Peranakan specialities are served at this large and pleasant restaurant, with ikan gerang asam (fish in a spicy tamarind sauce) and chicken rendang raising the temperature. A couple of swaying lanterns and some stained-glass panelling set the scene while you await your towering cendol (shaved-ice dessert). Nyonya Suan has another branch on Jln Tokong (Jonker Walk).
