famous malaccan baba chendol and nonya laksa

As part of our annual pilgrimage to Malacca, a group of friends and I always stay at this hotel called Hotel Puri near the famous Jonker Street. It is along Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock, and is actually a traditional Peranakan house/mansion which used to be the home of some famous Malaccan pioneer (whose name eludes me).

There is also a pub (Geographer’s Cafe) around the corner which we love for the chill-out factor (although the live music could wake the dead).
