Melaka Trip: The Food

Finally, a post about FOOD from Melaka =D Actually there are still some that are missed out because we were to busy eating I guess =P Anyway let's begin~

1. Mille Crepe @ Nadeje, Dataran Pahlawan Mall

Rachel recommended it, and actually I've heard bout this shop too so this was our 1st makan stop.

The elegant looking cafe

Tiramisu Mille Crepe

Strawberry Mille Crepe

They have a lot of varieties for their Mille Crepe, and we ordered 4 to share. We tried Tiramisu, Chocolate, Very Berry Strawberry and Original. Their mille crepe is not too bad, the crepes are thinner than the one from Humble Beginnings which means you can feel more layers. As for the filling, I think it's lighter than Humble Beginnings too =P

From the 4 we tried, my favourite was Tiramisu. Very Berry Strawberry is not really recommended as the berry jam layer on top was really sour and I think that it does not match the light fillings of the crepe. Original, well..it's original lol, and I think most of them didn't enjoy the chocolate 1 as well, they were complaining lack of chocolate taste.

2. Jonker 88 @ Jonker's Street

Spotted the shop opposite us =D

The Famous Cendol which is said to be must have

Nyonya Laksa from the same shop

First of all, I wanna say I'm freaking disappointed with the dessert, be it Cendol or ABC. I think it's a bit overrated, and there's always a queue at the stall. The first time I was there, I tried the Cendol and honestly I didn't quite enjoy it. So I thought I should try the ABC this time perhaps, but the ABC was worse than Cendol -_-"

The thick Gula Melaka was bitter instead of sweet for my ABC T_T And it doesn't match well with the ingredients of my ABC. I only managed to finish half, as I really can't tahan weird taste. I think the Laksa should be good since no one complained about it lol.

3. Satay Celup @ Ban Lee Siang

Restoran Ban Lee Siang, not as crowded as Capitol but definitely better =D

1st tray:fried wantan, vege, bean curd skin (fu pei) and you tiao

2nd tray: mushroom, fish cake and fish/sotong ball.

3rd tray: Seafood

The secret to good Satay Celup, good peanut sauce XD

You Tiao dipped in peanut sauce

I extremely love the you tiao dipped in peanut sauce haha. But must be careful not to dip to long or else it will be too soft. Actually I can't really compare Ban Lee Siang with Capitol as the first time I've ever tried Satay Celup was Ban Lee Siang.

But according to others, they said that this shop's peanut sauce taste better than Capitol, with more spices and stronger flavour. From what I found out, mostly tourists are the ones who will be going for Capitol, while locals will know Ban Lee Siang is better =P Besides that, Ban Lee Siang's Satay Celup is cheaper where it's only Rm0.50 per unmarked stick, and RM0.60 for those with red marks.

UPDATED:
Since there are a few people asking me where is Ban Lee Siang, I've decided to embed the map here so you all can locate it next time =)

3. Jonker's Street Night Market

Henry's Mango Milk Jelly

Grace ordered Vitagen Lemon Jelly, while I chose Lemon Jelly

Alvin's Vitagen with Red Jelly

Actually there's more stuff that we ate and bought, but after a whole day of walking, I guess everyone is tired and so less photos during the Jonker's Street session LoL =P Rachel bought some local delicacies back for her office's colleague. We had Fruit in Stick with Malt which tastes really good except that my strawberry is kinda sour.

4. Bak Kut Teh

Bak Kut Teh with Yam Rice

This place was recommended by Rachel, she said it's nice and she tried it during her last visit with her family. So we went and try as well. For me, I think the Bak Kut Teh is quite tasteless, it tasted like the herbal tea egg's herbal tea -_-"

Rachel also said that the meat is very smooth, and I thought smooth as in the meat itself is smooth, but who knows what she meant was the meat was coated with a layer of unknown substance (I guessed that the unknown substance could be egg white) so the outer layer of the meat became smooth. For me, I didn't really enjoy this Bak Kut Teh. Klang's Bak Kut Teh FTW =P

Hmm..so these are the trials and errors for this trip. Some of the food are "Naik Kereta" type but some of it is really good =D Do let me know if you agree to what I've wrote above =P

Melaka Trip: The Places

After we left our luggages at the apartment, the guys are hungry so we decided to get some food. Initially we wanted to go Jonker's street for lunch, but Rachel suggested that we go Pahlawan Mall for Mille Crepe 1st. So the we went over to Pahlawan Mall and had Mille Crepe which be will shown on next post =P

After our "light" lunch, we planned to go A Famosa first, and Jonker's Street next. For your info, we didn't drive, we just walked around the town actually =x

The famous A Famosa =D

The cannon's outside the fort

The Dutch's Graveyard

St Paul's Church

The heart and wings looks nice ^^

Another attraction of Melaka, trishaws =)

After we are done with photos and sightseeing, we were supposed to head to Jonker's Street but someone led us to the wrong road and we ended up back to Pahlawan Mall again -_-" It was 2pm, and Grace called us to confirm out meet up place. In the end we decided to meet up at Pahlawan Mall. Grace reached by 3pm, we met up and head off to Jonker's Street.

But too bad, on our way to Jonker's Street, we took some time for photographs again with the KTM train and the old plane LOL!

Photographer Alvin with model Grace =P

Grace and me in front of the Old KTM train =D

The 2 guys in their cat-tish pose XD

We delayed about another hour there and the guys were dead hungry when we finally reached Jonker's Street LoL. Called Algin and he met up with us there. Jonker's Street in the evening have a lot of stalls selling food, drinks and souvenirs. I love the food that are sold there =D

Evening view of Jonker's Street ^^

The next day, we passed by this giant war ship while on our way back from breakfast. Decided to snap some photos of it as it's really grand and nice~

The huge war ship and the tiny us LoL~

A nice shot of the ship

Wondering why did I mention about food so many times but not a single photo about it? That's because I'm keeping it for my last post on Melaka which will be all about food only XD Credits to Henry for most of the photos. Be prepared to drool at my next post *grins*

Melaka Trip: The Beginning

Went for a trip to Melaka last Saturday. There were 5 of us who went for the trip and they are...

