One of the best carrot cake and get the o pi oh. Which is the fish cake and crackers.
Small little coffee shop for breakfast , would recommend if living around the area
NICE KOPI! AND THE FISHBALL AND CHEECHEONGFUN MUST TRY!
Old world charm. The fishball was good. The char ta koay was the highlight n simply taste great. Great kopi.
It's best to park a little far away as parking near there will make traffic difficult for everyone. But the food and service, very tasty and warm

Good local place with variety of dishes available at good prices
This is a popular coffee shop in the Ujong Pasir area of Melaka. There are numerous stalls within this coffee shops. The fried radish cake is good. The fish balls with prawn crackers (sadly it operates only on weekends) is also recommended. The Chee Cheong Fun is very smooth and recommended too. The coffee shop serves the usual coffee shop choices. Only cash is accepted here. Cleanliness is acceptable. Service is reasonable. May have to wait slightly longer during weekends. Prices are reasonable. Parkings are roadside parkings. Patrons on wheelchairs can patronize this shop easily. 93-07-2022 : Chee Cheong Fun with Yong Tofu Ingredients are recommended. 16-10-2022 : Business back to normal. Usual crowds are back. Prices has not changed much. Food quality and portions remained 01-03-2025 : their Fish Balls and Crackers still fantastic and recommended.
