Melaka Food Paradise in Dataran Pahlawan,Level 4 -the card system

Buy a minimum of RM15 preloaded card.But you can only use the cash value of  RM12

So if you think you will  be eating a meal costing more than RM 12 ,pls pre load more.Whatever balance is refundable upon the checkout after your meal.The card has to be returned to the cashier.So I have captured the memory to share.

Melaka food @Dataran Pahlawan Dragon -I

Xiao Long Pau with ginger strips in black vinegar.See picture below.
Eat it by placing the whole dumpling in your mouth.The tasty gravy inside will delight your palete.If you try to bite when the dumpling is not all inside your mouth,you will lose the lovely precious gravy taste.If you order the big single dumpling,you will use a straw to suck the liquid out.In Shanghai,you just leave the meat and dumpling outer wrap uneaten.But as Malaysians,we eat all.Waste not,want not.Just sharing my experience.

Fried taukey (beancurd sheets)wrapped with prawn 

Fried noodles with seafood.Tastes like yee mee after you stir the gravy from beneath.See the fresh cod slices cooked just right,the prawns,crabmeat and cuttlefish.Some greens and carrots to add colour ,flavour and nutrition.You can also substitute the fried noodles with la mien.('pulled' flour noodles)

Fried Spring rolls-yummy,crispy and lots of filling

Mango sago creme with pomelo and mango -very smooth and not too sweet

This is the new outlet @ Pahlawan 1st floor ,up the escalator ,see Uniqlo on your RH ,walk straight ,turn left.
