After a long touristy day trip in Malacca, we finally got to settle for dinner @ Taragon Restaurant & Bistro. It’s situated right opposite Christ Church Malacca, also along the Malacca river. If I’m not mistaken, it’s an old bungalow, revamp and become a Restaurant/Bistro. Serving Nyonya and Western Foods! was so exited when I received a call that we're going for a food review session at a restaurant beside the river. Here's how the place look like.
Million thanks to Darling Joanne Kay for the offer and Mr Gwei, the Owner of Taragon Restaurant. We, 6 of us all the way from KL manage to do a food review session for them in the very last minute!
Photos below taken without flash! Not really that nice. It's a sudden thing so yeah. Anyway, let's check out Taragon, Malacca!
Florence, Baldwin and Xiang !
Bryan, Chammaine and ME!
With Taragon's Boss, Mr Gwei and wife, Sharize. :)
The amount of food we ordered! Around 10-12 dishes. Yummsssss. Are you ready to eat virtually with me?
Fruit juices; 4.90MYR
Refreshing. VERY! mango and pineapple Juices. when you're having spicy dishes and stuff, you will feel thirsty!
Fettucine Concasser; 12.90MYR
Claim that it was as same standard what they have it in the UK! Certified by an ENGLISH Chef in Malacca. Typical Italian dish. Just to try out whether their western/Italian dishes are as good as the Nyonya dishes. because they seems pioneer with their Nyonya style dishes!
Taragon Dory Fish; 16.90MYR
This is something unique! Usually you don't see this around. It's more like Cordon Bleu but inside the dory fish, it has cheese inside oozing out and melts in you mouth! you needa eat that immediately when it comes to your table. Recommended to eat when it's HOT! Sauce was da bomb. Lastly the mash was perfectly creamy. Thumbs up on this!
Fried Oyster; 28.90MYR
Chef recommendation! Fried Oyster instead of fresh oyster. Nothing will go wrong with fried dishes! Thus, it's perfectly blend with squeeze lemon and dip it in Thai chili cause. Worth trying!
Sambal Bendi; 14.00MYR
I'm not quite a fan of ladies fingers thus the sambal was awesome! with a touch of squeeze lime on it. It tasted very special that no where you can find it but only at Taragon. Chammaine LOVE em.
Chili Garam Prawns; 28.00MYR
This was a recommendation dish as well form the manager. Big juicy prawns with a touch of spiciness around your mouth. Best to eat with white rice!
Terung Bakar; 14.00MYR
I ordered this because im a HUGE fan of brinjal. In Yong Tau Fu, I will ordered as much as I can and only eat brinjalsssss for my lunch. Terung bakar. They grilled it on the griller and serve it with onions, chilies, garlic, spring onions and etc. Love this dish as my vege.
Lemak Nanas Fish; 45.00MYR
I love nenas in lemak dishes because I can taste not only spicy and sour but also sweet in it. The pineapple gives it a sweet taste in the lemak curry fish. Fish is fresh blends very well the pineapples and tomatoes. Best to eat it with plain white rice!
Chicken Asam Buah Keluak; 20.00MYR
This is one unique dish. Called the Chicken Asam Buah Keluak. Buah Keluak??? Mr.Gwei thought us how to eat the buah Keluak. It's a fruit which has a weird taste. I can't define what taste is that but all i know its salty like black beans! But the Chicken asam was awesome! Tasted like the original Nyonya dish which I haven't ate for a very very long time. Highly Recommended!
Itik Tim Soup; 14.00MYR
Duck soup! First time having duck soup in restaurant. It tasted very nice with a duck flavor comes with different types of vege and spices in it. There's salted vege in it as well. Slurppss!!! Perfect soup to complement with all the other Nyonya dishes!
BEST Cendol in Malacca; 3.50MYR
Cendol for dessert! Claim that it's the BEST cendol in Malacca. Their gula malaka they used is concentrated grade A gula malaka instead of the diluted/cheap ones. Thus it gives a very rich favour. not to mentioned that their cendol is coconut milk are freshly made not from the cans/tins.
Done with the FOOD and let's have a look around the Restaurant.
What about the Interior of Taragon you may ask? Fred not! Mr. Gwei & wife toured us around the whole place. We got to tour upstairs, which is not open for customers yet. And outside! Check it out.
Outdoor section by the riverside for chilling purposes. Also for smoking Area.
Indoor section. More for family concept dining.
Upper floor section for function purposes!
Oh yes! They served Beers, Martini and Liquor as well.
Overall ratings. 8/10 Love the place/Food! Pricing is quite affordable. Clean environment as it's quite new. Only 1 year of operation since they opened. Nice location as well. Certainly will go back there again.
Goodbye Malacca! Thank You, Taragon! Maybe now it’s time for you to pay Taragon a visit when you gonna be at Malacca ya.
