Nancy’s Kitchen

Nancy’s Kitchen is a small, family-run Peranakan restaurant. Malacca has a flourishing Peranakan community whose ancestors descend from early Chinese immigrants. Family recipes passed down generations promise a culinary treat inside a restaurant that feels like you’re eating in a neighbour’s house. All dishes (try braised pork or their signature assam fish) use local ingredients and fresh herbs picked daily. This is among the best restaurants in Malacca to taste Peranakan food, as well as some of the city’s best cendol. As a bonus, Nancy’s Kitchen offers cooking classes that teach satisfied customers the tricks of the trade.
