Lei Cha ~ Kg Machap Baru

Kampung Machap Baru, Alor Gajah, Melaka

Favorite Hakka Lei Cha Rice stall

You may choose to have your Lei Cha with white rice or rice crispies




Look at the yummy soup!

We found this stall in 2018. That time, we got to enjoy Lei Cha right in front of their house.
Today, you get to sit in any nearby kopitiam and they will bring the Lei Cha to you!

Acanthopanax Trifoliatus ~ grown in abundance in their backyard!

For us personally, the soup has to have one very important ingredient to make it REAL lei cha. This ingredient is called Acanthopanax Trifoliatus or Ku Ye Xin / Kulixin / Ku Lek Sim 苦刺心 . It makes the soup taste uniquely bitterish which is unexplainably super yummy.



A little thorny green herb
