Malacca: The Historical State
I was at Malacca over the weekend with uni friends. Great place, albeit the hot weather, and the food there is certainly tummy-6packs-in-1-builder!
Our first stop – the well-known Chicken Rice Ball!
Well it tasted like normal chicken rice but the rice is rolled up into a ball – making it unique! Here’s my plate…
2 chicken rice balls with a chicken wing. Looking interesting huh?
Next up – we headed to the Red City of Malacca!
It took us quite some time to search for parking spots. The city was certainly overcrowded with cars – and they park for a long duration!
See, so many parking coupons – park so long for what? This guy must be searching for Parameswara, the founder of Malacca back in the early 1400s.
We headed to the famous A ‘Famosa Fort by the Portuguese and on the way, we took some pictures.
The group I went with – 11 of us.
And I tried some jumping shots – FAILED miserably.
Somehow I look like Wolverine – about to pound on someone. Cool huh?
Oh yeah, I had to censor my revealed abdomen. I don’t want any unnecessary attention caused by my attractive and obvious 6packs-in-1 abs. ;)
We then proceeded to the almighty fort – my first time there!
Certainly amazing – although it’s very old already.
We then walked up to the higher fort and there, we were able to have a wonderful view of Malacca city.
Look at the guy in orange shirt. Tsk tsk tsk. Naughty naughty.
After that, we walked to Jonker Street, or Walk.
And feasted on the delicious local cuisine, especially Durian Cendol! Now I’m carving for more cendol!
After dinner we took a stroll along the street – somehow it looked like pasar malam (night market) to me. But of course, the food there is exceptional.
Later that night we visited the Eye on Malaysia in Malacca!
It was my first time laying my eyes on this magnificent structure – never been to the one previously in Titiwangsa.
For supper, Satay Celup!
Heard of it? It’s like satay but the stick is dipped (translation of “Celup”) into the gravy and wait for it to cook. It’s like satay-cum-steamboat.
Totally delicious – I ate until my 6packs-in-1 abs grew larger!
The next day, we had Nyonya Food for lunch.
It was kinda spicy but I can totally withstand it. I normally don’t take spicy food for your information. Compliment me please?
Anyway, the 2 days trip was certainly fun. Eat so much until I have more obvious 6packs-in-1 abs. Wanna see?
Don’t want lah. Later you jealous! =P
More details of the trip will be published soon. Stay tuned! =)

For some reason, I dont know why nobody goes to Malacca for the pork satay.
I dont really like the satay celup, but pork satay? OMGWTFBBQ. Ill go to Malacca just to get it.
Comes with a special satay sauce which has a pineapple base. So the sauce is really good. And the pork satay? So goooooooooooooooood! with 14 o's
If you like pork intestines like I do, its fucking delicious.
Used to be at jonkers street, then moved to somwhere near a "rangers college" not really sure bout the name, but i think i got the rangers part right.

There are more food apart from those.

For Nyonya food, I miss pomteh the most T_T
