    Baba Charlie Nyonya Cake

    Another hidden gem where you can buy all kinds of authentic Nyonya kuihs you can ever imagined under one roof. Too many to choose from, you wish you could camp there and try it all. All are freshly made on the spot. Highly recommended is the ondeh-ondeh (green glutinous rice flour ball with coconut sugar (Gula Melaka) stuffing).

    Bee Bee (Lian Choo) Homemade Pineapple Tarts

    When they say 'homemade' here, they really mean it literally. There's no other homemade delicacy in Malacca that can beat this place as both its production and location are authentically traditional. Oven fresh, these are probably the best local Melaka Nyonya pineapple tarts you will find (there are other more touristy ones scattered in Jonker Street).
