Specialising in the spicy and fragrant Kristang cuisine devised by Malakans of mixed Portuguese and local decent, this elegant restaurant in the historic wing of the colonial-era Majestic Hotel is a perfect spot for a special meal while you're in town. It's also one of the few places where good-quality wine is served. The laksa here is particularly delicious.
