They take pride in continuing the legacy of making various nyonya kuih for over 30 years, and it is currently being succeeded by the fourth generation of their family. Do come here for their truly authentic signature dish, the onde-onde. This huge teardrop shaped dough is boiled and bathed with finely grated coconut. It literally ends with gula Melaka melting in your mouth! In addition, they do supply their kuih to almost every corner of the state, including a minority of hotels in Melaka.
