Tai Bak @ Jalan Tengkera, Malacca

Tai Bak

Stall next to Wesley Church

Jalan Tengkera.

Open 10am to 6pm daily.

Tai Bak, a Nyonya dessert consisting of sweet noodles in a light syrup, is in danger of extinction. This may well be the only stall selling it in Malacca.Made from three types of flour - rice, tapioca and wheat - tai bak looks like elongated pink and white cendol. It is served with shaved ice and syrup, but black jelly (cincau), red beans and palm sugar syrup can also be added.The owner, Ng Soon Woo, is a friendly and cheerful person who took over the 51-year-old family business from his father-in-law 16 years ago. The ice balls here are also good.
