Nadeje Brings A Brand New Meaning For Cafe

Tired of hanging out in McD and Friends Cafe all week? Where else to slack around in Melaka? Is Melaka City so boring till this extent? No you dorks just got to move around and dig out new places. As a matter of fact, there are a lot of good cafes in the city which some remain isolated within housing estates.

Today, i shall introduce Nadeje a cafe in town that runs with its own style and character. Tea time is simply not the same with cakes, pastries and all sorts of tea selections. Myself and the team have tasted their cakes which are creamy , soft and addictive which makes us keep ordering for more. It is sweet but with the right amount of sugar not the sort that will leave us with diabetes but it sure gives us a sugar rush!

The difference between this cafe and others in town apart from its cakes , i shall say the interior design of the cafe. Sofa seats, tinted glass, dim lights and walls filled with artistic values. Washrooms, yea the cafe's toilets are rather one of a kind in Melaka for they have got paintings of kamasutra positions all over the wall. I believe it is a prevention measure to avoid other customers with tendency to vandalise toilet walls with ridiculous drawings, might as well put up drawings of their own.

The cakes varies from strawberry to green tea and original. A kilogram of the cake will cost us RM 70 and a slice of it should cost us RM 9. We had slices of every different cake just for a start and for beverages we had strawberry milk tea, blueberry soda and a pot of rose tea that was served in a rather unique approach.

The pot of rose tea comes with a timer like those sand clock used by the ancient Egyptians. Once the sand falls from one end to the other end, it signifies that the tea is ready to be served and the same routine is repeated each time we tend to pour our tea.

Rose Tea, timer and all

Good jazz albums just makes our hearts grow fonder of the place, reluctant to step out. Too bad, it only operates from 10am to 12pm. Two branches of Nadeje can be found in Melaka. The main branch is located at the back of Mahkota Parade shopping mall (Mahkota Square). In case it is hard to locate, tea time lovers can also visit Dataran Pahlawan mall and scout for Old Town Coffee. It is situated on the same upper floor. N reporting to you from Ben-m
