🌿 A Taste of Authentic Peranakan Heritage at Wild Coriander, Melaka

Melaka is a location famous for its nyonya food due to its peranakan roots. A visit to this historical town is never complete without trying out their traditional peranakan fare. One can find numerous nyonya restaurants in melaka, but as the quaint little town grew in tourists visits, somehow, to find a good one among the many on offer here is getting more and more difficult.

Thankful to have found this little small restaurant while I’m in melaka this time. Dining at this restaurant was really an experience. From the deco inside the restaurant, the utensils used and the food itself, i was soaked thoroughly in the peranakan culture, in a good way of course.

The restaurant is housed in a traditional house. The owners really make an effort to introduced the peranakan culture into the dining experience. I was very impressed. To top that up, the food was simply amazing.

The family was served by Carson, who impressed us so much with his hospitality that we felt really grateful. He’s not someone who simply hand over the menu, but explained the dishes found within the menu. He made some wonderful recommendation and was attentive throughout the meal. He was really genuine and forthcoming which made our entire meal, a totally enjoyable one!

Please do yourself a favour and try their nyonya kuays when you are there and you wouldn’t regret it! I was very sad after tasting their kuays truly. Why you may ask and the answer is that I will have a very hard time trying to find kuays in Singapore with similar taste and texture.

Thank you Carson for the wonderful experience that we had at wild coriander. Please stay the same always!
