We were planning for a family trip, Redang island come first but sister been there for few times and it is not a good place for family trip. I really wish to visit that island, next year I must go, I am very serious. Please tell me you are interested in joining me. so after all, we have decided to go Melacca, the most convenient one. Honestly, the last time i went to Melacca was 15 years ago, I don't have any memory of it. so we book the hotel and my sister drive us there. thanks god we have google map!
so fisrt thing to do, check in to the hotel!
view from the Hotel, hello, Melacca.
the weather in Melacca is so hot! the sun will burn your skin. I wish to stay in this air-cond room
the first destination: Jonker Walk. it is the most famous street, it has shop houses along the street, selling souvenirs, local foods, clothes, antique during daytime. At night, it turns to a night market but only weekend.
we came this place to have our lunch. it is so famous and luckily we went there on friday because you got to queue on Saturday and Sunday.
Wondering what are they selling? Make sure you are completely full to continue reading this post
arrrrggghhhh, my stomach is making noise now.
anyway, this is the chicken rice ball. heard this thing years ago but never get to try and finally the day came. basically, it is just rice shape into ball. the rice is stick together like glutinous rice. the chicken taste good too.
Do I look tall? I feel like I am growing taller recently, not so sure too. I am 21 soon, not suppose to grow anymore, i dont want to become a giant.
Careful, Piggie! Angry bird is here!! you get me?
Do you know what are needed after meal?
Yes!! Dessert. I am a big fans of cendol, how can I miss out in Melacca. Taiping Cendol is one of the best, but Melacca one is best of the best. they use melacca sugar aka coconut sugar and mix with fresh coconut milk. it is the taste of heaven. the taste of the coconut sugar is so heavy, you must try if you ever visit there. one thing i realise, they try to have durian flavored for everything. so i try durian cendoll too and i like it. surprisingly, the durian smell is match with coconut sugar. it makes the taste stronger, must be loved by durian fans. i even try durian pancake, durian puff, durian roll but they are not really worth to mention here.
my mummy is cute!
satay celup is one of their specialty too. i never know this thing until my sister ask me to search from the internet. so we went to the most famous one and we queue for almost an hour. they only have 10 tables there, we are not allowed to sit with other people and it is something similar to steamboat. it takes time for people to cook and eat. thats why we waited for so long. the shop has a few notices hanging there explain that they ask for quality but not quantity so they do not want to expand their business.
we got a table, then we have to choose what we want. it is the same price for every stick which is 90 cents. so 2 fishballs in a stick and one prawn in a stick are the same price, of course everyone take many prawns. okay, now come with the special part in the picture below
it is cook with the sauce they prepared, it is like satay sause. they will add the sauce for you once it evaporate a little bit, quite good service. we dont really like this because the whole thing dip into the sauce doesn't taste good. it is too much of sauce and make you don't feel like eating it anymore after a few stick.
but still encourage people to give it a try
come to lunch on the next day. we went to a nyonya restaurant
everything taste nice especially the soup!
spot the red box? after reading this post, i google it and will try on it.
thank you piggie for telling me this. they are so tempting! I really wish to try every flavour. this is thousand layer cakes aka nadeje crepe cake.
we bought berries and original. original taste better. delicious foods are always unhealthy or fattening. this cake is the latter. can you see it is one layer of cake follow up with another layer of cream? so FAT! luckily i am not living in melacca.
this poor little pony, has been tie up and played by the public for the whole day.
we reached A famosa but it is a rainy day. not a bad thing because we don't feel like enter any of the park. this place look so old, dull and lousy. the cowboy town is so far away from the water park and zoo, weird concept. so we went back to the town again.
we took river cruise and saw they have a great cafe beside the river. so we try to find the cafe after that. they hired artiest to paint on the wall, those artists are really amazing!
Riverbank. we actually sat behind the shop.
the river is right behind the cafe.
beer, river, cruise, music and the one we love. PERFECT!
we spend our last night there
Leave the town on the next day.
a wonderful trip <3 <3
