Always do and always will seek for nice nyonya cuisines especially when I'm in Malacca. This time, found Manis Sayang that been located in Taman Melaka Raya. The restaurant is not that visible unlike Amboi so if you are looking for this place please do ask around or bring your GPS with you.

Manis had been in town for quite some time and according to source, its a favourite spot for tours to dine-in. During my visit, I witness a group of Japanese tourist step in the restaurant with their tour guide thus i believe the place its quite famous.

The front is nicely decorated with rural concepts with beautiful lanterns hung outside.

Ponteh Chicken (Nice)
- traditional nyonya braise chicken with mushrooms and garlic -

Stir Fried Lady Fingers with Nyonya Sambal (Nice)
- the nyonya sambal is very nice but the lady fingers rather crunchy -

Otak-Otak (Average)

Assam Fish (Average)
- personally feel that the assam is rather watery thus it does not really blends with the fish -

Sambal Petai Squid (Nice)
- spiciness of the sambal bring the greatness of petai as it always a great combination -

Nyonya Prawn (Average)

Gula Malacca Cendol (Average)

Overall, the servings are quite reasonable but there are lots of room of improvement especially the assam fish and otak-otak is common in nyonya cuisine.

Operating hours:
Daily 11.30am till 2.30pm and 6.00pm till 9.30pm (Close on Wednesday)

Went down Melacca for some work related purposes which then overrun our lunch time whereby only manage to reach the shop about 2.30pm. We are lucky that the owner accepted our order and finally manage to sat down for a meal.

The shop's ambiance is quite cozy although not much customers in the shop looking at the time. Detailed decorative items such as the lantern, the Chinese word billboard, the lighting, and tables and chairs resemble the homy nyonya style in the olden years.

Basket of rice whereby you eat all you can..!!!

Nyonya Otak-Otak
- all time favorite but i feel the otak-otak in Muar is slightly better -

Nyonya Rendang Chicken (Good)

Belancan KangKung
- All time favourites, how can you miss that -

Assam Fish "Jenak" (Recommended)

Nyonya Chendol

Its a nice place and once again Thank You the owner for being so nice allowing us to chip in after his operating hours. I really favor nyonya food therefore my choice of selection is quite particular so may not be the best Nyonya food that I have tried but definitely is one of the famous in Malacca that you can tried some local taste with reasonable price.
