Malacca, 24th Feb : Fooood

One of our friend (Rachel Lee) woke up LATE!!

We went in 2 cars and we were already on the way to Melaka... 

Our friend (Rachel Lee) who woke up LATE was in the Karen & bf car... And the plan was to start the journey to Melaka at 8.30am... The 3 of them ended up leaving at 9am to 10am... We arrived early around 11am, it's a Saturday and there's definitely traffic + we (me & bf) carpool-ed Jun & Chan before we journeyed on the Melaka.

My bf had to park his car infront of the Sunflower hotel shop then we switched over to Jun's bf car. Because he (Chen) is the tour guide hehehe... He stays in Melaka that's why.

Anyway back to the story, since we're early, Chen took us to Restaurant Yung Lai Siang it is an old coffee shop that is tucked in a quiet corner off Jalan Bunga Raya Pantai, where it meets Jalan Bendahara (near the river in the picture below) I love the curry laksa there, it's affordable and has a creamy taste to it's curry and it's aromatic too.

Then we wanted to head back to check-in but Rachel, Karen & her bf was stuck in a "Complete Standstill" traffic...... It turns out, the "Le Tour Langkawi" blocked off the highway entering Melaka... For almost an hour... So what did we do in the 1 hour in Melaka town? See next =>

Lunch time! Yes, immediatelly after breakfast (curry laksa)...
We had to queue for this, the all time one of the famous Chicken Rice Ball that was featured on TV.
we wanted to sit and order until the other group arrive but couldn't because of the road closure, we decided to "take-away"!

Pricing of the Chicken rice Ball @ Hoe Kee for your reference

Inside the outlet, very authentic interior designs 

While we're at it, Chan led us on to "take-away" some original cendols & durian cendols too! It's just further down from the Chicken rice shop @Jonker Street88

 

We even attempted to head over to Jalan Bunga Raya to "take-away" some 'fat' popiah but it was sold out, lucky I remembered that directly opposite Mimosa Hotel is an uncle selling Fish Ball Rojak! I like! So we "take-away" 3 packet ohohoho...

The queue at Chung Wah restaurant for their also famous Chicken Rice Ball

Laundry kiosk?!!?! This is cute! Even the drawing on the wall is awesome! Cute marketing haha! Very homemade...!

Got ppl queuing for the famous "Oh-Chien"... I covered this before in my previous post

 Finally, we went to another jalan nearby to drop off Chan & Wilson (my bf) to "take-away" some 'fat' popiah. It's the same type as Jalan Bunga Raya, just that it's his brother operating, atleast it's not sold out!

The always sold out + wait long long famous 'FAT' PoPiah!!

 Popiah unwrapped!

Fish Ball Rojak unwrapped!

Chicken Rice Balls unwrapped!

 We arrived back and the other group just checked in and was waiting for us at the house. The minute we arrive, we dump all our bags on the sofa and start preparing all the food we ordered. We were hungry little monsters!

Malacca, 24th Feb : Check-In

I'm back again for round 2 at Malacca!! Or aka Melaka (in Bahasa Melayu)

A trip for 8 pax where we had a local tour guide included too... 

Obviously that tour guide is our friend's bf hehehe... 

The whole trip was fun and funny, the combination of all of us is really interesting, haha!

Here's our itinerary list from our friend, she trying to feed pigs lolx *almost* every 30min is makan time ahahahah....

Lucky we manage to get a good offer online via Everyday.com.my on the following "Rent-A-House" stay

The offer is affordable!!! Here's the flyer at the lobby check-in for the price rates

Mind you, we stayed in the Double Storey House with 4 rooms + 4 detached baths for 8 pax...

This is actually a corner shop lot but this is the lobby to check in for Hotel or House the same.

Also another flyer from the lobby and some snapshots of their hotel room in the flyer. Looks decent and neat!

Watch the video for more visuals

The house is spacious, clean & new! There's a bathroom for every room, 3 rooms upstairs and 1 room downstairs. And all equally the same size, except for the master room which is equipped with a WALK-IN closet!!

