Malacca Trip, Day Two, Part Two

(This is the last part of my Malacca Trip)

After having breakfast at 88 The Museum Cafe, I walked around Jonker Street looking for nice local snacks. Then I found one: Gu Pong Enterprise.


The shop's signboard

The Pineapple Tarts tasted great. For RM13 a box containing two layers of Pineapple Tarts, it is ratherly reasonable and delicious.

The shop is located @ 136, Jalan Hang Jebat, 75000, Melaka.

These Pineapple Tarts are made using Butter, instead of the traditional Margarine. Butter makes it taste softer and more fragrance.

After buying the Pineapple Tarts, I continued walking around Jonker Street, and I walked pass these Association buildings.

This is the Teo Chew Association building.

Got some Gula Melaka.

After that, I went to Bukit Berendam for good Chicken Rice Balls @ Restoran Huang Chang Chicken Rice.

Hai Nan Chicken Rice Balls.

Their very own chilli. It tastes great!

1/2 of a Steamed Chicken. The meat is soft and tender. It goes well with the chilli.

The Chicken Rice Ball. It is sticky enough to stick as a ball and it wont break easily, very tasty.

Second plate of 1/2 of a Steamed Chicken.

This trip was more of a Eating Trip, so there was less visiting.

Malacca Trip, Day Two, Part One

Went for breakfast at 88 The Museum Cafe located @ Jonker Street.




Variety of noodles sold here.

Variety of Jonker Desserts sold here.

Workers preparing the Cendol.

A worker putting the last ingredient onto the Cendol - Gula Melaka.


Shop interior. This place sells all types of currency notes that was used during the Communist period.

Cendol. This is the thickest Gula Melaka I have ever had in my life, after the Gula Melaka is poured into your bowl of Cendol, it will freeze and become like malt, and it's only RM1.70 a bowl!
Fish Ball Noodles. Tastewise was okay, but the soup was abit diluted.

Dumpling Noodles. Tastewise was okay also, just that the soup was abit too diluted.

Nasi Lemak. Tasted more or less the same as others. But this shop uses the Baba Nyonya Curry, instead of Sambal/Rendang.

Fried Tofu. Tasted so-so only.

Iced Black Coffee. They used coffee bags instead of the coffee powder. So, no comment.

Second bowl of Cendol.
Stay Tune For Part Two!

Malacca Trip, Day One, Part One

Recently I had a getaway 2 day 1 night trip to Malacca, the city of history with no future. Arrived there in the evening, just in time for some dinner! Wanted to visit Capitol's Satay Celup, but gave up hope as I knew it would be jam packed.
So I headed to: Restoran Ban Lee Siang

Restoran Ban Lee Siang owns 2 shop lots side by side.

The raw ingredients.
Some bread & cucumbers to be dipped.
The peanut sauce dip. Some people say that they only change the dip once a year, that's why it's so nice.

While waiting for the food to cook in the peanut sauce dip.

A cold glass of herbal tea. Recomended to go along with the piping hot food.

Fish ball.

Bread, just one small dip will soak the bread with the sauce already.

Beancurd Stick (Fu-Chuk).

Squid.

Another version of fish ball star. Taste the same as fish ball.

Cocktail Sausage, Quail's Egg and the Fish Star.

Round 2.
Crabmeat.
45 sticks.

Total price: RM37.80
Good meal, worth the price, good food, 50 cents per stick. Recomended!
It's located on Jalan Ong Kim Wee, there's quite alot of parking spaces around that area so no worries for parking issues.
Stay tune for Part Two!
