From the name Wok & Pan, Wok stands for the
Nyonya cuisine and Pan stands for the Western cuisine. So you could guess that
this eatery sells a blend of totally different style of food, good for those of
you who plan on going there with your friends, or whoever, that does not like
one style or the other. The chef and owner, Mr Richard Lim begun business at
this humble shop back in 2005 after retiring. He has nearly four decade’s worth
of experience in the culinary industry and previously worked as an executive
chef at the Renaissance Hotel in Melaka for nearly a couple of decades.
Being in that line, you would expect him to be
an expert in food, more specifically, western and Asian style food. His other
cooking skills includes pantry and baking. About the shop, it is situated in
Plaza Mahkota, a stones’ throw away from the very popular Mahkota Parade
Shopping Complex, a humble and simple yet cosy shop which very much matches the
ambience of the place.
Among
their signature dishes includes the BBQ smoked honey pork ribs, claimed to be
the best in Melaka. Other western dishes to try includes, their burger, more
specifically, Chef’s Pork Burger, with crispy pork cutlet and egg served with
French fries. Nyonya dishes are not excluded as well. Do not hesitate to try
out their style of Hokkien mee and their Portuguese Baked Fish Jenat. The list
of nyonya dishes is worth trying. Desserts and pasta are also available here.
