I read a blog about this being one of th must-visits in Jonker Walk and we took some time to lookg for it. Finally, we found it with the bicycle in front of the shop as described by the blogger. 

There was indeed a bright orange van inside the cafe as described and as seen in the pictures and blog. The coffee is all made at the bonnet of the van opened up. Inside the van, the coffee are kept. So it gives you a real environment and ambience as though you are really buying coffee from the van except that you were not standing on grass and there is a/c. It is really creative of the owner compared to the coffee cafes in KL which is more minimalist yet they charge exorbitant price. 

The ambience inside is great for hangout but the place can only fit less than 10 small tables. There are a red scooter hung on the wall with oven, saloon light and also a bunch of old stuff. 

I ordered the best cappucino (RM 12) in town which has nutty feel to it. It came together with a small cookie. 

My friend ordered his favourite mocha (RM 14) which to him, will determine the rise and death of each coffee care. It was incredibly thick and well-mixed perhaps because the barrista actually put in the cold Farmhouse Low Fat milk into a glass before mixing the coffee separately and pouring it into the milk to be stirred properly. 

I wanted to order Affogato but I didn't want to suffer from insomnia tonight.

Anak Nyonya @ Malacca  Smile Jun 01, 2014

Categories : Malaysian variety | Restaurant

We were searching for something to fill my unsatisfied tummy in Jonker Street. Then this became the first cafe that caught my sight. I thought, why not try cendol since it is touted to be the best in Malacca? So here we are tasting it inside the pretty cafe with decor here and there. There is even a humongous wall poster of A-Famosa Fort. They sell a lot of local biscuits, snacks and coffee for tourists on the shelf. 

The cendol strips of worms were so fresh and not frozen like some I have tasted in KL and from the lorry by the street. The red bean is round and fresh, tasty (I cannot imagine myself commenting red beans as tasty as I usually hate red beans). 

The ice is also refreshing and one can feel the chunks of ice. The Gula Melaka is the winner of the day as it is so thick and delicious, albeit a little too sweet for me. 

There is no overload of santan like the rest of the cafes. 

To me, I feel that the cendol here is better than the one at Jonker 88 as there is less santan, less creamy and fresher. 

The proof of the tastiness of the cendol is my Malay friend even ordered a second bowl! 

Oh, I just have to say this, the washroom is amazingly clean! Good for tourists!

Donald and Lily  Smile Nov 18, 2014

We initially wanted to eat at the famous Amy's Nyonya and Heritage Cafe but by the time we reached at 2pm, the owner refused to serve us anymore. So when we were on the way to town, I chanced upon Donald and Lily's Cafe where I saw it brimming with people at this hour so it raised hopes that it was still open for late lunch. 

I saw many people ordering the Blue Rice with Rendang but my friend did not want it which was a good choice as we ended up so full with only Nasi Ayam Ponyeh (RM 7.80). The chicken  came served with 3 big pieces of potatoes. The gravy was simply awesome, thick and fragrant just the way I like it. 

The chendol's (RM 3.30) shaved ice is not cold and frozen enough and not that great and lacks gula melaka like how it should be. 

The Assam Curry Sting Ray is the most expensive at RM 35 for 1 single big slab of it. The curry is simply irresistible, totally fragrant, thick, with just the right amount of spice and sourness. It was so tasty and finger-licking that I finished every drop of it and ate so much rice that left me full till 8 pm. 

I ordered the original Pineapple Drink which came filled to 3/4 full of pineapple cubes. It was my first time drinking such a pure pineapple juice. 

The Mee Siam also looks tasty but I did not have room for it.

Ayamazz Frank Buns Smile Jul 06, 2014

I arrived late in Equatorial Hotel Melaka. So the nearest place to go was to Dataran Pahlawan. My eyes were scouring the place for fast food since McD was too full of students whereas Secret Recipe may be too slow. 

At last, after a long while, I decided on sausage tomyam spaghetti at Ayamazz booth. The sauce was very thick and very strong with tom yam flavour. Absolutely amazing for the soul. It was served hot with the thick tom yam gravy and the noodles. It was quite reasonably priced at only RM 9.50!

Jonker 88 Smile May 31, 2014

Finally I am here by accident. Last time I wanted to come here but it was too late and we had to rush back to our motel in Muar. But this time I was here in the afternoon looking for hi-tea that is something small and not too filling. We walked and walked and finally found ourselves in front of a cafe with so many people queuing inside and people were eating while standing. Then I looked up and saw the signboard and it was like heaven when it was written, "Jonker 88." 

Everyone had to queue up to order their food and pay when the order and food is given, just like ordering at the hawker. 

The Baba Cendol (RM4) is just normal, like a snowball with thick syrup of gula melaka and some cendol at the bottom. Everything is done fast. The santan is so much and there was a lot of big chunks of santan inside. Very disappointing for cendol, especially since this place is touted to have the best cendol. 

The Kahwin Laksa and Curry Laksa (RM 7) with laksa noodles were very tasty.  The fusion of sour laksa soup and also curry laksa is amazing. There were a big springy fishball, big prawn, 2 big tau pok, taugeh, hard-boiled egg etc. 

The dried sambal cuttlefish (RM 3.50) was so tasty to go with the curry noodles but the temp is just not our taste. 

The place is so steaming hot that any tourist who  eats here can't wait to quickly finish the food and get out of it. Probably people feel that sweat and heat and waiting makes the food tastier. 

The front portion of the cafe had many antiques and also currencies of different countries everywhere on the wall.
