This family-run restaurant furnishes a treasure trove of Malaccan food whipped up by Auntie Melba Nunis, a cheerful matriarch who acquired her passion and prowess for cooking by helping her own mother in the kitchen. Auntie Mel's lovingly prepared food _ including assam prawns _ is a valentine to anyone who adores wholesome recipes handed down through generations of women who wanted to feed their families as best as they possibly could.

Auntie Mel's lovingly prepared food _ including assam prawns _ is a valentine to anyone who adores wholesome recipes handed down through generations of women who wanted to feed their families as best as they possibly could.
Kari Buah Keluak, a treat that KL's residents can finally enjoy regularly. These seeds of creamy "black gold" provide a pleasantly bitter nuttiness that complements both the chicken & the curry. Currently available here strictly on weekends, but expect it to be a daily fixture soon.
Karing-karing. Crispy dried threadfish, kinda like super-sized ikan bilis. Utterly addictive.
Don't diss the desserts. A familiar favorite: Sago Biji Gula Melaka, as great as it gets.The motto of Simply Mel's is "Beng Naki Kumi!" _ a Kristang-language call for the family to come to the table and chow down. With food like this, we wouldn't need to be told twice.
