A day trip it is, purpose of this trip - No idea, just for the fun of it, mainly jalan-jalan & makan-makan around. Not too much of visiting, instead we ate quite a lot, after all our day trip cost us RM50 per person (note: Inclusive of petrol, toll and food!) Well people in Malacca might think that's pricey but for us-staying-in-kl for such a long period of time, RM50 - Woots!?

So sorry that I as a Malaysian not knowing his existence, but knowing only products he offered :x
 |
| Majlis Bandaraya Melaka |
A sign board provides information 'bout the history of Malacca, especially 'bout the Malacca tree.
 |
| Malacca Tree |
This should be 'the' tree that our dearest Parameswara lean on!
Or is it not? :x
 |
| Leng Lui Felen |
Oh our pretty and smart Sejarah Top scorer explaining the history of Malacca, mentioning Parameswara, Sang Kancil, and that she scored A for Sejarah and BM!
 |
| Christ Church Melaka |
Stay Hungry, Drool over yourself! It all starts from a street name Jonker Street!
 |
| 马六甲老街老店老故事 |
Malacca's Old Street, Old shops, Old stories
 |
| Sam Shu Gong |
Selling mostly desserts and drinks - Cendol, coffee etc
 |
| Oh, the Love Birds |
 |
| Not for sale I think... |
 |
| Nicely Decorated and Packed! |
 |
| Very Cozy. |
 |
| Durian Cendol ☆☆☆ |
Cendol, topped up with durian paste, with 'the' gula melaka, and coconut as well. A normal piece for me, durian taste is there, not too much of the cendol taste though.
 |
| Commercialized Menu |
 |
| Hoe Kee Chicken Rice |
Strongly recommended by AhXian our beloved Food Explorer!
 |
| Packed Lunch Time |
 |
| Hainanese Chicken ☆☆☆☆ |
Oh, the sweetness in the chicken meat, great soy sauce, smoothie smooth chicken sliced, nice!
 |
| Chicken Rice Ball ☆☆☆☆ |
As per Felen, they use the chicken essence to make this rice ball, and that aroma is simply undeniable!
 |
| Lotus Seed Soup ☆☆☆☆ |
Very gao in taste! Felen said it taste like mum's cooking... Till the very last drop!
 |
| Special Recipe ☆☆☆ |
Spicy and sour at the same time, who could ever resist such combination!?
Definitely going back for more!
Done for lunch, walking further down Jonker Street for more food hunting! Oh Malacca is freaking hot! Be sure your sunblock, hat or umbrella, and a bottle of water are with you!
 |
| Peach Egg Ice Cream ☆☆☆ |
Oh no no no, not ice cream made with egg but made in the shape of an egg. Cooling and icy, a bit of creamy too.
 |
| Red Plum + Peach |
Combine flavour as well, more varieties.
 |
| Apricot |
 |
| Almond... I think!? |
RM3.00 each, along Jonker street (corner shop) Pardon me for not noticing the shop's name ;(
 |
| Jonker88 |
Another group of visitors stop by as well to try, and we're not going be left out for this!
 |
| Ah Mah Fish Cake |
With a logo sticker from 'Ho Chak', broadcast on TV before, shouldn't be that bad, so stopped by and gave it a try!
 |
| Nyonya Laksa ☆☆☆☆ |
Diced tuna, tau-pok, boiled egg, onions and the very gao laksa soup. Sour and spicy, really an appetite starter! After the first sip, never stop till the end! Too bad I was packed with chicken rice balls!
 |
| Seafood Paitti? Patti? ☆☆☆ |
The crispy cup is nice, ingredients, not bad ;)
 |
| Baba Cendol ☆☆☆☆ |
Now this is what we call Cendol. Sidelines at the bottom topped up with mountain of ice, pouring of coconut and gula melaka on top... Tsk tsk tsk Best in town!
Continue our journey down the road and saw this Jonker Walk
Found one wallet on the bench and she used the bottle trying to check out the wallet... Waiting for almost 15 minutes and there comes the owner to claim it.
Funny enough at the end we were like "Eh, we didn't ask whether they're the owner or not lei?!"
I guess that's why we didn't strike toto till date :D
 |
| Pineapple Tarts |
With not-so-friendly aunty inside selling, refused to give us sample to try, busy packing for us as if we're buying, insisting us to take the bigger pack instead of the smaller one, and said "Very nice one we sell so many years already..." She should know better, you prolonged your sale with just-so-so pineapple tarts, that's all it's going to bring you to, others are selling on racks in Jusco and Cold Storage, ops!
Food and shopping are done in the hot and sunny afternoon, tired and drove off the street to Dataran Pahlawan for Nadeje's Pastry house!
 |
| Original Layer Cake ☆☆☆☆ |
Milky taste, the layers tell you their efforts. They overdid the layer slice a bit, has those 'burn' kind of smell, very nice!
 |
| Orange Chocolate Layer Cake ☆☆☆ |
They have the orange aroma in it, not that thick in taste, suitable for those who's looking for low fat or less sweet kinda dessert.
 |
| Tiramisu Layer Cake ☆☆☆ |
Taste more or less like the original slice, lack of the tiramisu taste in this slice. Slightly overrated though ;(
 |
| Sprite something something... ☆☆☆ |
Sparkling drink with syrup in it, too sweeeet!
 |
| Cool Down?! ☆☆ |
Oh this tastes just like cough syrup ;( And I choose not to remember its name!
 |
| Tropical Punch ☆☆☆ |
Now this is still okay, at least the name and taste correspond each other...
One hardworking afternoon to walk around Jonker Street, off to Dataran Pahlawan to meet up the Tan Twins, set ourselves down for high class high tea, and dragged ourselves down to Satay Celup.
Special thanks to the Twin Brothers that taught me how to go to one of the nice satay shop but SORRY! I don't have a brain that works very well to remember roads and ended up Mr.Ang spent time twisting and turning around till we see this......
 |
| 'The' Capitol Satay Celup |
Reached at around 5 minutes to 6, and the queue is already crazy looong... Worse part is, we have to queue by the road side while cars are driving recklessly regarding us pedestrians standing by the road side. I mean, honestly, you such a famous shop, can't you just arrange something for your customers?! Seriously?!
 |
| VARIETIES! |
Basically everything, you name it, they'll have it!
 |
| Kakak Mixing Sauces ☆☆☆☆ |
Basic satay sauce, add-in satay paste and peanuts altogether, very thick in texture and in taste, not bad overall.
 |
| Yao Cha Kuai Dipped with Satay Sauce ☆☆☆ |
Okay, this kinda steamboat, if you're a first timer, trying is no harm. But if you were to ask me to eat again, I think I'll skip it. Sauce is just too thick to go with. Yes, the aroma is there. Yes, the peanuts do taste nice. Yes, this idea is extraordinary. But I still prefer the general way of steamboat - with all due respects!
Okay, that's all for our Malacca trip. Not much of information we had, blindly walk and drive around town to check out stuff. Anyway I hope this post helps, 'cause I've been google-ing for stuff and none is helpful. Better get some local friends to bring you around to make your trip worthwhile!
Cheers!
