Listed as one of the World Heritage City of UNESCO, Melaka is still very much filled with the multi-cultural heritage of the East and West from the 500 years of trading at the Straits of Melaka.
With such diverse culture, it's no suprise for its direct influence on the local delicacies.
Located just across the Stadhuys building, beside the Melaka river is an undiscovered treasure of authentic Nyonya cuisine.
Welcome to Taragon Restaurant & Bistro
Serving a wide selection of sumptious must-try nyonya cuisine, this place also serves some fine Western dishes
To start things off,
A refreshing glass of Tropical Sunset (RM7.90) as we look through the many available mouth-watering dishes in the menu
Taragon Dory Fish (RM16.90). Served with salad and mashed potatoes. Which is good news to my hungry stomach.
Sambal Bendi (RM14)
Might be a tad bit spicy for some, but it's made to 'authentic nyonya style' standards. Sure to satisfy your taste buds.
Chilli Garam Prawns (RM28)
Another one of my favourite, fresh crunchy prawns alongside spicy gravy. Guarantee you'll want more!
The variety of dishes that we ordered
Given such variety, all of it seems to compliment each other in taste which is a major plus to the whole dining experience here.
Finally, for dessert,
Nyonya Cendol (RM3.90)
U ain't tried no Melaka cendol yet, till you've tasted Taragon's very own Nyonya Cendol. Smooth and thoroughly refreshing, it'll leave you wanting more.
A private lounge is also available on the upper level that caters to functions with openings that overlooks the river and the scenic hustle in the heart of town.
Good food amidst great ambience and friendly staff, this IS the place to go to complete your Melaka experience!
