Nasi Lemak Dan Minuman Ah Ho is a
Chinese restaurant and coffee shop located just a few doors away from the famous
Taiwanese pork ribs mee in Gajah Berang, Melaka. Interestingly, the restaurant
only has one stall there, and to no surprise (based on the restaurant’s name),
it’s the stall that specialises in Chinese nasi lemak that’s aptly named
Capitol Nasi Lemak. The stall has been around for many years and has been an
all too familiar name when it comes to the Melaka food scene as customers
regularly visit this restaurant during the brunch hours for their nasi lemak
fix.
As far as the Chinese nasi lemak is
concerned, the key point that makes it differ to the Malay nasi lemak (the nasi
lemak most of us are used to) is the sambal. The sambal used in Chinese nasi
lemak is slightly sweeter than that of it’s Malay counterpart. This is done to
adapt to Chinese taste buds that aren’t as keen on spicier options. The other
thing that makes this nasi lemak stall stand out from the others is that there
are a myriad of side dishes to enjoy with your plate of this local classic in a
manner similar to that of a nasi padang or economy rice stall. Some of these
include fried chicken, fried fish, prawns, squid, cockles, watercress leaves,
long beans, clams, fried egg.
So if you’re looking to try out
some Chinese nasi lemak whilst in Melaka, Nasi Lemak Dan Minuman Ah Ho is a
great choice.
