Another memory to be recorded...

One of the rare full-time enjoyable weekends.

3rd July 2010(Saturday)
"Jalan-jalan cari makan" around Malacca

The day starts with "Jalan-jalan cari makan" around Malacca town the whole Saturday. We started off journey around 12pm meeting with colleagues who were having breakfast at a dim sum shop named "GW" at Taman Melaka Baru area. Then we proceed to Nadeje Cake shop situated near Dataran Pahlawan(just opposite "Wok and Pan") in Malacca town centre. The cake there were quite expensive but very delicious and unique due to the the special layered structure and it's taste better that day maybe due to what i heard the cakes are freshly baked around lunch time. After that, we proceed to the Satay shop which is quite famous and just situated a few shops away from the cake shop.

A variety of satays are offered in that shop which includes chicken, pork, pig intestines and many more. Another attraction of the food would be the satay sauce which they add in pineapple as one of the ingredient. The price is a little bit expensive as a stick cost about RM0.60. Then we proceed to walk around historical places such as the A Famosa, St Paul's Hill and the Stadhuys due to 1 of my colleague hasn't been in Malacca for 9 years already. On top of the hill, there's a stall selling keychain with wooden plate with pictures and writing painted by himself. He can write messages or names on the back of the wooden plate for free if u buy 1 from him and his writing are very unique as he's being in this business for around 20 years. The price of 1 wooden plate is around RM4.00 but if u buy 3 then it will be RM10.00.

After a long walk, we're tired & sweating so we went to shop named Jonker88 which is situated along Jonker Walk for a bowl of cool Cendol and Laksa to fill back the used energy from walking. As usual the shop was fully packed especially with tourists but luckily we didn't need to wait that long for a place to sit. After that, we went to Cheng Hoon Teng temple to pray and have a look at the detailed sculptures crafted many years ago. Our next stop is the famous "Roti Terbang". It's actually a stall located near Kampung Lapan. The "Roti Terbang" is actually a normal roti canai but the roti canai is tossed in a unique way that it's flying like a boomerang.

Other than the impressive show, the roti canai is also very crispy and the price is not expensive unlike those tourist spots.

Later, we try our luck and went Klebang to find the famous Coconut Shake but Lady luck wasn't at our side. Well, it's our mistake too due to not doing enough homework & research the place 1st. The opening hours of the stall is from 12pm-6.30pm only. The last food destination for the day was Restoran Ban Lee Siang Satay Celup located along Jalan Ong Kim Wee. We didn't go for the famous Capitol due to long queue during weekends and this shop was considered as 2nd most famous Satay celup in town. After a full day of foods & walking, we called it a day.
