Uncle's Good Duck on CNY Day 10

Food... CNY is nothing more and nothing less but mostly FOOD and RED PACKET... Of course, with these comes along the many "hidden" entertainments one individual can find... =D Especially when visiting. Our entertainment... Of course, a group of people and see who's the luckiest! Aiming to win win win!... Example, playing "Big 2", "Poker", "Mahjong" and etc etc...

But I'm not covering any of those... (not just yet...) This is food found at Kota Damansara (new shop lots opposite Giant). Good deal, pricing similar to "Kim Gary" or "Wong Kok" so you get the picture. But the duck here is lovely! Let the pictures do the talking!

Really is Uncle's Good Duck... Crispy texture on the outside and moist and juicy on the inside... (the duck meat...DUH!)

This is Fresh Apple Juice! RM 4.90... (I still don't like the "sour plum" found inside!)

 

Chrysanthemum Tea (forgot how much...haha)
 

Latte (RM5...I think)...

 

So cuuuuutteee the design!!!!!! But I can't drink... (Allergic to the "Milk")

Hai Nan rice... ("Yau Fan" direct translate oily rice...lolx!) I think should be tasty! Because no leftovers haha... (RM2 rice only)

 

Dry Noodle (RM3.50) Normal "Wan Tan Mee" but actually, the noodle has smooth texture, almost like handmade... hmmm...

Yes... RM15.90 for 1/4 Quarter duck... YUMMY!

This is... also "Wan Tan Mee" but this is the soup type with Chicken "Char Siew" aka Chicken marinated meat (or something like that... hmmm)

Mmm... Food...

The best part! I love the "CHILLI" sauce!... Not too spicy, not too sweet, not too sour... Just nice... Got abit fragrance to it... And the lemon sauce next to it, to dip the duck meat to bring out another type of juicy flavor... Mmm...

This is another dish we ordered... By the way, this is "S" size... The waitress told us their "S" size is this size... VERY BIG!!! lolx... But not bad... Spicy and sour... Tasty! This is the "Assam Soup" (no idea how much though haha...)

Okay! Enough of food today... I'm going to go cook dinner... Got some request to fulfill... (evil smirks)  

See ya! (hehehe)

Day 4 : Malacca Trip with Sabrina

Day 4 : 19th December 2009

 We woke up today and packed our bags and tidy up the house before we head home to KL. Our first and last stop for food is at the road side. Below are the details. The food here are ~delicious~! The best Chicken Rice Ball I've eaten since I've arrived Melaka! A must-have!

Food Recommended : Hainanese Chicken Rice Ball

8TV Ho Chak
Place: Jalan Tun Sri Lanang Hainanese Chicken Rice Ball
Location : Melaka Town
Address : No.2, Jalan Tun Sri Lanang, Melaka
Phone : 016-626 0985
Business Hour : Lunch Time Onwards

Last Stop : Tan Kim Hock Product Centre
What do I say... We wanted to get packets of snack and tidbits to bring home for our friends and family. This is the "so-called" main centre for all the snacks offered in Melaka. I don't know how huge it is but I wouldn't bother after today. It's expensive! The snack is just so-so... Not too good and not too bad. We still bought goods from here though because it was raining heavily and we had not much choice and time left. So, lucky them for having us "kinda forced" to buy snacks from them.

The End : Look out for more coming to you soon from Ratianda.

Day 3 : Malacca Trip with Sabrina

Day 3 : 18th December 2009
Today we get to sleeep late! Yay! 10am MAX... This time my leg hurts sooooo bad... (Thanks to my laziness of "no exercise" effect) We went to Jalan Gajah Berang (nearby the Dim Sum place - same row - further down) for some 'aromatic' Beef Noodle.. ~Yummy~! Trust me, totally worth it! It's cheap and very tasty! Yes, yes, I know most of you might not like the "scent / aroma" but this one is really worth the try! You don't get those "beefy" strong aroma like most places (usually it's because the beef is not thoroughly cleaned properly). Some might feel that it's not enough "beef" in it but if you want to try, and hate the strong smell - this is the one for you! Here's some sneak preview!

Breakfast : Restaurant Hing Loong - Taiwan Mee

Rough Estimated Figures: STILL CHEAP!
Small RM3.80 / Big RM 4.50 / RM2.40 (Deep Fried Pork Ribs) / RM2.40 (Vinegar Pork Leg)

Btw, you can get to taste this "Beef Noodle" in PJ too... I haven't been there yet but would love to soon!

