melaka 2009

the road trip to melaka was a good break from the hustle and bustle of the city life in sgp. the group of four (zh & yp, the bf and i) drove my mum's lancer 200km north to melaka!

i quite like melaka, it feels like sgp back in the 70s with all the shophouses, trishaws, pasar malam style street stalls... the people there are also very nice & polite! (as least the drivers give way to you when you signal!)

the highlight of the trip was jonker street...we walked up and down the street like 4 times! (up and down once in the day and another time at night) oh fyi, street peddlers line the street at night (like pasar malam) only on fridays and saturdays... its like a gigantic pasar malam... worth going :)

and of cos, the trip was EAT-WALK-EAT-WALK... we ate so much that we were constantly feeling full... i wonder how do the food hosts tahan when they introduce multiple stores/restaurants in a single day?!

anyway... let the pics do the talking :)

first stop: chicken rice balls!! (someone said, eh? how come got fishballs?) the balls weren't too impressive... all of us preferred the normal rice to the balls...

the chicken tasted yummier than the balls...

heh... the funny things we see along jonker walk...

spade shaped jew her!

2nd stop: melaka chendol! this shop sells different variants of the traditional chendol... beware.. not all modern flavours are pleasant to the palate! the bf bought one with pineapples... he hated it!

he bought the traditional one for me... yums!

clogs are a hit in melaka... but not quite with me!

the bf says this is the cleanest place in melaka... because its constantly being washed!

dinner is satay celup... basically like our steamboat, except all your food is in skewers and your soup base is a thinner version of the satay sauce... spicy!

the group! (enjoying our food, while sweating)

A&W!!! the last time i ate this was when i was... 12? i still remember hanging out with ah hu, eunice and yiting... omg! its more than 12 years ago alr!!

i miss the root beer floats...

the full set... curly fries, connie dog and root beer!

my fav waffles of ALL time... i swear...

us!

hilarious!
