See this green puff?
It's a baby rambutan!
I bet most of you know that already but... I don't O.O
They remind me of my dear baby hamsters (6 of 'em puff balls) before the EVIL NEIGHBOURHOOD CAT pushed down the hamster cage and annihilated all my living puff balls/hamsters.
Anyway, the point of this post is...
I went to Melaka (Malacca) the last weekend with my family.
And ate non stop.
Nasi Lemak served with Kangkung. My dad says it's a Hokkien thing... Serving Nasi Lemak with plain kangkung. True?
Nyonya Laksa! From Bess Kopitiam, as recommended by my friend. Nyonya laksa is always awesome. But it isn't sour enough for our liking =S So, so far the best nyonya laksa I've tasted is at Jonker88 (Sure there are more awesome laksa elsewhere but a 2 day tour at Melaka just isn't enough to savour them >.<)
Finally made our way to the hotel =)
I'm not one who can describe hotel rooms properly. So I'll let the pictures do the talking.
I love hotels =3
Orangutan House! There was a Baboon House nearby... Maybe they are sister... houses o.O
LOVE this building very much because of it's bright colours =)
During the trip we passed by A' Famosa and I told my story about the Portuguese and Dutch colonisation of Melaka and the fighting over this place. And he asked me, 'why do they hate each other so much?'
I suspect he's thinking of something more related to football than the spice route.
Queuing to eat satay celup.
My mom said, 'Since we come all the way here d, if we wanna eat, eat the best la.'
But she took back her words once she saw the queue at Capitol Satay.
We unanimously agreed that nothing is worth that HORRENDOUSLY long queue and proceeded to eat at at any adjacent shop that was available.
As a non local, I would gladly say that Lok lok is my preferred 'Asian Fondue'.
Chicken Rice Ball at Chung Hua on Jonker Street.
Another long queue to makan here T.T So we took turns queuing up while the rest went to the San Su Gong and tried their cold drinks muahaha.
Mummy looking hungrily at the empty plate. Aww...
People selling antiques beside Jonker street on a Sunday morning. Had fun looking at old notes and coins =)
Oops. Sorry for the butt snapshot but I like the antiques and this is the only photo I have of them... XD
After all the makan near the city centre (some which I didn't take any photos of because I'm too busy eating), we went to Klebang to try out their famous 'Coconut Milkshake'. Didn't like it very much... The flavour is covered by the huge dollop of ice cream they put in >.<
And finally after 2 days we escaped Melaka! Haha actually I really love Melaka, a place with culture and history... But since we went there on a public holiday weekend, the crowd is huge and eating and visiting involves queuing up which tests everybody's patience >.<
On the way back home we decided to stop by Dengkil for Chilli Fish at Sinki Restaurant.
Our GPS was creepy though... We were following her instruction and at a junction, we saw a signboard that says turn left to Dengkil but the GPS insists we turn right. We turned left, against the GPS's instructions and throughout the 10km drive to Dengkil, the GPS keep instructing us to U turn.
Even after we reached Dengkil and parked the car, the GPS kept on insisting we MUST U-turn. Creepy... Luckily we didn't follow her instructions >=O
Anyway, more good food and this time, 'finally food without a long queue' (quotes dad)
Fish ball and silky smooth tofu.
Chilli Fish, their signature fish! It's DAMN awesome. Super awesome. Salivating just thinking about this. And all their other food is yummy too, and not too expensive. Oh the pic is blur because... I was too much in a hurry to eat again.
We also ordered Paku choi cooked with Belacan. Second best dish after the fish =)
OK a random picture to end this post:
Poached egg! Finally tasted it and see it with my own eyes!
