Taragon Restaurant Serves Nyonya Food

Everyone knows Melaka is popular of the Nyonya food, also referred to as the Straits Chinese food, is an amalgamation of Chinese and Malay cuisine believed to have originated from the Peranakan (Straits Chinese) of Melaka over 400 years ago. This was the result of inter-marriages between Chinese immigrants and local Malays, which produced a unique culture. Here, the ladies are called nyonya and the men babas. Taragon Restaurant and Bistro is a relatively new restaurant located smack in the Melaka city riverside, serving authentic Nyonya and Western food while providing a magnificent view of the Melaka River.

A Visit to Queen Victoria Market

I had been to QVM for 2 times and more pics in my dslr actually, but these pics are from my iPhone. We had our bfast at the food court at QVM. As I was hunger for Asian food, so I opted for tomyum and dumplings soup while my friend had a heavy American bfast.

The Tom Yum was tasteless and not spicy at all, as I tweeted earlier. Nothing spectular abt it, however the dumplings were pretty good.
