The most expensive lunch in Melaka and most likely in the world too!
The President of Malaysia Baba Nyonya Association, Dato Ronald Gan has successfully enlisted the support of his community to prepare A Grand Feast for Jade Emperor.
The dishes for the Jade Emperor, the Baba-Nyonya community called, 108 Laok for Wangkang 2020 fills up 3 pages of A4 size paper.
The dishes for Ho Hia Ti Prayer fills up 2 pages of A4 size paper.
The Number 1 expensive feast or dining in Melaka, Malaysia and probably the world most pricey dining, the Grand Feast would be recurring again in the next Wangkang Ceremony. But the problem is, no one knows when the next Wangkang will be!
Back on December 31st, 2017, Baba Dato Ronald Gan Yong Hoe is selected by the deity, Ong Yah to conduct the age-old sacred ceremony, The Wangkang Ceremony.
And the deity, Ong Yah specifically, conveyed his message in Chinese writing the typical word, Baba followed by Gan Yong Hoe through the sacred sedan chair.
The Wangkang Ceremony is said to be originated in Fujian, Xiamen, China and the Chinese who came to Melaka continued this intangible heritage up to this date.
Two days before the start of a week-long ceremony from Saturday 7 November 2020, the three of them held a forum this morning in Bica & Co, Rosa Hotel, Melaka.

Baba Dato Ronald Gan and Yew Chye
Venue: Bica & Co, Rosa Hotel
