Who doesn’t like biscuits? For me they are the ultimate travel snacks keeping the hanger pangs at bay when the journey seems long and the next eatery is kilometers away. I make sure to always have them with me. So when happyfoodies, gets a chance to visit the factory of Julie’s Biscuits (not to be confused with Julie’s Bakeshop in the Philippines) Malaysia’s most popular biscuit brand in (Melaka) Malacca, I felt like a kid off to a field trip. I was also excited to know what made Julie’s the queen of biscuits in this country.
A Taste of Nyonya Heritage at Seroni
Malaysian food is as rich as its history. In between our exploration of the heritage sites in Malacca, we got a chance to experience Peranakan Cuisine where it originated — Malacca. Recipes dating as far back as the 15th century still exist, evolving to what is now known as Nyonya Cuisine. In a restaurant tucked beside the hidden side street of Taman Melaka Raya, we found Seroni Nyonya Cuisine Restaurant. The establishment is owned by one of the last descendants of the Baba-Nyonya family, so we’re expecting to taste authentic Nyonya Cuisine.