Here's the address :

Lunch : At Jalan Portugis - Kedai Satay Xiang Ji - Only Pork Satay, we local call it "Satay Babi" (sounds rude...lolx)
This shop is unique, I think it's only found in Melaka! Legally (in Malaysia)!! When you step in, that's tho only thing to eat, you just need to order your drinks, they'll bring the plates of "Rice Ketupat" (like rice paste) and plates of "Cucumbers" with their special "Peanut Dippings/Sauce". Then empty plates will be placed on your table as they refill it with "Pork Satay Sticks" each time they have them done. They count the number of sticks you eat~!

Btw, it's 55cents each.

Next Stop : Shopping along Stadhuy's Melaka stalls!
Bought a few things here, you can manage a good deal if you have the good charisma skills. Either that, or buy it at the price they offer you like everyone else. Lolx... The clock tower gives this place the authentic feel of historical events. It is a historical place afterall... But besides the shopping, we did went to see some "catapult cannons" very interesting...

Breaking News!! : It started raining!!!!!!!
Yes... Sad but true... It started raining so we had to leave... But we went around the corner to drop ourselves at the new Melaka Megamall... A very modernized building, nothing much historical only thing its more like a lower ground shopping with 2 floors but everything else you see from outside is new. I won't say much here, its your everyday shopping mall! Although, I paid RM6 for a 15min "Kaluoka' Hina" it's about the fishes in the reef and them trying to save their "coral reefs" aka home from "us" humans. And our toxic waste machine we dump into the bottom of the ocean. Good for kids............

Dinner Time : Rains too heavy to eat out...
We just went nearby some food stalls along the residential area and packed some regular "Wan Tan Mee" and "Kuey Teow Fish Ball Soup". Nothing special so no pictures..
.

The rest of the Evening :Small shopping

We "almost" spend our evenings indoors thanks to the moody rain. But, we managed to get out and head to Jonker's Street to buy some "accessories". Well, sort of like my sister was looking for some accessories for sewing and decorating clothes and stuffs. Here's caption of me and my sweet little niece which fell asleep after a long day of "pulling my hair and scratching my face" (it hurts)

Day 1 : Malacca Trip with Sabrina

Hey guys! It's me Sabrina, your blog editor for Ratianda Travels. I'll be bringing you through to experience a "free & easy"  holiday at Malacca with my family!

Day 1 : 16th December 2009

Left home at 10am. My bro-in-law drove us to Malacca  
(fyi, Malacca is his hometown)... 

Along the way when reaching Malacca, I spotted a few buildings and some exceptionally cool "sky / clouds "

(I love the sky / clouds)

Lunch : Ho G Food Trading (Restaurant)

We had lunch here and it was around 2pm at that time. No, we just arrived Melaka and looking for the first food on our menu! Chicken Rice Ball! Yummy~!  

 

(Sorry I'm not sure which location is this, too hungry to notice!)

After Lunch : Home Sweet Home

After filling up our tummy, we went to settle our bags in Melaka! Yay! Home sweet home~! Almost... We stayed at my bro-in-law's house (holidays and visiting only). We had to clean up around a lil' before we could actually settle in and then clean ourselves up... Because all the hotels were kinda fully booked and some are ridiculously overpriced. So why waste that kinda cash?! Luckily, we have my bro-in-law's own family home (hometown) to save the day! Thank You Raymond & family ^^ !
(Ps. I read Twilight -again!- the rest of the day before dinner)

Here's a sneak preview of ~home~...

Dinner Time : At Jalan Bunga Raya

We came here looking for fried "seafood" such as lala/balitong/oyster... We found out that the only seafood available here is "oyster"... Sad.... But we tried out the "Wan Tan Mee" next door while enjoying a packet of Fried Oyster... Y.U.M.M.Y!! I could hardly find "the" oyster but it definitely taste great! Even the Wan Tan Mee tastes great too! It's flavor is original and you don't taste much "Ajinomoto/Seasoning" like what we normally taste here and there in KL. To be honest, this "Wan Tan Mee" actually looks like the Sarawak Mee but it's not! Cool huh!

Night Time : Window Shopping along Jalan Bunga Raya
Yes, it is part of the plan, besides, there's like 3 or 4 shops around the corner that sells X'mas deco and it's very attracting and colorful! See for yourself!

The End of Day 1 - To be continued -
