We basically did not have any planning. No itineraries. Nothing. The only thing we decided is what time we would leave from KL and as well as who is going.
So I go with the timing, picking up both Yw and Vy around 8am this morning. Then I proceeded to fetch Joanna. For some stupid reason, which is actually drama...she slept late. Great...Really shitting f-ing great...some more don't wanna on her mobile phone. WTF!!!! We told her the time to leave, and she watched drama till 7am...OMFGSBBQCHICKEN!!!! Stupid shit!!!! Then some more don't wanna on alarm. ROAR!!! Lucky I managed to keep myself calm and never scolded her. First time I've managed that really. Usually quite impatient with her. Unbelievable attitude from Joanna. =(
So after some breakfast, we went on to pick up Ai Woon.
Then got onto the NKVE, thought it was straight down to Melaka already, so I wasn't really looking at the signboard. Drive drive drive....shit...wrong road...suppose to follow KLIA to NSE. Stupid...wasted toll money and fuel. Crap! Nevermind, holiday...happy a bit. So cursed a few preferred swear words, make a quick U-turn, and drove on.
Nothing much happened on the NSE, except if you wanna count those times when I saw Yw was happily chatting away and I "accidentally" stepped on the accelerator, and the speed went up to 160km/h. What's next? Some screaming from Yw brought me back to my senses...and I slowed down again. Hahaha. That was fun.
Initially Vy and I, we discussed that we should bring a cloth, to stuck up to Yw's mouth on the highway so I can speed through the journey without having to break my eardrums. Then...after some more discussions, we decided, we should really bring 3 cloths, 1 for Yw, 1 for Joanna (She talks a lot too), and 1 for Aw, just in case. But we figured out that would be pointless as Joanna would eat her cloth, and then eat up the other two...coz she's a hungry monster =D
Once we reached Melaka...everyone was hungry. So, we figured we should go start our feasting time. We went straight to a famous Chicken Rice Ball shop. This shop is famous because they've been interviewed by Ah Xian from AEC Channel from Astro. Famous guy. This shop sells the chicken rice in the hainanese way, steamed chicken with rice. The food here is not bad, and definitely not too expensive. At least the steamed chicken got no stupid chicken smell which I hated a lot! Aw and Joanna don't like the rice ball too much, but I liked it, so thanks for your riceballs =)
This one is famous till Ah Xian came too!! =D
The Chicken Rice Balls!!
Nice place
Happy after eating
Okkk...wth is with the chicken rice???
After eating...unbelievable...Vy and Ai Woon were saying they are not full at all. WTH!!! That was quite a lot of food man...So since they are still hungry...we went on to eat the famous Melaka cendol!! Situated not that far from there, its actually just a stone throw away, lie the famous stall 88, Jonker St cendol. Every site I went to to research on food in Melaka the previous day recommended that very stall. Well, I didn't had a cendol, but instead I had an ice kacang. I think there's a mistake btw...my ice kacang is like super sweet. A bit too much gula Melaka??? I don't know. Cendol is pretty Ok in my opinion. Taste good with the gula Melaka. The fragrant aroma of it. =P
The ice kacangs and cendols =)
Happy and eatingEating so much, we've decided its not at all healthy. Then we walked a bit and saw MY ASSOCIATION!!! HOKKIEN ASSOCIATION!!! =D
Can't resist and just took a picture with it. Hehe
OMG...I look fat...the fattie in pink =S
Then we proceeded to climb the hill up to A' Famosa. Mind you, that was quite a high hill, overlooking the straits of Melaka. I'm glad to be up there actually...that is the only place the whole day that I went to that is windy. I don't mind getting under the sun with those breeze hitting my face. So nice. If only there was a bed, I'd sleep there.
We passed through the Stadhuys to get to A'Famosa.
The new drama in town. The Crazy Four
Bomb Vy...haha
Passed these buildings on the way and then spotted a beautiful red flight of stairs. And the picture frenzy monster came into us again. Annnnddd...we couldn't resist ourselves. But hey, hahaha, this two pictures are my favourite. Looks nice =D
Nice building!! Its another Hokkien Association. Eng Choon hokkien =) My hokkien
Super Love this...so ancient!! And its still working!!!Then we headed to a shopping mall nearby. If not mistaken, its Mahkota Parade Shopping Mall. After that, we went back to our car to head to the next destination. We went to eat some firewood pizza. Yes...its really cooked with firewood. I even got a picture of their oven. Too bad its not open at 3pm. So we decided to go around some places lepak, wait till 4pm, which is the time they start to operate again.
We went to a food court named Newton. Heck...this is the coolest food court in the entire world!!! The building was nicely built, with the taste of Melaka. HOWEVER...too bad, bad construction, while we're enjoying our herbal tea egg (yes we had that), a piece of the roof fell down. Lucky nobody was walking by that area, or else...its gonna be some horror scene. NOT ONLY THAT! I got a freaking summon by the Majlis Perbandaran Melaka!!! SHIIIIIT!!! But haha, too bad, I'm not gonna care bout it. Hahahaha!
PROOF!!!
Damn it...speechless...
No photo allowed...oops...
Those shops in Melaka is really nice. They have the olden days looks to it. It looks so ancient yet beautiful in its own way at the same time. Then at 4pm, we reached that pizza place. We ordered 2 pizzas. My verdict, the food is not bad, but the first pizza lacks warmth. Its tad bit too cold. Only warm, but not hot. But still, I'm happy with it. My first firewood pizza!!!! Hahaha.
The oven. So cute.
The thing that came out of the oven
Weirdest food...Ingredient is ROCKET????!!!!! O.o
That place is so beautiful =)Then next we had the famous Nyonya food at over Melaka Raya. I don't know how Nyonya food is, so I don't know what the expectations should be. But I had a yellow curry chicken, that is the most awesome food there. The rest...Ok ok only la.
It must have been my maddest craziest stupidest food fest ever...straightaway after dinner...we go and eat Melaka's famous satay celup. We went to one of the more famous restaurants there that serve satay celup. OMG!!! It was no kididng...lucky we arrive a bit earlier. I think we had the last available table. The next group of people are actually lining up to get a table. Can you believe it???
I SWEAR THE LINE IS LONGER BEFORE THIS!!
The line as I was leaving
"Celup celup, celup sampai masak, lepas tu celup sampai ke dalam mulut."
All of us were tired in the end...but for some reason, nobody slept. Everyone kept talking and talking. I was pretty tired...all traffic rules obligation forgotten...I didn't care bout the speed limit anymore. 130-140km/h all the way back. Should have reached KL by 10.03pm, but...Vy was busy talking. Hahaha, so we missed another shorter route...and went on to a further way back. In the end...I reached home by 11.30pm. Phew...it was tiring. But this has gotta be one of the best trip I've had this summer. Everyone's crazy. And I would like to thank Joanna for her help on this trip. Without her, this trip would be quite...lost. Hahaha.
Thanks again everyone. =)
Now I can go back to Semenyih happy and contented, after a real trip with the craziest bunch of people I've met. =) Will miss you guys a lot.
