MALACCA may be awash with glossy cafes and tourist-facing food joints, but tucked among the heritage shophouses are family-owned establishments quietly carrying the torch for Peranakan cuisine. These are not the kind of places with choreographed social media backdrops or neon signs screaming for your attention, instead, they are defined by personal touches, intimate spaces and recipes guarded like family heirlooms.
theSun visited three of them: Wild Coriander, Peranakan Place Signature and Cottage Spices, each with its own personality, quirks and flavour footprint.