Siew Ching aka Princess

Rachel aka the Blur one

Alvin aka EmoChipmunk

Henry aka Clevermunkey

Yours truly aka the kRaZy one =D

Jayleo was supposed to join us for the trip but in the end he decided that he do not want to go. We went there by bus as it is much cheaper than renting a car. From KL to Melaka is only RM12-13 per trip.

Anyway I was conned by a bus company called Jebat Express, they showed me nice bus photo, and it's RM13, but the next day when the bus arrived, it's in an OMG condition -_-" aircond leaking, bus with stupid smell and extremely rude mannered staffs zzz! Remember DO NOT EVER take Jebat Express if you are going to Melaka even if no bus!

The journey took 2 an a half hours because the stupid bus made a de tour to Alor Gajah and a few more places before reaching Melaka Sentral when they told me it would a direct trip -_-" All of us slept during the journey, too sleepy XD Took Town Bus #17 to get to Clock Tower where I will be meeting up with Mrs Ng the landlord of the place we will be staying.

The apartment we stayed

I found it from Google, and it's freaking cheap, only RM100/weekday or RM120/weekend. Besides that the apartment is in good condition with 2 rooms which can accomodate 3-4 persons in each room, basic cooking utensils, water heater and air conditioner available too.

They are not charging extra for extra mattress, so if you are really on a tight budget trip the house can sleep up to 10-12 person including living room lol. Definitely recommended, besides that the house owner Mr Joe and his wife Mrs Ng are very friendly and helpful people ^^ Click Here to find out more about the apartment =)

Anyway, that's all for now. Coming up next would be how the 5 of us conquered A Famosa so stay tune~ =D

Mist Club @ Bangsar

Went to Mist Club yesterday. Fredrick asked me to join him go and I haven't been to Mist Club before so I agreed. Every Friday is Lollipop @ Mist Club and tonight's theme is Phat & Furious where they have loads of awesome cars parked around the Club. Most of the cars I saw is Mazda Rx8, all with different themes and designs. It's really cool seeing so many nice cars there ^^

One of the car featured there, goes by the theme of Need For Speed.

Closer shot of the car

Awesome looking cars outside, wild party people inside =D

Dj doing their thing. One of them is the featured Dj Monkey

I met Adrian, and he brought me up to the VIP area to join some private party there =D Thanx a lot Adrian. You really saved my day night =P He introduced some of his friends to me as well. Besides that, I also saw some of my super-long-time-no-see friends XD

Adrian getting cranky and the blur me =x

Most unexpectedly,or should I say expected? *Unexpected is because I don't know he will be there, and expected is when I see Rx8 cars all over Mist Club* I met Wayne when I was going in the club. His car was one of those that were featured at the club. (The Need For Speed car is his =P) Since saw him, so I asked him to take a pic with me *grins*

Me and the GODmother XD

Got kinda tired after dancing for quite a while at the dance floor, so decided to take a seat and rest. While sitting there with nothing to do, I randomly snap some shots to be uploaded here haha. (Ya I already planned to blog about it the moment I'm there haha)

Love the light effects a lot ^^

Took this from the VIP area. Everyone is partying hard and having fun at the dance floor =)

The limited Lollipop tee for the 1st 50 ladies =D

Overall, I think Mist Club is not too bad, kinda happening. The crowd there is made up all races, and younger groups. Quite a lot of hot chicks XD Music wise, I still prefer Poppy =/ Anyway I would still say, it's worth checking out Mist Club ;)

Enigma

No no it's not the Enigma from DotA haha, it's the name of a former Lesbian bar which is located opposite the place I'm staying. It's been opened for about 2 years I think, and when it has just opened, I heard from my friend that it is a Lesbian bar whereby no guys are allowed unless you're a guest of the bar owner. I wow'ed at that time, and wonder how is it in a Lesbian bar as I've never been into one before. Told some of my friends about it and they are interested as well but none of us really plan it out. 2 years later, Lai Sin called me up suddenly and say, "Hey I'm going to Enigma, wanna join?" and I was like of course! Finally the chance is here haha..

Enigma~

They ordered 1 bucket of beer, each person a bottle =P

Koby, Cally and Lai Sin

There have pool table there but it's quite small space, hard to play..the bar table behind very kacau.

Besides that, there have Karaoke too where we can choose what songs we want and sing. I just found out that it is no longer a Lesbian bar =( but still there are a lot of lesbians patronizing this bar haha.

Funniest moment of the night would be:-

Lai Sin: Brb, I go toilet a while *walks off to toilet*

Cally's friend: What are you doing now?

Me: Just graduated, so currently not doing anything.

Cally's friend: Oic..hmm..is "she" your couple? (she meant Lai Sin)

Me: NO of course! -_-"

When Lai Sin came back from toilet, I drag her out to the balcony and tell her what happened haha. She gave quite a big reaction hahah! Keep asking why they say we are couple, and did we really act like we are a couple haha. I couldn't stop laughing with her LOL! After we calm ourselves down, we went back to our seats haha. Seriously I can't imagine that people will thought that I love gals haha! Aww man..what should I do? -_-" After that I go kacau Lai Sin by putting my hands on her shoulder and she freaked out hahaha! Damn funny la hahaha!

To tell the truth I was kind of disappointed because it is very different from what I've imagined~
and the bar is kind of small, not much people..but it's still nice getting to see Koby and Lai Sin who are my secondary schoolmates ^^
