Long absence from my blogosphere.. well since this blog is more of travel & food entries, have to try to insert some travel stories.
Fat bf has been "pestering" me to go Malacca for the longest time as its near to SG & good for a short weekend getaway. Well, since we have not been going for our twosome trip, so start with a short trip =P
Initially, we wanted to go a Self-Drive to Malacca but car is not in an optimal condition hence a weekend prior the trip, we headed to Boon Lay Shopping center ( the very old branch) to get our coach tickets.
So, we booked with Grassland which costs $60/pax for a Super VIP coach that seats around 20+ people which is awesome as we can adjust the seats to a low inclination for rest without annoying the passengers behind us=P
 |
| Waiting at the Coach Pick Up point=P |
 |
| Coach tic-Taken while the coach is on the move. hence a bit blur. |
 |
| Inside Hatten Hotel- Nice Coach |
 |
| The Refreshment area |
 |
| Really love the Clean Toilet |
 |
| Hatten Hotel- Highly Recommended! Well connected to 3 malls- Best to go back hotel on and off while we felt tired. Best to offload shopping bags too=P |
 |
| Too Hungry hence went Mahkota to have a quick Lunch |
 |
| My fried seafood udon - Salty & small serving |
 |
| Fat bf's cold soba.. serving size pathetically small. Fat bf did not eat to his fill, haa |
 |
| Mackerel.. I dun feel it nice at all The one that serves at West Coast Fish Mart is very good =D |
 |
| After the quick lunch, we headed to Jonker street. Its like forever hot and scorchy hence we bought a "egg looking " popsicle (RM$3). Sour plum flavour is nice Anyway, we saw alot of people holding to this "egg" popsicle |
Chendol.. yah.. another hot favourite food item in Malacca,
Fat bf has been harping on his Chendol as its up to individual to top up the Gula Melaka (Sweet Palm Sugar)
After adding the liquefied palm sugar, I feel the whole chendol has more "burnt" taste though it smells very nice.
Anyway, we ate this at Bibik House which Fat bf went before.
 |
| Adding more liquidfied Gula Melaka into Chendol |
Jonker Street is too hot, after a quick exploration
Too hot to drag myself to lug food stuff from San Shu Gong for the local Snack Delicacy.. hence only got the cold drinks and left for the shopping malls
I must pay great credit to Hatten hotel for its marvellous Strategic location as moving from any one the 3 malls, we were able to navigate ourselves very easily back to our room for a good rest =P
 |
| Fat bf feels high!! Taken on the way from Jonker to Shopping mall After a good rest back at our room , we headed out around 7pm for dinner. Walked around Mahkota just because of Nadeje's Mille Crepe cakes=P Hence, dropped by Nano's Chicken for our dinner =P |
 |
| Soup with garlic bread=> Nice |
 |
| Half Chicken for myself |
 |
| Fat bf's order=> Can rem -> some chicken top up with Spicy rice & Coleslaw Never like the spicy rice as the spice taste is too strong, killing the expected "fragrance" that we should be having |
 |
| Over-eat for Dinner and hence can only take away The highly Raved Crepe cake |
 |
| Bought Strawberry Crepe cake @ RM$6.90 - it tastes marvellous. If not for the full stomach, I will like to have a few slices there =P Anyway, love their kind gesture to include a small ice pack in the cake box to better preserve the freshness of the cake. |
 |
| Loots on Day1: Popcorn from Planet Popcorn also from Mahkota Parade Mall And some spices |
Day 2: Visit the historical remains and Refusing to walk back to Jonker because of the unbearable heat=P
Let the pictures do the historical quick tour=P
 |
| Me with fat bf.. |
 |
| Making fat bgf to do the jump pose but fail as my phone camera's shutter speed was way too slow-hence gave up at 3rd try.. haha |
Alot of people may comment its not going Malacca if one do not try their Peranakan food =P
We dropped by Nonya Suan as it looks good , address as stated below
 |
| Nice crackers, where I can eat non -stop=P |
 |
| We have the Pedai with prawns. Im not a Pedai person but still went along with it Verdict: Surprisingly good and it encourages me to try Pedai again=D |
 |
| Chap Chai-->Nicely done=D |
 |
| Chicken Curry with Keluwak This dish is awesome, spicy and sour and fragrant at the same time. Very Appetising If you are wondering what is Keluwak, its the black fruit in the picture A clear image of the poisonous black fruit if did not handle with care before cooking  |
 |
| Bought Ochado from Mahkota- Lime juice with Sour plum =P Cold & refreshing at the same time |
Back to hotel for a rest before Dinner time
Took the pictures from our hotel room view while fat bf was napping away
After Fat bf woke up from his slumber land around 730pm, we walked to Jonker Street
Oh well, Jonker Street in the evening is really a different feel from its daytime=P
Its also cooler in the evening and more mobile stall sprouted out along the street as car traffic is not allowed to be in the vicinity
This makes sense as this provides more space for these mobile vendors to sell their food and more gluttons like us to have better choice to try too =D 2ndly, its also safer for the people over there, be it, eating or shopping
Our 1st Dinner stop: Chicken rice in ball form=> A must have in Malacca
Its a challenge to find this gem in Singapore ( or rather I should say, its hard to find as there are very few)
 |
| At some random Chicken rice stall- Did not go to the very famous one Read a lot of review its only so-so Well, for this stall, I only like the rice balls and not the chicken itself Cold and a bit "bloody" |
 |
| Taste So-so |
 |
| Nice chicken balls with 5 balls as the minimum ordering size We ordered 5 to share=P |
Well, poor bf had a bad stomach on the 2nd day hence soon after the 1st stop, he had to run for loo
Hence, leaving me roaming around a bit to look for more food hunt
Had a "Dim Sum take away where you can randomly choose 5 pieces of different dim sum and just pay for RM$3 which is super cheap
Fat bf took one and I ate the remaining 4.
My verdict,: Am cheated by the appearance , it taste very normal, wasted my stomach space
Especially that fat bf cant help to eat much
As fat bf was worried he may have the runs again hence we walked back to the shopping mall
Lucky that we left earlier as we felt light drizzle soon after that
Remember that Hatten is super conveniently linked from the malls
Getting back without getting drench in the rain is such a blessing
Great choice for a hotel like this=D
3rd day: Last day in Malacca
Frankly speaking nothing much to do to while our time away
We chanced upon a archery place
Since we have loads of time and fat bf never try archery before, we went ahead with the game
 |
| Fat bf is super excited with his 1st time trial |
 |
| Obvious with that happy look from his face =P |
 |
| Aim & shoot |
 |
| Still full from morning breakfast at Hatten Hence shared a plate of fried rice from Station Cafe Nice and yummy & cheap =D K, got to log off soon. Its 2:32am in Singapore now Long weekend, cant bear to waste time like this=D Hence best time & mood to blog Till next time =D |
