Day 3: Wednesday, 22nd April 2013
Care to join us for a seafood dinner? :p Seafood is the best food you could ever ask for. And Portuguese Settlement is famous for its seafood! The best part of it? The seafood restaurants are right by the sea! So you get to feel the cool breze and enjoy your food at the same time. Even the prices are affordable. =)
Even on weekdays, there are still quite a number of people who would have their dinner here. On weekends, the whole place would be more crowded! There are about 8 to 10 restaurants so it's up to you to decide and pick which restaurant you would want to try out. I would recommend you to eat at my uncle's restaurant called The Straits in the Portuguese Square, but sadly it is under renovation for now and will open again in August this year. So, it will be a newer restaurant in Coconut Island! You can get delicious seafood at The Straits for a really good price. However, Restaurant Number 3 and 88 Seafront Restaurant at the Coconut Island serves good seafood as well.
Too bad both restaurants were closed on the same day so my friends and I decided to try Restaurant number 2 called Joan & El'Chico's Restaurant.
We waited quite some time for our food.
And when the food came, it was seafood photoshoot time! =D
It finally came! Squid Fritters! My favourite! It was RM15.00 per dish.
Next came the prawns! It's RM25 for a small dish, RM 35 for a medium dish and RM45 for a big dish.
Of course, everyone knows what's rice...
Vege of the day: Kangkung garlic!
RM6.00 (S), RM8.00 (M), RM10.00 (L)
Tadaaaaa~ The famous Portuguese baked fish! Spicy but yummy!
RM5.00 & RM5.50 / 100gram
Lastly, Black Pepper Crab. Awesome seafood we had!
RM60.00 for a kilo but the waitress gave us for RM55.
In the end, the meal costed each of us about RM20 plus only.
Worth it for me and my happy tummy! =)
I bet you know where to head to if you're deciding on having seafood for dinner. When you drive into the settlement, you only have to pay RM1 for a very spacious parking lot right beside Coconut Island. That is where you will find all of the seafood restaurants. The taxi fare from Malacca Town to the Portuguese Settleent costs about minimal RM15 and the Panorama Bus ticket cost RM1. There are also small souveneir stalls right in front of the restaurants. and once you've filled your tummy, you can always take a slow walk to the jetty or by the sea with your love ones. Trust me, its one of the best moments ever! =)
While we were walking back, we saw a stall grilling horseshoe crabs (belangkas) and there were alive ones on the table! From what I heard, horseshoe crabs tastes very good as well and it'll cost you about RM15-20. You can order and try them in the stall beside Restaurant Number 1.
Location of the Portuguese Settlement!
In my opinion, it's always good to try new food. So, why not come down to the Portuguese Settlement and try the delicious seafood here which are Portuguese cuisines? =)
GOODNIGHT BLOGGERS! <3
