Melaka Sentral
Famosa Chicken Rice Ball at Melaka Sentral is an outlet of the well-known Melaka chicken rice ball restaurant chain, located within the Plaza Melaka Sentral transport terminal along Jalan Tun Razak. The chain, whose Chinese name is Gu Cheng Ji Fan Li (古城雞飯粒), is one of Melaka's most recognised food brands, specialising in the city's signature dish of Hainanese chicken served with rice shaped into bite-sized balls.
The menu features poached kampung (free-range) chicken, steamed chicken, and roasted chicken, accompanied by the characteristic rice balls flavoured with chicken broth and ginger. Side dishes include BBQ pork, roasted pork, asam fish, otak-otak (steamed fish cake), braised egg, bean sprouts, and fishball or porkball soup. The chain's original Jonker Street restaurants (at 21 Jalan Hang Jebat and 28-30 Jalan Hang Kasturi, telephone 06-286 0121) have served both tourists and locals since the dish became a Melaka culinary icon.
The Sentral outlet operates from 10 am to 8 pm daily, with shorter hours than the Jonker Street branches. A plate of chicken rice balls typically costs between RM8 and RM15. The Sentral location provides convenient access for travellers arriving at or departing from the bus terminal.

A staff member in orange shirt stands beside a red food cart. Red lanterns hang from the ceiling. A queue sign reads 'PLEASE QUEUE UP' and '請排隊'.

Three white rice balls on a white plate with chopsticks resting on the edge.
Food and Beverage on Table
A top-down view of a meal consisting of a plate with rice balls arranged in a circle, a dish of sliced roasted chicken with sauce and garnish, and an iced beverage in a plastic cup with a straw. The items are placed on a light-colored table surface.
Interior wall display with photos and signage
Red-walled interior featuring framed photographs of groups of people, some holding banners or posing in front of a restaurant entrance. A vertical red banner with Chinese characters is mounted on the right side. Fluorescent lighting fixtures are installed overhead. A yellow menu board is partially visible on the left.
Iced beverage in plastic cup with straw
A close-up shot of an iced drink in a clear plastic cup with a black straw. The drink has a creamy beige color with ice cubes and dark specks floating on top. A red label is partially visible at the bottom of the cup, but no readable text or logo is discernible. The cup sits on a light-colored, textured surface, likely a table or counter.

The interior features red walls with a large black-and-white mural depicting historical scenes of Melaka. Tables and chairs are arranged below the mural. A Malaysian flag hangs near an open doorway on the left. Fluorescent lights illuminate the ceiling, and fans are mounted overhead. A small display cabinet and a blue cooler are visible on the left side.
