Going to Malacca, the two things that cannot be missed are the chicken rice balls and the chendol. Missing those and it would be like not going to Malacca.
Jonker Street is one of those places where you would be able to find your way around to the shop even after almost 3 years of not going there and not get lost. Because the place doesn't really change, you can close your eyes and still walk there. Ohh wait, I take that back. You cannot walk with your eyes closed. Either you will fall into a drain or get honked by an oncoming car.
After 2hours of travelling, we reached Malacca feeling famished.
First stop was to eat the chicken rice balls.
If only the rice balls were warm. =l
We had a guided tour in this old conserved shophouse turned museum. There was a real well with water in it. Water said to be drinkable condition after some desalination. The tour was really informative.
Next up was CHENDOL! Whoo hoo!
Thirst quenching and not too sweet.
The whiff of mee rebus from that stall smelt really good. So we also order that to try.
Oh and the tauhu as well.
Its quite a lot for lunch. But hey, Malacca is all about the food. =P
Walking down the street, a common sight would be a sign "Name of person original homemade pineapple tarts". If all claim to be the original, how come after trying 2 stalls, they both taste so different? Anyway, I still prefer pineapple tarts made in Sg.
Shop shop shopping at the mall. It was shoe haven! There were more than 10 shoe shops there. But I didn't even buy a pair. =(
Bought some hair book, glitter thingy and black tops. Hahahaa...
Tea break at Secret Recipe. The cakes are so cheap. Who would have thought that combining apple crumble and cheese cake would be such a good match. Its like combining brownie and ice cream. Whoops.. No picture though.
Walked a long way to find this Peranakan restaurant which doesn't cater as much to the tourist crowd. So its more authentic and less commercialized.
The otak is very lemak.
Fish maw soup.
Haiz... No comments, too much green stuff floating on the top.
Kang kong with a lot of chilli.
Sambal fried fish. This one is hot!!!
Chicken Devil Curry. True to its name, the devil doesn't work immediately. It lurks in your mouth and the spiciness gradually builds up from there. Just wait 10-15 mintues. Then you get the full kick of spicy oomph.
It was another 2hr drive back. The roads were pitch dark. Its nice to admire the storm brewing many miles away. The lightning lighting up the dark sky.
After travelling at an average of 120km/h, suddenly feels so weird to be back in Sg and have to travel at 80km/h. Like so slow. Hahahaa...
