Cooling Down with Uncle Keong Delicacies
It was a clear and sunny day in Melaka. Walking at the narrow alleys of the historical heritage town at mid-day, we could feel the sun bearing on our backs on our way to our first eat stop for the Date with Bloggers event in Melaka. And as few beads of sweat rolled from our foreheads, we were filled with delight to see the refreshing sight of Uncle Keong’s Delicacies.

Melaka: Biting into The Goodness of Julie’s Biscuits
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.
