Malacca (Melaka) is the birthplace of much of Malaysia’s famous Nyonya or Peranakan cuisine, where Chinese and Malay cooking traditions collided centuries ago and created something truly magical.
Think rich curries, fragrant coconut milk, spicy sambals, tangy tamarind, aromatic herbs, and recipes passed down through generations of family kitchens. Maybe even the Best Fried Bread Recipe… Signature dishes such as Chicken Pongteh, Ayam Buah Keluak, Nyonya Laksa, Assam Fish, and Otak-Otak showcase the incredible fusion of flavours that make Malacca food so unique.

- 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce;
- A good pinch of sea salt and cracked black pepper;
- A cup of roughly chopped sweet basil;
- 1 loaf of white bread;
- A good litre of oil for frying;
- Mayonnaise; and
- A fresh lemon, cut into quarters.
Ready to rock ‘n’ roll? This is so easy. Here cometh Malacca deep fried bread stuffed with minced beef.
- Fry off the garlic and onion in a wok, until browned;
- Throw in the beef mince and cook until browned as well;
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper, and at the last minute the basil;
- Set aside;
- Stack the loaf up and cut off all the crusts leaving just the white bit of the loaf;
- Using a rolling pin, flatten the little square until they are really thin. This won’t take long. This is your wrapping for the mince for frying;
- Spoon some of the minced meat onto the bread piece and then roll as tightly as you can to a sausage-like shape;
- Secure the sausage with two cocktail sticks and set aside. Repeat this for the whole loaf of bread. You should end up with 25 or so sausages;
- Heat up your oil to circa 230 degrees and then lay in the sausages and fry until the bread is golden brown;
- Scoop them out with a slotted spoon and set them on to a kitchen towel to allow the excess oil to drain.
You are finished. That’s my Malacca deep fried bread stuffed with minced beef.
