1. Big Ben
The reason I was in Malacca was the opportunity to taste for myself Portuguese cuisine, both from Portugal and Malaysia’s Portuguese community.
2. Sambal Pipinyu
3. Devil's Curry Chicken
As you can imagine, it was a trip that saw us stuffing ourselves from morning till night. I’m not complaining, though!
4. Beef Semur
5. Fish Curry Maraydoo
This is one restaurant that is like a hidden gem even among the locals. Called Big Ben’s Restaurant, Café & Cottage Industry, it is located at the underutilised Limkokwing Academy of Creativity & Innovation within the one and only Portuguese Settlement in Ujong Pasir, Malacca.
6. Inchi Mintu
7. Kambreng Tambrinyu
Perhaps Limkokwing Academy doesn’t ring a bell. Well, the building was formerly Lisbon Hotel. Ah-ha!
8. Mulyu
9. Portuguese Baked Fish
Our lunch here, prepared by Big Ben himself, was THE opportunity to try authentic Malaccan Portuguese cuisine. As you can see, they are all spicy! The difference is just in their different levels of spiciness.
10. Portuguese Fried Mee
11. Portugal De Yami Manggala
Prior to this meal, the only Portuguese dish that I have eaten was Devil’s Curry. Suffice to say, with a full course meal like this, it was a great culinary experience for me and I am already thinking of making another trip here. Luckily, it’s not difficult to locate now that In know Big Ben’s hiding spot.
