Some people will mistaken it as a fish ball but in actual fact, that is a rice ball! The rice is prepared with chicken stock and their secret recipe. Top it up with chicken meat and vegetables makes this a hearty meal.
Normal price for one rice ball is RM0.20. If you happen to pay more than that, better ask if you are over charge due to inflation! For a girl’s appetite, 5-6 rice balls will be enough. For guy maybe up to 12 or even more!
Again!! this is Rice ball..not Fish ball. Can you imagine how soft is it?

Why they call it as BABA cendol and not the usual name cendol? Because it is made by BABA and NYONYA? I think so. hehe. And Baba cendol uses thick gooey palm sugar (Gula Melaka) and coconut milk!! Price to enjoy this dessert? Only costs RM1.70! Other then Baba cendol, you can also order durian cendol and mango cendol too.
For main course, you can order the Baba Nyonya Laksa and curry mee there. All are super yummy!! (Drooling) ^_^
My favourite Baba cendolsss

One of my favourite food since i was a kid!!
Can you imagine you are having steamboat with the satay sauce instead of soup?
There is no grill satay meat in this verison of Satay in Malacca. To eat, cook the food on the stick inside the satay sauce. Seafood, meat, vegetable, tofu, bean curb and more for you to cook. BanLeeSiang(万里香) at Ong Kim Wee street is said to be teh first restaurant to sell Satay Celup. Most of the local malaccan prefer to have satay celup there. The price range from 50-60cents per stick depending on which type of food you take.
Note: The sauce in the pot will not be change after the previous customer leaves. The shop workers will only refill the satay sauce for the next customer!
Ban Lee Siang is the most popular satay celup restaurant in Malacca

The story of a Chinese New Year Street Light up 2010. Went to Chinatown at about 7.30pm. The main road was close to allow the people to walk along the street to admire the bing bing lights in Chinatown. The place was super pack. Look at the photo. We can’t even go near to the stage!
Before lighting up

We stayed at Hallmark hotel! only RM100 per night for a double room. It is clean, safe and decent hotel for tourist! And the most important is its strategic location, at Jalan Kubu which is 5-10 mins walking distance to Jonker street. Wide space of car park are available there, so you do not worry about the parking problem!
The only weakness is the bad sound insulation. You might be able to hear some sounds..not made by the gh**t !! The noise comes from outside and you can easily hear your neighbor talking or maybe snoring. Another thing is the mini LCD TV, no remote control provided. You can only change the channel by pressing the button beside the TV!=p
Again, It is only RM100 per night, so do n0t expect too much! hehe..Here are pictures of Hallmark Hotel

Sungai Wang Plaza is one of my favourite shopping mall in Kuala Lumpur!! Never miss this place whenever i go to Kuala Lumpur!! This mall is the most popular shopping center among the locals, especially those youngsters and hip-hop ones. The nearest Monorail station is ‘Bukit Bintang’.
For this 1 day shopping trip, we did not spent time at Time Square and Lot 10 this time as we were too tired by the time we finished the last floor of Sungai Wang. We bought like $300 worth of cloths!
Here are some pictures of the place we took around Bukit Bintang.
