Hamdan Hamid Travel Site: September 2015

Last Tuesday we drove to Malacca for Asam Pedas. It is prepared by cooking fish, meat or chicken in tamarind (asam) fruit juice and chili paste.

The drive from Kuala Lumpur to Malacca took 2 hours. We took Ayer Keroh exit to get to Hajah Rahmah Asam Pedas restaurant. After the toll plaza, drive for 4km to road M12. After 2km, turn right to road M107. The stall is 4.6km on the left. GPS Coordinate

We reached the stall just in time for lunch. The place is always packed with office workers and families. However we managed to get a table for 4 people. No reservation is required. Just walk in to find an empty table. A bowl of asam pedas half cut fish cost RM18 can cater for 3 people. Other than asam pedas, other local dishes such as sambal(paste) petai with bilis(anchovies), fried fish n chicken, are also served. Dessert are also available.
