Eat and Play with the Famous Chicken Rice Ball in Malacca, Malaysia

Monday, February 8th, 2010

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

Again!! this is Rice ball..not Fish ball. Can you imagine how soft is it?

Don’t miss out Baba Cendol at Jonker street and other great peranakan food in Malacca

Friday, February 5th, 2010

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

Must Eat in Malacca, Satay Steamboat – Ong Kim Wee Satay Celup

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

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 prefered satay celup restaurant in Malacca

Jonker walk is one of the popular tourist attraction in Malacca. It is located at Jalan hang Jebat, across the Sungai Melaka (Malacca River). It is a night market and similar to 茨场街(Jalan Petaling) at Kuala Lumpur but it only opens on every Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. During day time, it is a busy street full of cars.

Your choice of budget hotel in Malacca, Kuala Lumpur – Hallmark Hotel is one of ours

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

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
