april 8th '06, five of us (me, joanne, yvonne, william & steven) went to melaka for a two days one nite trip. at 7.30am, the guys start to pick up yvonne, me then joanne. and at 8.30am, we had "dim sum" breakfast at sri petaling...
about 10.30am, we arrived at the melaka town where we spent about an hour near the a' famosa historical place... i last visited melaka about 5 years ago & everything still looks the same to me... i mean, not much chages at this town actually....
before long at about 11.30am, all five of us were hungry. so, where else did we headed to if not the famous CHUNG WAH chicken rice ball(opposite the OCBC building).... averagely, we had 5 rice balls per person.. the meal cost about RM 25 for five person...
then we stroll along the JONKERS STREET and bought some souvenirs... at about 1.00pm, we were looking for food again! this time, we had "ais kacang" and tarts(portugese, durian cheese & mango cheese flavours)... the tarts are delicious especially the mango one....
after that, we checked in at Century Mahkota Hotel... our two bedrooms apartment are quite comfortable & spacious... we played rounds of cards till evening when our dear friend, Danette(who were back in Malacca for Qing Ming) joined us for dinner...
she brought us to one of the famous "satay celup" restaurants... forgot the name of the place liao... the place was crowded... luckily we were there early at about 6.30pm.... guess what?... all six of us ate a minimum of 20 sticks of satay celup... it was a satisfying meal....
after dinner, we went back to JONKERS WALK for the nite market... so many stalls there and not forgetting to mention the many many delicious food stalls there... sigh.. we were just too full... so, we only shared a plate of fried oysters... william & danette had "ais kacang" as well... me & jo tried the bubble pearl tea too... but it sucks!
we also bought some tarts & local delicacies from the stalls & shops there..... one of the shop, LW Nyonya Pineapple Tarts House was awarded malaysia book of records for baking the biggest pineapple tart in malaysia...
we ended the day afer we went for a drink at GreenWorld cafe... the place where yvonne's bf was working...
woke up at 8.00am the next day... we had buffet breakfast at the hotel.... then william drive us around malacca town before we checked out... but before that, we shopped at Tan Kim Hock to buy some "cencaluk", "dodol", sweets etc....
for lunch, we had nyonya food at the famous Ole' Sayang restaurant... we orders assam fish head, dry chicken curry, fried brinjal, ole's sayang tauhu and "otak-otak".... the food was superb...!
finally, about 1pm, we drove back to KL.... this trip is very memorable to me... coz it was the first time that i ate so much in one day! by the end of the day, i look like three months pregnant! hehehe.... looking forward to the next "eating" trip with them again...
we started the journey with food("dim sum")... we had food all along the way(chicken rice ball. "ais kacang", tarts, satay celup etc...)... and we ended the trip with food(nyonya food)!
