Variety of malay food & kuih here. Soto, lontong, nasi lemak, laksa nyonya and roti canai to name a few. Prices are affordable but you can pass on the drinks. It was too sweet despite saying kurang manis. Must try kuih keria! Recommended

A lot of sweet and savoury selections of kuih. Including local breakfast such as nasi lemak, roti jala and roti canai. There are ample parking at the back of shop. But as it was not properly covered so probably not ideal to park when it rains or after heavy rains. Overall the food was good.

If you're a fan of traditional Melaka kuih, this spot is worth a visit. We particularly enjoyed the karipap, with its crispy golden crust and flavorful filling, and the bingka ubi, which was perfectly sweet and rich in texture. The pulut kuning with rendang ayam was a standout—soft, fragrant rice paired with tender, flavorful chicken rendang that left us wanting more. However, the nasi lemak was average, lacking the bold flavors we were hoping for. While not every dish impressed, the overall experience was satisfying, especially for those seeking authentic kuih and hearty local fare.

We were looking for a place for lunch when arriving on our trip to Melaka. After searching for some places, Perhentian Kuih Kampong came out as our choice to try. This places offers an assortment of Malay Kuehs, which is rare in a single shop. We say the Kueh hit the spot quite nicely without being overly priced, not too sweet, and with the right “lemak-ness”. (but of course this depends on individual taste buds lah). We ordered the Nasi kerabu with grill chicken and Nasi ayam (chicken rice) For the Nasi kerabu, Rice and the gravy and vege condiments were nice with the right spiciness, but the chicken was a bit dry. The Chicken rice was however not quite up to the palate but “alright”. It should be juicy, and the right lack the fragrance of the “chicken rice”. In conclusion, this is a reasonably acceptable place for a good lunch with the variety of options, and can be tried out on your next visit to Melaka. Quite a few patrons were seen ordering “ikan Assam pedas”… was thinking… is this their popular dish? Note: it’s about 15 mins drive away from the city Centre in a place called Semabok.

We went to Restoran Perhentian Kuih Kampong in Semabok, Melaka for lunch. They had lots of local dishes, including Melaka's famous Asam Pedas and Nyonya Laksa, as well as Nasi Ayam and different kinds of soup. There were many other choices too. For the three of us, the total bill was RM 33.50. We ordered Nasi Ayam, Nyonya Laksa, and a set of Keli Sambal Berlado. We found seats easily when we arrived, and there was parking available. We didn't have to wait long for our food. The taste was pretty good, maybe a 7 out of 10 for us. The place was clean, and the environment was nice. It looks like they also serve breakfast in the morning. Overall, it was a good experience!"

Have been patronizing this establishment for 30+ years & the food here is still super delicious! Absolutely love their Roti Canai, Kacang Pool, Nasi Lemak, Soto Ayam, Asam Pedas, etc. They use to be at Ujong Pasir & recently moved here. It's more windy & spacious at this new place with more parking space. Love this place!
