Refreshing Coconut Wine#wheretogo #melaka #coconutwine My visit to Nachi Toddy at the Portuguese Settlement in Melaka was a delightful journey into the heart of local culture, offering a unique and refreshing experience with their coconut wine. Tucked away in Medan Selera, this hidden gem introduced me to the authentic flavors of Melaka in the most refreshing way possible. The moment I took my first sip of Nachi Toddy, I was captivated by its natural sweetness and the subtle hint of coconut. It was not just a beverage; it was a taste of the land, a sip of Melaka’s rich heritage. The coconut wine was incredibly refreshing, making it the perfect choice, especially in the warm and tropical atmosphere of Melaka. The balance of flavors was impeccable, and it was evident that the drink was crafted with care and expertise. What struck me the most was the passion of the people behind Nachi Toddy. The boss were not just serving a drink; they were sharing a part of their culture and heritage. Their knowledge about the coconut wine, its preparation, and the traditions associated with it added depth to the experience, making it more than just a casual drink but an insightful cultural journey. In conclusion, Nachi Toddy offers more than just a refreshing coconut wine; it provides a glimpse into the soul of Melaka. For anyone looking to immerse themselves in the local flavors and traditions, this hidden spot is a must-visit. Each sip of Nachi Toddy is a toast to Melaka’s heritage, leaving a lingering taste of the rich history and warmth of the local community. I left Nachi Toddy with a sense of contentment, having not just tasted a delightful beverage but having experienced a slice of Melaka’s authentic charm. Cheers to Nachi Toddy and the vibrant spirit of Melaka!Ssquare2
No.7 @ Portuguese Settlement, MelakaFirst time back @ No.7 @ Portuguese Settlement, Melaka since covid in 2019. Was wondering if the standards may have changed, but after giving it a taste, all these doubts immediately disappeared Taste is still as great as i remember. Price of meal also very reasonable. Each Large sized crab is only RM100, instead of the usual per KG prices at other places. Really a come-back place for me!Jon Peh

Monterios Portuguese Seafood Stall#foodie what a great seafood dinner at Monterios Portuguese Seafood Stall. We really enjoyed the salted egg crab, lala with ginger, Portuguese style otak-otak, Muili (Portuguese style egg plant) which is so special and delicious that I never had it anywhere else in Malaysia before and the green sauce is cooked with spices. Highly recommend. There are disadvantages of this place that you will be harassed by the store service staff to convince you to dinner at their store.fishingrabbit3

a place to visit during ChristmasThe Portuguese Settlement Melaka, or Kampung Portugis, is located a couple of kilometres outside of Melaka city centre in an area known as Ujong Pasir and is home to a small community of around 1,000 people descended from early Portuguese settlers.

Good place for food and drinks. Fresh crab and seafood available.
Portuguese Settlement id situated in an area of Ujong Pasir, Malacca. The villagers are mixed Portuguese and Malay/Indian heritage (descendants of the Portuguese who colonized Malacca in 1511), and they speak Portuguese.Visitors come here for Portuguese foods at evening time.
The first bullet for New Year's Eve 2020 trip ～ Malacca, Malaysia. After dinner, I went to the mall, and then went back to the hotel. I saw that the time was still a little early. I simply went to the Portuguese village next to the hotel to see it. This village is all descendants of the original Portuguese. Now it is all seafood stalls. It is very late at night. There are still many diners, blowing the sea breeze. Eat some seafood. Very comfortable.
The Portuguese Settlement is a cultural enclave in Melaka, Malaysia. Home to descendants of Portuguese colonists, it preserves traditions through vibrant festivals, delicious cuisine, and colorful architecture, offering a unique glimpse into Melaka's multicultural history.
Called Mini Lisbon, this is where the descendants of the Portuguese live in Malacca. The best time to go here is around Christmas. The reason is that the existing houses will be decorated.
Maybe the epidemic relationship, there are not many tourists here, and when you enter the village, the store is constantly competing for customers. There are several Portuguese people who deal with it, but the one we eat is opened by Chinese. The things are more heavy and the Hong Kong people may not be used to it. Macau's Portuguese cuisine is still delicious, and the Portuguese village of Malacca is still close to Southeast Asian tastes. In addition, I tried mango juice, which was also 10 points sweet.
