i never knew walking around a town from morning till night, making wrong turns on the way and taking long routes to reach somewhere when there's another short cut would be so addictive after doing it for 3 consecutive days.
from Clock Tower to the hotel, then to Dataran Pahlawan, next, to Jonker Street and then to Lorong Bukit China via the real long way just to eat the taste-below-average-satay celup, and then back to hotel, we travel it all via the most conventional way.... and that is....
by FOOT!
there's just too much to write about this trip, so decided to let the photos speak..
us after dropping luggage at the hotel room
Aldy Hotel
wf's not in the picture cause he says he wants to set bomb on tokyo.. HAHAAA!!
mind you ... never try the chicken rice ball though it was like a synonym to malacca delicacies *(because it was so "good")..and to everyone's disappointment... it was NOT! so not good that even any hawker style chicken rice stall in kl can beat it... maybe because we didn't try the most famous one, we went to this 古城鸡饭粒. my god~ really don't understand nowadays why these people can 敢敢 open business with food of no standard.
the most sour 酸菜 i've ever tasted. so sour that after the first bite you need 10 cups of honey to neutralise your toungue. wakaka!!
this is like the BEST chendol i've ever taste
so good it is that i've had to have it twice before going back to kl. the thick texture of gula melaka and the aroma of the santan blends so so so so so damn well. after a long walk under the hot sun, it's a blessing that you can sink your mouth into such wonderful desert. the atmosphere must be given compliments as well.
the typical Baba Nyonya setting itself already made their patrons craving to come back. located at Jonker Street, between shops selling local products, Jonker Desert is not very noticable by just a glance. so small the shop is but yet you can see people flocking into the shop just to get a taste of its popular Baba Chendol. from its appearance, you can never imangine that the shop stretches about 3 terrace houses long.
another delicacy that deserves compliment is the Chicken Curry Laksa also from Jonker Desert. so good! so good!
when the night comes, we decided to go down to the bistro to have a cup of drink. so everyone ended up drinking cocktails whereas me having mocha latte. ahhaa... aiyah... i don't like the alcohol taste mar...
Jiwi's Sex On The Beach
Zhi Wei's Daiquiri
Tze Yee's Magarita
the next night we went to this Capitol Satay Celup to grab a taste of another distinguished local delicacy which is the satay celup. from 10 meters away you can already see customers queing outside the shop, then immediately we though that this is a must try.
and yet, to our disappointment, it wasn't that good after all. really another-don't-understand-why such food also can be acclaimed for its goodness. haih... those really good food do not get such recognition, but these kind of me-also-can-make food were drained by hundreds of people everyday. does that mean that malaccans have real bad taste? or they never tasted what GOOOOOD food really is?
the main ingredients for satay celup.. so ordinary right? like other places don't have meat balls and fu chuk. and the satay sauce is a real let down.
by the way, we celebrated jervis' and wf's birthday on the second night. and it was also the night that i breakthrough my anti-alcohol princip and drank vodka. my my... it tasted quite good anyway. but i was not into beer. can never accept the taste of it. so tzeyee made a conclusion that i am born to have good life for i have 富贵舍. can only accept expensive alcohol beverages like vodka. HAHA!!! true true..
and so we bid farewell to malacca after the tantalizing 3 days food search. haha... and yes...1782539 thanks to Aunty Adree for the hospitality.
