Kocik kitchen @ Melaka

Nyonya food is a blend of Chinese, Malaysian and European, a must try if you ever go to Melaka. Any Nyonya restaurant in Melaka usually not bad if you know how to order.
Kocik kitchen is a Nyonya restaurant that is tucked in the midst of  Jonker street which also has so many food for us to salivate over.



Pai Tee (RM 4.50/ 4 pcs) - Also known as 'Top Hats'. A light and crispy appetizer.




One of the local food you shouldn't miss - Otak otak



Chap chye stew (RM10) - mixed vegetables that tasted like what it supposed to be



Fish chili garam (RM30)- just ok, nothing to jump about



Chicken Ponteh (RM12) - One of the melaka's signature, very addictive.



Fried squid (RM15) - The squid was just okay




Lemak nenas prawn (RM20)- It has just the right amount of coconut and tasted superb



Telur cencaluk (RM8)- the biggest letdown



Fried bee hoon- soso



Duck soup (RM15) - WTH is this?! Never order this




Gula melaka cendol (RM3) - Cendol is a must! As jonker 88 is always crowded and difficult to get a seat, and I heard the standard of the cendol  have dropped. We tried kocik kitchen's cendol and it was surprisingly good, aromatic and flavorful, very satisfying indeed.



If you don't care much about ambience but want a simple and good local food, this is the place. Come early because the place close ealier (~7.30pm) on Sunday.
