First time I was here, I was drawn by the long queqe in front of the store. And the line of people didn't lie, I had the best laksa I've ever tasted. Tried the asam laksa and the santan one. But when I came back on the next visit one year later, I was kinda dissapointed with the tasted, still... More

I'm Malaccan. The environment of Jonker 88 is good, the noodles are so nice. Just one thing I feel truly angry and disappointing, the cendol / ice kacang / ABC is too bad! Just simply put some syrup on the ice, without much ingredients in it, and for the Malacca "ice kacang", one of the most important ingredients is original... More

If you like Baba Assam Laksa and Chendol...this is the place. the ambience is nice as you experience how a "baba" place looks like once inside it, the old chairs, tables and high ceiling fans...but just a bit too crowded. The chendol (ice with various toppings like coconut milk and Melaka famous brown sugar syrup) is the best I have... More

The 2 foods are heavenly. Gula Melaka in the Chendol is diabetic, yet so yummy. Assam Laksa gives a totally different taste from normal one! The long queue and lack of tables requires some waiting. Must take note of the timing as we missed the food on the first day we were there.

Take it from a Malaysian who has been eating cendol and ice kacang (or ABC) all her life - what this place serve is far from the real thing. The durian cendol has only a hint of durian and the coconut milk taste like canned stuff, not fresh. And the ais kacang is not rich and milky, and has only... More

I love the ABC and the Laksa. The place is always packed, and it's hard to get a place to sit there, but it's worth it to wait! My brother who was no fan of durians (king of fruits) ended up LOVING the durian cendol abc. (recommended) The laksa was DELICIOUS. i do not take spicy food, but for this,... More

Try Taiping cendol, Penang cendol and so many other places... But disappointing in Melaka cendol using packet santan... Why in the world they do this... Don't you know gula melaka can't blend well with this packet santan... No matter how troublesome to produce original santan, it has to be fresh santan..Because of us food bloggers many have blinded by the... More
