Life has been great lately! Managed to visit Malacca again after 2 months and this time, I had more time discovering the historical city. 🙂

One of the best discoveries was the first Peranakan Hi-Tea buffet at Makan Nyonya Resturant in my favorite Peranakan themed boutique hotel, Estadia Hotel. Makan Nyonya Restaurant is an all-day dining restaurant that offers an endless array of Peranakan cuisine and local specialities.

This Peranakan Hi-Tea Buffet has certainly exceeded my expectation as they serve a wide variety of Baba Nyonya cuisine. From mouth-watering Peranakan appetizers to the delectable main course and desserts, expect to get a taste of Melaka through a colourful culinary journey with family and friends.

In order to bring more excitement on top of their existing menu, Ippudo has been constantly introducing seasonal menu on a quarterly basis. This way, their regulars can always try something new. This seasonal menu will be available from 6th July – 30 September 2015.

IPPUDO - Marinated Cream Cheese with Crispy Seaweed

Let’s start with some appetizers. The first dish we sampled is called Marinated Cream Cheese with Crispy Seaweed. The tiny blocks of cream cheese were marinated with soy sauce beforehand which gives it an amazing flavor.
