Amelie - February 20

Barb and Sheila originally found this place while looking for beaded shoes. Âmelie is a beautiful tiny restaurant in Georgetown, run by a charming couple, Hung and Yen, who welcomed us into their place and fed us wonderful food. Their exquisite fruit drinks (orange lemon grass, or longan and lime, a lime drink with fresh whole lychees)were just what we needed in the heat, and their menu was mostly Italian pasta dishes, deftly seasoned with a Malaysian flair, but remaining true to their Italian roots. As one might expect, their coffee was excellent, according to my local expert, Barb.
We got to know Yen and Hung better and invited them to

the boat for a drink. They took us out to their favourise Cantonese restaurant, in a back street that we would never have found ourselves, where we had a great meal and talked with them into the night.
