Despite the mushrooming of indie and urban cafés
around the historical city, Melaka, the local folks are still hooked with this
one legendary and cheapest restaurant selling chicken chops called Restaurant Celah
Kangkang Chicken Chop. For first timers, they would probably be weird out by
the name of the restaurant. However, there is a reason behind it. Due to its
location which is tucked in between two hotels – Orkid Hotel and Bay View
Hotel, and it is situated right in between the gap of the two hotels. That is
how they have gained their unique name. Apparently, there is a food court at
the small alley that consists of many other hawkers selling fruit juices,
satay, chapatti, Malay cuisine, burger and many more. This particular joint can
be spotted at the end of the alley.
This street stall is offering a simple Western
food menu, from nuggets to steak, you can have it all at a very affordable
price. Ranging from RM8 for chicken chop and RM9 for lamb chop, along with the
large serving portion, this place is simply one of the best street hawker in
Melaka. Not only do they serve big and filling meat, the gravy that comes with
it is also delicious and comes in a very generous amount. You can choose
between the classic mushroom sauce or the hot black pepper sauce.
Since it is situated in the middle of a busy road and in between hotels, the parking space here can be quite limited. There is a housing area near the hotel that you can park but of course without blocking the residents’ way. Opened only during dinner, this place is the perfect spot to hangout while enjoying really satisfying and cheap Western food.
