Popiah Stall at Jalan Bunga Raya

Look for Madam King’s Emporium when trying to find this stall for some crunchy and yummy popiah. What makes this popiah stand out from others is the addition of crispy pork lard in its filling, giving it that extra crunch when you bite into it.

Ban Lee Siang Satay Celup
Do you like the taste of the sweet-savoury satay sauce with the crunchy bite of peanuts? If you do, then you will love satay celup. This is essentially a hotpot but instead of using soup, they use satay sauce for you to dip the skewers of food in to be cooked. Try it to believe it!

Chop Chung Wah
Chop Chung Wah serves Hainanese chicken rice with a twist, the rice are rolled into balls, which somehow makes it tastier than normal chicken rice. This dish is signature to Malacca, there are several other restaurants which sell this but Chop Chung Wah is one of the best.