Breakfast provided, we need to select either one (Nyonya Mee Siam, Nyonya Fried Rice, Sandwich Egg-Tuna-Chicken) we chose the sandwich because we had bigger plans to eat out "yum yum". The actually delivered the sandwiches in the morning on the dot! And it was still warm! Got Hash browns too hehe... The kitchen and utensils are all readily placed on the counter and even comes with a tray of biscuit + coffee + tea + sugar + milk for freeeeeee!! Water filter, flask & microwave also fully prepared already. Don't need to bring your own cups & spoons etc...

Hope the details above will help you in your journey to Melaka!

Malacca, 24th Feb : Fooood

Food for thought or tummy??

FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDD……

Who can say NO to food?!

The most amazing thing that was ever invented was FOOD!

I can only share food for 2 pax and possibly for families??… Because it’s obviously food I enjoy with my loved ones anywhere we go… “Anywhere” worth the mention that is

Bear with me for the next few minutes? hours? as I’ll be taking you through a series of images with locations and brief descriptions. Maybe some food tips & tricks if there are any I know of hehe…
Enjoy all da food related posts below!

Food Paradize

Food Paradize is simply a summed up recommended experience to go-to with your friends, family & loved ones but do note that all of the below is practically !!NON-HALAL!!
(the Yong Tau Foo section might be HALAL at some places......... Not sure 'bout that either...)

STEAMBOAT for Family, Friends & Lovers! Plus-One Shabu Shabu! I love this place… Their winter-melon with chestnut (i think) drink is just at its right sweetness and it costs (RM10) for a plastic jug (like in the picture above on the left)… I love their set lunch but the portion for the meat is cut in half!! So you can save money through their set or pay slightly more for more meat on your plate. Every steamboat set is made for individual though… You can even order 1 set and share! If you’re saving money and a small eater… I recommend the PORK SLICE SET (RM 20++) also I recommend the PORK RIB with CORN soup! Because if you let it cook for awhile, PORK RIB is practically the bones and boiling soup with it in it plus corn actually makes your soup sweeter in the must natural way possible!!

Ps. They even have a wiiidddeee variety of sauces to go for, TAKE IT!

Le Méridien, Kuala Lumpur

Yea, it’s near but it’s a 5-star hotel!!! Or 4-star?!?! Whatever, as long at it suits the occasion and the mood anything fits!
I booked this hotel through a certain website which I became a member of for free… Collection points for the selected hotels I manage to stay in and actually redeem them for free nights and etc… But I’m not there yet…

I actually booked this hotel through this website StarWood Hotels. I must say, it’s not bad really. Besides the free membership, amazing offers and awesome customized member card, I get great services for being their member too… All without a cost of penny… Amazing!

The Legend Water Chalet, Port Dickson

Formerly known as “The Legend Water Chalets" in Port Dickson, however, recently they’re known as “Lexis Port Dickson”.

Our Love Story

Trip to Zaanse Schans

Trip to Zaanse Schans

It is known that Zaanse Schans is the neighbourhood of Zaandam. It is near Zaandijk in the municipality of Zaanstad in the Netherlands of North Holland. Yes, I know... It's not a common name known to the world but NOW you know... It's one of the popular tourist attraction of the region to visit and experience an environment like never before. For those country lovers, this place has a collection of well-preserved historical windmills and not forgetting, houses. Zaanse Schans is also an Anchor Point of The European Route of Industrial Heritage aka "ERIH". How popular, you ask? Approx. 900k visitors every year!

The windmills were built since 1574 onwards. Of course, if you want to know more, please

This is a must see for foreigners. Here there are typical dutch houses in green & white with canals & windmills used for oil, mustard & wheat. The flowers are awesome and the street for shopping is breathtaking.


Shoes and wood carvings all hand crafted is amazingly astounding to just go window shopping through here! Would recommend this to those who love hand-crafted arts & craft!

Do drop by during the Spring or Summer season. It's best for viewing flowers and enjoy nature the real way!
