Melacca

I believe that, most of the Malaysians have been to Malacca before and know what is the specialties there too. Malacca is one of the most famous history attraction places of Malaysia. Jonker's Walk is a great place for tourists to shopping and photo-snapping because of it's a row of Straits Chinese (Peranakan) architecture. Besides, to those shopaholic-prices are reasonable at Jonker's street. =)

This Malacca trip was truly a spontaneous idea of my future sister-in-law. And I was just the follower, but deeply inside my heart, going to Malacca wasn't a bad idea at all, because I've been missing Chicken Rice Ball for quite a long time now.

It wasn't a long journey, from Kuala Lumpur to Malacca is 144 kilometers, which is approximately 1 3/4 hours. And sleeping make time goes faster... It's true.... I've had put on the huge shades and then SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!

Voila!!! Here we had arrived!! =)

Three famished people.... Headed to the famous chicken rice ball shop Hoe Kee, "HE JI" which located at Jonker's Street. Right beside "SAN SHU KONG" store. There is other famous Chicken Rice Balls shop else, of course, but my brother loves this one, and we were too famished to find car park and walk a long way to other ones...The Hoe Kee Chicken Rice balls are... Well, I couldn't really compare it though, because of this is considered the first one since I've last ate the chicken rice ball in Malacca. It's not bad... It tasted really good and the chicken was nice, not too sour and the textures were soft and nice! Unfortunately, it was quite OILY! The price... Wasn't expensive... So people... Go and enjoy! Bon Apetit! =)Best reminder, if you really want to eat the chicken rice balls in Malacca, go there EARLY, like between 9am and 10am. After that, you'll see long queue outside EACH of the chicken rice ball shops! And this is like... Insane.. No matter how hot was that day, everyone seemed like doesn't-matter-ly to queue... Block the street like no-one-business....

As I've mentioned above, Jonker's Street is a row of Peranakan Architecture, but now, people have made them into business centre, a row of shopping district. Mostly clothing, some are bistro bars, some are selling antique stuff, some are selling nyonya cakes like pineapple tart, egg york lotus cakes, etc.... Well, once you walk down the street, you can experience it yourself... And I really hope that you can actually have a NICE day!

Besides chicken rice balls are famous on Jonker's Street, there's Cendol too! Cendol is a traditional dessert which is originated from Japan. But now, how Malaysian made it was basically just consisting coconut milk, loads of shaved ice, and then some jelly, red bean, and some colouring flavoured liquid sugar. LOTS OF THEM! And eventually, the Cendol has had evolved from basic to extreme-It has fruits as topping now! Your choice, traditional one or fruits one. =) We all love it because of it is cold, sweet, and awfully nice! Perhaps? Sadly, I'm not really a big fan of it! Did I mentioned that, I eat M&M's only choosing the browns? That's the point of why I'm not a huge fan of Cendol, because of it has contained too many COLOURING stuff! ><>

look at the colour... =S

Actually, I love the way how they renovated the Peranakan architecture into new look! They didn't really change all the look of it, but they made it looks REALLY back-in-those-days look! They have loads of antique stuff.... Even money! And then they put some old fans, type machine, shoes, etc... While you eat Cendol, you can imagine yourself back in those days!

Anyway, the only thing that I haven't try out was the SATAY CELUP. Which I believe, I will soon, again, visit Malacca for Satay Celup!!!! =)

Until then.

PS: "San Shu Gong" store has really good Salted Egg York Biscuits and White Coffee (which you can drink with cold or hot). You should get it once you visit Malacca! =)
