Bridging the gap between Old and New Melaka.
As we meet the final day of 2023, we wanted to highlight some hopes and dreams shared during the Laujiat marketplace event that we had.
Ray speaks of what his hopes are for Kneading Peacee, a social enterprise and also as a Melakan, and Vanessa of Scully’s Heritage speaks of her hopes for Melaka.
For 2024, our immediate hope is to find a good team member to establish our snackbar collaboration with Donald and Lily. Do message us if you know anyone who might be interested!
Wishing our friends a blessed start to the year that will be 2024.
Meet our co-organizer Jojo or Jo Lim from Burps Brewery.
We met Jo in one of our marketplace activities just after the pandemic. A computer science masters student from MMU, she also has a penchant for heritage, and we are so grateful that she has also volunteered her time towards the Heritage Trades of Melaka exhibition-event earlier this year.
In this short video you’ll hear about how Jo started her small business Burps Brewery during the pandemic, and her hopes for Melaka, as a Melakan.
Thanks Jo for walking this journey together while you’re still studying. We look forward to working on a few more marketplace activities together in 2024 before you join the real world and fly the coop
In this short video Fika introduces us to Baked by Kinotkuniya, a home-based bakery from Bukit Katil Melaka.
Raynier then shares about Kneading Peace, a social enterprise that helps refugee communities, based in Jalan Hang J***t. Raynier also introduces a bit of Swiss Culture through the food offered at the Cafe, with an infusion of his Malaysian roots.
Thanks guys for being part of the Laujiat Market! Co organized with Burps Brewery and Donald and Lily.

Caroline who initiated her own start-up Pie Tee just a year ago, shares her journey of spreading her own wings from her mother's well-known restaurant.

Adam and his Laksa Bib
He saunters into the shop, requests his laksa fix, plonks himself at the table and then is in deep thought for a moment.
“You got an apron ah?”
He points at his pristinely clean white t-shirt.
“tissue can?”
“Nolah, need something bigger.”
And so, laksa bibs are now on loan, while you enjoy a Donald and Lily signature laksa.
P.S Thank you Adam for being so sporting!

Professor Wong himself grew up in Melaka, and is from the family of Ta Chong 大众 business. [See Photograph 4: Madam Wong, proprietor of Ta Chong Kopitiam and the former Ta Chong Ice Cafe.]

Donald and Lily’s signature Mee Siam is on the menu this week!
Generally made from thin, rice vermicelli noodles, gaining its name and flavours of being hot, sour and sweet from Thai influence. It is believed that this dish originated from Penang but was a much loved staple of street food culture, and also cooked in Peranakan Chinese households.
Jennifer brings back this signature dish, which had been served in her family from the the days of when Uncle Donald began operating his push-cart business. Made from noodles, eggs, cucumber, and lime served with a tangy Assam Jawa sauce made from Donald and Lily’s Sambal Paste.
P.s Laksa is on a break this month (unless the chef can be convinced otherwise).
