Before i post anything about EATING in Melaka, i would like to tell the world about the latest Event for Halloween. The Flyer says it all..
In Melaka, it was almost all about eating. My mouth did not rest for more than an hour munching stuff into my stomach
.:This is my favourite photo:.
.:The Standard Room in Hotel Melia Horizon Rm88 per nite:.
.:It's a basic room but no recommended for those that doesn't possesed transport. It's 5 min drives from the main town area:.
.:The Bathroom:.
.:My sis with a brochure looking for places to eat:.
.:And then she heard a man talking to her:.
.:He starts tellling us about places with cheap food and cheap spas:.
.:I think we know why he's talking craps:.
I was wearing an ApEk shirt that cost RM2.90 for the 1st day arriving in Melaka coz i think it's cool and cold too.. lolz. My dad was telling my sis i was wearing "Siaw Lang Sa" means T-Shirt for the insane. This lead to an act by my sis and the manager of the hotel. hahaha...
We went to A famosa the famous place which is printed as a historical place in my primary school text book. Ended up i found it so much smaller than it looks.

1st it was the famous overated chicken rice ball at Jonker Street. I rated it (3/5) the rice was below my expectation. Having chicken rice at Joys Corner behind Parkson is nicer than that. The chicken was very tender though and chillies was also below expectation. However, the purpose to go to Melaka was to eat their food. So we accomplished it. The restaurant was clean and had the old day's home alike atmospehere. reminded me of one of Jacky Chan's drunken master movie. The service was good too.
.:The chicken rice ball:.
.:Make yourselves at home:.
.:Just like in the movie during the old days:.
.:Not very expensive though for a famous place:.
2nd food i ate was Cendol Durian. To rate it (4/5) loved it so much, it's using the durian paste exactly like the dodol durian, mixed with Gula Melaka and the ingrediant were Cendol and the big sized red bean. I only heard about it when i was in the car with Elissa. she told me her friend reminded her to MUST TRY the Cendol Durian. We walked to shop no.88 same street but just few blocks away from the Famous Chicken Rice shop, we finally found the place. The cendol maker was the only MOST unfriendly person in Melaka. Treated us like cheap skate cendol customer just because my dad asked for an Ice Kacang Kosong and requested to have a little cherry colouring to make it look nicer... That's coz my dad is a diebetic and he controls his sugar level. muahaha
.:Lot 88:.
.:From across the road:.
.:My Cendol Durian Rm2.60:.
.:Mum's Cendol Manggo RM2.60:.
3rd food i ate was the Pineapple tart. To rate it (2/5), i think Kuching's May Flower's pineapple tart is much much better than the Nyonya Pineapple Tart. Kuching Roxx my sock.
.:It's everywhere:.
.:My favourite.. but it became not so favourite anymore:.
.:Nice to see but not to eat (to be precise, it's too dry and too hard for a (melt in your mouth) pineapple tart:.
4th food i ate was Burger King's fries. Elissa was mantraing about Burger King since the 1st day we were in Kuala Lumpur. Now that she got a chance to try it, she got angry coz my brother has been saying that she was troublesome.bla.bla.bla. burger king very expensive so on and so on...
.:The fries... i just love it:.
5th food anyway, was the famous satay celup. My dad wanted to eat something more chinese so my brother called his friend up and asked about famous food. So satay celup we went after the 4th time my brother went to the wrong turning... hehehe I rate it (3/5). Not that it's not nice but it's just not my type of food. Imagine withthe claim dipped in satay sauce to cook it.... err...
.:It's a quiet street but suddenly got a shop which we have to queue up to wait for available table:.
.:Camwhore while waiting *Look at Elissa's face after being angry at Burger King XD*:.
.:Choosing what to dip:.
.:Pork Ears:.
.:Tiger prawn:.
.:Claim:.
.:Kang kung:.
.:i know it looks uneatable.. we didn't take those red siew mai:.
.:Pork intestine:.
.:Cheap eh? but i think the item in plates are RM2.00 per plate (marketing strategy):.
.:They will pour in spices and stirr for you:.
.:Then you dip you satay stick in:.
.:Hungry after the queue:.
.:And then you start eating:.
The last thing i ate in Melaka was chee cheong fan and a cup of addictive Hainamese Coffee for breakfast in an unknown coffee shop. Love the coffee but not the food. I thought it's gna have prawn inside but found out they only sell 1 type. The KL style without any meat.
.:This chee chion fan is selling like hot cakes.. but i prefer to have the Hong Kong Chee Chiong Fan:.
Finally... i've finished blogging about my family trip!
