Malacca Again!

So, I persuaded my dad to go to Malacca a lot of times already but he was busy on most of the weekends nowadays. Well, since 27th of August is a holiday for my dad, I asked him to take a drive down to Malacca for me to get a taste of the food there for the last time till July 2011. I’ll definitely go back there right away when I’m back here in Malaysia.

We went for lunch at a street located right behind Jonker Street. We had Wan Tan Mee and Prawn Noodles. It was tasty! I like it! *laugh*

This was the first time my baby was driven in Malacca. Will miss you a lot soon!

My first cendol in Malacca. Tasty!

The Wan Tan Mee we had was a little bit unique where it’s spicy and there are not black soy sauce. Tasty too!

A supposed to be Prawn Noodles but it ended up to be something else which I didn’t really enjoyed it. RM 3 each for the meal and RM2.50 for the cendol. After that, I asked my dad to bring me to Seafarer Restaurant Malacca as I could go down to the beach there. It’s called Pantai Klebang. Dishearteningly, a part of the beach, reclamation land is happening widely but luckily, it didn’t block anything at the Seafarer Restaurant. Here are some pictures taken there.

After that, we headed back to the Holiday Inn Hotel area.

This project is a failure. It has also made Holiday Inn’s view bad!

Mahkota Hotel. Stayed there when I first went to Malacca. BAD experience there!

You got to take a buggy to get to the end of the Karaoke area. It’s freaking far!

Was supposed to put a night here but I told my dad that Malacca is very near to our place. So, saved the cash for hotel and spent them on food!

Eyes on Malaysia!

I get to remember what happened here at the McD. When Samuel, Aron and I was super thirsty when we were in Malacca, we shared a cup of soft drink here! I really missed those moments! I did went back to the hostel that we stayed in for 3 days 2 nights! After that, we drove over to Pulau Melaka and it was another failure project. The whole island was deserted. Have a look.

This was the only thing that we can see people going for at Pulau Melaka.

This would be our normal area to park our car and then we walk around Malacca town!

Then, we headed for some food!

This is a must to go when you are in Malacca! Try everything there! Everything is tasty there. Location? Jonker Street!

This would be the interior of the shop.

My durian cendol! A must to have when I’m here in Malacca.

Baba Nyonya laksa! Mouth watering! OMG….Gonna miss this so much!

As I was walking to the fried oyster stall, I saw this place where Samuel, Aron and I had Malacca Bak Kut Teh here when it was raining heavily! That was the most memorable trip to Malacca ever!

Fried oyster which cost RM 6.

I did found out something new at Jonker Street which is this Tornado Potato! Never give it a try because I was super full at that moment. Gained 2kg after this trip. Sad.

Dad bought some Nyonya kuih for me. After that I drove them back home. Love Malaysia’s food always! Will try to come back every year for the next 6 years!

Till then!

Durian Buffet, SS2!

Well, I went to Old Klang Road to pass my highest certificate to my consultant yesterday in the afternoon and THANKS to Yvonne who showed me a super short way to get there. I saved a lot of fuel for the last 2 weeks of the language class. Owe her one meal. Wait, one meal isn’t enough for her I guess since I see her standing by the foods during our pre-departure briefing on Sunday. SCARY is the word. ^^

I will blog about the pre-departure briefing soon but let’s don’t talk about the word DEPARTURE yet. FOOD is a must to talk about right now. I will cross SS2 every single day on the way to class and back from my class. Temptations of having Durians will be there ever single time I cross that place. YESTERDAY, I went there with my mum to have DURIAN BUFFET. Yes, Durian Buffet. This is my first time having Durian Buffet and I do think that it’s a little crazy to have durians in such a huge amount. Want to have a look at the stall? Here it is.

Durians? Nice? Yeah, it’s nice. The provide you only Kampung Durians for the buffet session and FYI buffets are only for from Mondays to Fridays. Yummy is the word to describe this Durian Buffet.

I will not be able to get this after September till I’m back on July 2011. So going to miss Malaysia a lot! The word a lot here I do mean it like x100000000…. times of a lot!

While enjoying my Durians. My mum and I had 4 of it and we can’t take it anymore. Now, it’s the time to drink more water so that I could have all the Penang food soon. Going there by early of September and going to Malacca this week. My aim is to have a good taste of all the foods there before leaving my foot off Malaysia’s soil.

For some of you out there, you would say….cheh, so little. Some of you will be like, OMG! xD

After that, we went to 1 Utama to hunt for some of my necessities. I’m like 70% done packing right now. There is this happy feeling and sad feeling too. Sigh.

What we had in 1 Utama? Here it is.

Takoyaki! Yummy!

Had this at Shilin. Ordered the set which came with the fish.

Shilin! Yum yum! Fried sweet potato! So that is what we had for dinner.

Till then!

Fasting Month!

First of all, I would love to take this opportunity to wish all my Muslim friends out there, Selamat Berpuasa. Let’s continue right now. Every single year, when it comes to the fasting month, the only thing that I could think of is the food. Wait! Don’t think something ridiculous that fast, okay? I do love the Malay culture back in Malaysia also. I will always attend at least one Raya Open House every year because I love going there to have a look at the Malay culture face-to-face. By looking at the Malay families wearing their Baju Melayu and Baju Kurung is just so lovely. Not forgetting, most of the families has a common colour of attire to wear during Raya. Isn’t that unique to you guys? It is for me and YES it does happen for Chinese and Indians too. You can hardly see this scenario when you’re out from Malaysia especially at the European country. I will be going to miss my country soil right after Raya because I’m flying to somewhere that I should be at to further my studies.

Now, as I do love food a lot, it’s time to blog about some of the foods that I love to grab during the fasting month. What do you think about Malay cuisine? Ratings from 0-10. For me, all races food in Malaysia, I would rate them 10 upon 10. So, one question might come across your mind right now which is, ‘What cuisine you will not rate them 10 upon 10?’. There is some cuisine which I never rate them 10 upon 10. One of is it the Korean cuisine. OMG. I can’t believe I spit this out. Sze Yin will definitely kill me right after she read about this. I shall be prepared for it now. Don’t blame me as every each humankind in this lovely, wonderful and delightful world has their own likes and dislikes. So, this would be one of the thing I dislike. Today! What’s for dinner? Bought lots of food from the bazaar near my house and FYI, whenever I go there, it would be best if I could buy all the foods sold there. Dishearteningly, I couldn’t put much input to myself nowadays.

Just ignore the guy there. Look at all the stalls there! Look at the people! Just so lively!

Being at the bazaar makes me so happy and cheerful all the time. To get some attention from the customers, the stall keepers will just shout on the foods they are selling here and there and this just make the surroundings so different. This is Malaysia! Besides, by going to the bazaar you can also actually see many Chinese and Indians there too! This is One Malaysia! No more words to comment about this as I’m just too happy and delightful to be a Malaysian.

Back to the foods! Argh! I just can’t wait for this moment. Prepare some stuff to munch right in front of you right now before looking at all the pictures.
