Weekend surprise... (Part II)

After Jonker Street that evening, we had "Satay Celup" (Peanut gravy dip). Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of the food we ate as we were too hungry to remember *shy*. Anyway, it's like any other common "luk luk" we can get in other places except for the satay dip they provide us to cook our food instead of plain water/soup.

Next was the "Eye on Malaysia". Anybody who missed the opportunity to take a ride on this ferris wheel like me can always come to Melaka to redeem the chance to ride it.

The price list for Eye on Malaysia (Melaka).
However, adults with MyKad are entitled for a 50% discount

The following morning, we managed to visit the Maritime Museum "Flor De La Mar". The ship is actually a rebuilt ship meant to be a museum. Some pictures ..

Two statue on board

We need to remove our shoes/slippers/sandals/heels etc etc upon entering the museum.
Do not fret as plastic bags will be provided. *lol*

Canon!

Models of ship

Ancient armoury

Ancient money

Some coins. Notice the word "Bastardo" here? I thought it meant Bastard! ??

When we felt hungry, we had lunch at a famous chicken rice stall. We had to queue for about 15-20 minutes just to be seated.

The famous chicken rice balls!
Yummy!! Initially it looks like fish balls

My favourite steamed chicken

Right after the main meal, comes the dessert. We tried out another stall's Cendol which was not bad.

Even though I didn't go around alot but it's not a bad place to be in with all the nice foods and desserts..yummy yummy! Looking forward to visit other states as well.

Weekend surprise.. (Part I)

Last Saturday, my dear brought me somewhere out of town for a break..

Here's where the journey started..

Taking pictures throughout the journey

Almost to reach our destination

Toll...

I bet most of you all know where I'm heading to..

Yes... Melaka. Somewhere not too far away and not too expensive to be in.

It was almost 6pm upon arrival as I had to work till almost 4pm that day. Timing was right when we reach as Jonker's street has just started to get crowded and most stalls were already opened. However, the weather wasn't on our side as it was so warm!

Although not all stalls were opened yet,
people were already roaming around Jonker's Street

Some of the cute items sold there

Don't know what is this called but I guess it's "Put Chai Gou" (in cantonese)

Colourful Toys

Cute keychains/mobile hangers in leather

Then we came across this stall..

...and that was me looking at the stall.
I wonder why that man looked angered, I don't remember seeing him.. *lol*

The colourful "dim sums"

Spotted my favourite brinjals

Me choosing and choosing, unable to decide which
Selling at RM1.50 for 3 and RM3.00 for 7 (and so on, the more the cheaper)

I love Melaka's mini mini bowls, saucers, chopsticks.. bla bla bla..
However, I noticed the choices selling there are getting lesser.

Cute clips

Hair ornaments

Dollies

Walked till the sun came down

To be continued...

Awaiting...

Can't wait for tomorrow to come..

Today, I managed to cook mee hoon (rice vermicelli) in chicken soup, simple but edible. Nothing much happened, the pungent as i mentioned at my previous post are getting worse otherwise it's a pleasant day. Oh ya.. forgot my purse though.

Counting down the hours till after work tomorrow... more on my next update!

Pungent

Work was fine today however, there was this annoying, nauseating and hard-to-bear kind of smell. It is a smell of a dead rat I think as mentioned by 1 of my colleagues. We went searching high and low for it, trying to get rid of the smell. Of course we failed and I have to stay with the smell the whole day. *lol* I got immune eventually and totally forgot about it till I went down to the restroom to come up smelling that pungent again.

I guess there are lots of rats/mice at my workplace. Since I'm working in a lab, there are tissues (fresh ones as well) and these rodents love them so much that they stole the blocks of cells/tissues to eat.

Today, my colleagues were asking me if I worried about getting WIDER..

Beef Noodles

What I'm going to post is something I've conveniently forgotten and the pictures I am about to post were kept in my folders for ages. It's a place where I went to have beef noodles. It's the "Famous Ngau Kee Noodles" along Jalan Alor (correct me if I'm wrong). As far as I'm concern, this stall opens at night and past midnight.

Ngau Kee

Menu

Beef noodle (soup)
(Mix; consist of meat balls, minced meat, tripe and slices of meat)

Dry version of beef noodle
Left: Meat and balls in soup
Right : Noodle with generous minced meat toppings

To be matched with the noodles

Actually, I find it hard to get good beef noodles especially here in KL which I believe due to religious reason. However, I only manage to try out this particular stall. The food here was ok but I still prefer Sabah's beef noodle.

Time flies

I've abandoned my blog for more than a month now. There were some things that I need to worry about. However, nothing serious. I'll make this post as short as possible, after all, there were still a lot going on during my non-presence. =)

First things first (my high school motto), my dear got me or rather us a new camera. Nothing big just something fancy..you know what I mean =).

Our new camera

with its new devil red casing ^^

Then, we also managed to take time outs to try out new food.

Firstly, Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen - Chicken and Seafood at Taman Tun Dr. Ismail

This is the Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen seafood set
Hmm.. eaten this quite sometime ago.. forgotten what it's called
Anyways, this set consist of fish strips and succulent prawns. The prawns were yummy.
Oh ya...not forgetting the "Biscuit" which I find it a bit too salty to my liking.

This is their Chicken Rice Bowl.
I didn't know there was lots beans.. I guess it's kidney beans (lazy to find out)
I don't like this dish though.

Side orders: Coleslaw and Mashed potato
I love their mashed potato somehow it tasted delicious on my tastebuds *shy*

We also tried out one of our very own country's favourite, the nasi lemak. We spotted this Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa Kampung Baru at Taman Melati.

The special Air Bandung Soda
It tasted like Fanta Merah Ice. However, something pleasant to consume =)

The common Ice Lemon Tea

Nasi Lemak with fried egg

This plate is with fried Chicken a.k.a ayam goreng berempah
The food was so so.. I still prefer Nasi Lemak sold in stalls where its cheaper and tastier.

The next destination was Thai Express at The Curve. This wasn't actually my first visit however, I noticed they changed their menu - No more pineapple colada which me and my friend Mel had it during our visit. What a waste..

Shrimp paste a.k.a Belacan fried rice.

Obviously ordered by him

This is what I ordered, Green curry (chicken) served with plain rice.
I still prefer the older version of Thai Express. Somehow I think they changed their chef or management.

Last but not least, just last Sunday, we chose The Manhattan Fish Market (the Curve) mainly because of their current offer "1 Xtra Fish FREE". We had our stomaches filled in no time. This offer is valid for their Fish N Chips in either swordfish or Pacific dory. Dave and I both took 1 each and I still prefer the Pacific Dory as it's more tender and finer in texture.

My Fish n Chips or rather Fish n Garlic Rice simply because I prefer garlic rice.

Something else Red besides the camera ^^. Spotted this while at Pavilion.
