Jetty for fishermen. We can buy fresh fish, shrimp, etc. I bought 2 shrimp, a head of a jenahak fish & a sea mussel. I asked the chef at the Asam Pedas Alzah stall to cook it for me. Perghhh...! Delicious.

To me this is one of the best but underrated asam pedas in Malacca. You can buy fresh fish like red snapper, pari, jenahak etc next door and ask Kak Azizah to cook it fresh for you.

The food is surprisingly good, the spicy assam, the lala or big green cengkerang thing cicah with the soy sauce was marvelous. Spicy assam is not spicy, it's not spicy with my throat, spicy assam ikan mayong is a must try for this shop but i arrived late so it's finished, spicy assam pari and jenahak is delicious.
