This is probably the most popular food outlet along the famous Jonker Street in Malacca. It has quite a number of offerings. Pernakan style food, desserts as well as home-made kuih are among the delicacies served in this shop.

Baba Chendol

There are 2 stalls on the outside. One serves a variety of noodle-based dishes, as well as some finger food. The other stall serves desserts, namely ais kacang and chendol.

Whenever I am around the area, I would definitely drop by for the chendol. Just like any other chendol, it comes with the green chendol jelly, ice, santan and red beans. But the best thing about it is the thick gula melaka (palm sugar) that they pour on the top. Mmmmmmm, that is what makes it special. Of the late, I've been asking them to add more sugar. However, I find that their quality isn't very consistent. On one day, the santan didn't really taste that nice, making the dish pretty bland. The next day when I went back, the santan was creamy and tasty. Among the other dishes that they also serve are ais kacang, Eight-Precious Chendol (I have never tried it before, but it looks like it comes with 8 variety of ingredients) and mango and durian flavoured ais kacang/chendol.

Dessert Menu

As I mentioned earlier, the other stall serves noodle dishes. I've only tried the Nyonya Asam Laksa and the Baba Laksa. Among the two, I very much prefer the Asam Laksa. As the name implies, this one is a little bit sour. It comes with rice noodle, tuna, prawn, half an egg, wanton and some sliced cucumber and onion on the top. I don't think I have tasted a dish like this anywhere else, so it is definitely worth a try. The Baba Laksa is very much like the curry mee that you can get elsewhere. It comes with meehoon, tuna, tahu-pok, loh-bak, prawn and sliced cucumber and onion. Most of the people that have tried this said that it isn't as good as the Asam Laksa.

Inside the shop, they serve a variety of kuih-muih, as well as some home-made dishes. They also have some historial artefacts and relics on display inside the shop.

Overall, the Museum Cafe serves up some pretty decent meal, and I highly recommend the cendol.

Location: It has a strategic address, 88 Jonker Street (Jalan Hang Jebat). Just look for a signboard with the number 88.

Jasmine - Krishnan Banana Leaf Restauran   | 118.100.102.xxx | 2010-01-24 00:15:12 This was first time and will be my last I will ever patronize Krishnan Banana Leaf Restaurant located at Rumah Pangsa Batu Berendam, Melaka On 19 Jan 2010 (Tues), my parents and myself came here for lunch at 12.30pm. I was wearing a faded T-shirt as it was my off day from work. I sat at the only empty table inside the restaurant while my parents went to the food counter to select food. Moments later, a big crowd came in. The fat, loud and arrogant Indian proprietor (man in his 40s) in a rude and loud voice asked me to shift to the small table outside the restaurant, the five-foot way. I told him I preferred to sit where I was because it was more comfortable inside but he rudely and loudly said to me Reply 0   0
