Zebra, Melaka Raya Melaka

Pumpkin soup

Chicken

Steak

Zebra suprise

If you fancy western meal for tonight, Zebra Modern Restaurant in Melaka Raya can provide you an alternative instead of hotels or the custom Wok and Pan.

Ambience here is cozy and modern. Service is good. Food wise not too bad. I had alot more than the pictures here with friends. Salad was yumz and appetizing. Soup was also delish. I would give thumbs up for the food presentation! 

Best was dessert! As the name suggest Zebra Suprise! Worth a try if you are bored with the same old same old but be warned price is on the UP side.... It is quite pricey equivalent to Holiday Inn.

Currently they are doing set promotion on Groupon.Why not drop by and give it a try...

My verdict:6/10

Address:108 Jalan Merdeka, Taman Melaka Raya Melaka 75000

Kesington restaurant, Kota Laksamana

This restaurant was newly open last year which has now has increased number of patrons through the week competing against wok and pan for the western food market in Melaka. My first visit there was suprisingly pleasant, manager was attentive and service was quick. Food had presentation then.

As the newcomer became more establish you would have noticed improvement in service and so, but not so for this restaurant. Waiters are overworked with only 3 or 4 servicing the whole restaurant which has 3 different areas. My last visit there was horrible. I didn't even have my dinner by 9.30pm.

I was there with my bf and my sister on a weekend for dinner. We arrived there around 7.30pm. Place our orders- mushroom soup,mussels,seafood pasta,lamb rack and chicken veronique. Drinks was serve after numerous reminders after the starters... Mushroom soup arrive first- too salty. Then next mussels- becoming worst..., then my bf's mains arrived lamb rack- he said was OK. Tick tock tick tock... after my bf has finished his plate of dinner then my sister's pasta arrived- creamy but too sweet. Then the waiting game began, I reminded the waiter about 4 times- yes! on the way... yes 5 more minutes. The next table was fed up with the service too, mains were serve to only 1 guest. Then I had observed that, other tables were served before mine! By 9.30 pm i still didn't have my dinner yet! My sister was almost done with hers, and I had enough of waiting... I went to the opposite hawker stall and bought my dinner. Asked my bf to cancel the order and pay the bill. The bill was ask around 10 minutes previously and the BF got fed up and went to pay at the counter. 

The food in this establishment is not bad but the service deserves a ZERO. A failing establishment is the one that leaves the customer in hunger and anger. I would never come here again.

my verdict: 2/10 (2 for previous better experience) my 2 cents if the restaurant cant cope with the number of customers then do not put out extra tables!

Location: Kesington restaurant, taman kota laksaman near bei zhan ...very obvious from the main road.

 mussels 2 flavour

Casa Cucina, Modern Italian Restaurant, Taman Kota Laksamana Melaka

Yesterday night went out with a bunch of colleagues to celebrate my belated birthday! Accidentally bought 2 different cakes from Yeast bakery and 1 more is still sitting inside my fridge!

So there is a new restaurant serving semi fine dining just opened at Kota Laksamana, the new block/row behind Kesington and Kota Laksamana food court. Very new,chick and modern. Menu wise still limited choices I guess they are still improving themselves! Food wise, pasta was yummy just al dente! Roast chicken and roast fish was also good. Food presentation classy! Starters of pumpkin soup and brushetta was also good. If you want to go on a date and need a new dinner place here may be one of your choice. Price wise is affordable comparable to Kesington minus the noise and slow service.

 The environment

 Pan fried seabass served with roasted potatoes

 Pumpkin soup

 Roasted Chicken with wine sauce

So far they have chicken,pasta and fish for mains. They just added beef and lamb as well (not on the menu yet)

My verdict: 8/10 will definitely go back again (p/s drink can be a bit pricey)

How to get there, from mahkota parade- take the flyover going towards klebang... at the traffic light turn right then turn left again at the shops go to the end and turn right...if you see kesington restaurant and food court you may have just miss the turning in!
