Makan


In the morning before heading off to Melaka we had breakfast at Sun Yit Loong which serves really good white coffee.

The bah chang is very good, served with sugar


Curry mee served with roast pork


When we reached Melaka, you must have the chicken rice ball

Chicken rice with gizzard and rice ball

Famous satay


This guy has been serving chinese satay which has pork, intestines etc for 30 years



The gravy is somewhat different from the Malay satay sauce. The Malay sauce has lots of peanuts and no pineapple. The chinese instead has pineapple and no peanuts in it.



We then headed off for some durian cendol, which is made out of coconut m ilk, jelly and durian.


Then the famous popiah located at Jonker's street


Ingrediets - fried onions, eggs, lettuce, steamed white cabbage


You can either have fried popiah or the non fried one.

we went for the non fried one. The popiah skin was really thin and nice.


Then is dim sum time, the dim sum are all miniature size.


Fried jack fruit and yam at Jonker's street

Ya Cha Kuai - made out of fried dough


Asam Laksa - nyonya style which is a little more sour compared to Penang Laksa at 88 Jonker's Street.

Self service is required at this restaurant.



We were so full after the whole day of being a glutton that we had to skip satay celup which is lok lok but dipped and cooked in a special satay sauce. Anyway look at the waiting line.



The drive was an hour and a half back to KL so by the time we got back we were abit hungry so we went straight for mamak nasi lemak. Rice, egg, ikan bilis and sambal.

Ended the night with durian.
