Summoned by Christina to Malacca for food, i nodded my head like kid agree to mum for the deal of sweet-and-study. Yeah! Off we went with gusto. Kim joined too!
Christina pretty familiar what’s should try here. 1st stop, we tried the Siew Yuk Rice which was not in my list, neither my ‘Bible’ nor blogger news.
None at this alleyway……………….a few steps after this…………….
Crowded than ever u imagine………..
Both side of the seat were occupied and all were selling the same foods; Roast stuff, Curry Chicken Rice and some veges.
Christina forgotten which is the one, yet it not a problem for us to point out. Definitely the 1st stall on the right hand side. Blatant answer from the crowd and non-stop ta-bauing by passer-bys.
Char Siew…………….
Lean but not dry and tough with ‘Q’ of every bite. Sweetness was from the honey poured over later, still was not able to cover the not fresh porky taste which i ‘yuak!!!!’ and stopped for this.
Siew Yuk and Siew Cheong…………….
Siew Cheong was rather firm bite compare to other i had. Still, detected little porky taste too. Siew Yuk was the best with pretty crispy on the fried surface.
Based on Christina, what’s make this stall special was the curry sauce given to go with the rice apart from the roast stuff’s essence. However, i prefer the original serve.
Braised cabbages was best suited to my liking; soft and fresh while ability to wash off the oiliness.

I had 3 recommended Cendol on 1st and 2nd trip, left this only! Must try!
I have particular fondness to this miniature eatery; regardless of its cartoon-like name and size. I always links to Donald and Daisy for its name; Donald and Lily and Snow White and Seven Dwarfs for its tiny size. One might easily neglect its existence should u dont know its fame. I couldnt imagine how pack was the eatery, yet people still flocks to its specialty and willing to wait just to sample its food.
Due to the popular demand, for those who just want to quench their thirst with Cendol only, downstair is only allowed to sit. Upstair only for food.
Three of us even enjoying the Cendol by standing outside. What’s 1st time experience i had. Anyhow, the Cendol was not the best, but the slipperly smooth and springy jade green cendol was the best i had. Topped up another Rm1.10 for sago which also different from others with ‘QQ’ texture albeit some of them were uncooked. What’s minus the point is the concoction between Gula Melaka and Santan. Not as thick as compare to the others.

Pork Sate! Pork Sate! Christina keep on mentioning ever since our journey. Must try! Some more, i fancy sate very much.
Not much diners by the time we were there; which Christina used to have to lie up for quite long just to get a seat. Diners are needless to order as the serving will came to the table automatically, even just after the last stick of sate finished until u have to exclaim ’stop’.
Pork, Chicken and Intestine sate……………
Rm0.60 per stick is considered a standard price, yet so little for this which i opined slightly on the steep side.
Rm98.20??? We were flabbergasted upon hearing the sum that have to pay just for sate at the next table beside us. Even themselves also shocked.
Back to the sate, i still prefer the Paloh and Traders with decent marination. This was just plain with mild fragrance of turmeric only. Not as chewy as Paloh one, soft which one might wonder whether is pork. I dun feel any specialty of it but yes for the peanut gravy. Genuine Hainanese style with the participation of pineapple. 1st time i have. The peanut gravy made not spicy to adapt the public’s taste which prefer spicy of i definitely denied for it. Yet, the sourness from the pineapple had distinguished it from the crowd. It’s a great experience for me.
Ketupat…………….1st time i had but the filling was the common rice-pressed. Ok for this!
Definitely suited to Christina’s liking………………….

I try to forgot it but so hard! I had it before, hence i wanna reserve space for others food which yet to try. Still, i excused myself by saying that Christina and Kim havnt try or even never seen this before. Haha! I leaded them to there eventually.
Yes! Nadeje Pattisserie again. Name which even have some difficulties for me to read. This round, i went for the Chocolate Banana flavour.
Good! Quality and taste still maintained and consistent to my previous experience. Paper-thin of crepes sandwiched chocolate Banana creams, fit sweetness. 2 tries, i like the Original flavour.
Mocha Slice…………….
Kim tried this which appeared to be abnormal for me when u come not for their specialty. Anyhow, this was not bad too. Decent and moist chocolate cake with Mocha cream.
There is a rule to order at least a drinks when dining here even though plain water for us would do. Hence, we went for Long Black. 应酬咯！
Nothing to complain should the crew provides prompt service. We waited for at least 20 minutes for them to approach and take order. Then, what for we paid for the service tax?

We stuffed, still Christina insisted to try this Chicken Rice.
It not as famous as Famosa, Chung Wah or Hoe Kee which is yet to try, still it was quite good. Better than Famosa and on par with Chung Wah.
I have no ideal Heng got relationship with Hoe Kee, hence my judgement was not affected as what Christina told us.
Heng caters other Hainanese dishes too……………….
Black Bean Soup…………..a bit oily but none of MSG used.
Braised Cabbages……………………like it as well.
An essential condiment to go with chicken rice…………Chung Wah’s tastier.
I would say this was better than Chung Wah which former was a bit at the dry side.
Chicken was ok with the texture; gravy to accompany with was in thicken form which different from Chung Wah. I prefer the former.
If u had tried what i mentioned, no harm to give Heng a try.
