Miche’s house
While we were back to Melaka, I took the opportunity to visit Miche and her kids again (also to collect the pineapple jam made by Miche’s mum).
There wasn’t anyone at home this time, except Miche and her kids. Therefore my kids were not shy this round and were happily playing away with the toys and riding front and back in Miche’s house.
Peranakan dishes: Ayam Pongteh, Asam Fish, Fried long beans, Mix vege, and Mee Sua Soup
Miche even asked her mum to come over and cook up a delicious storm of Nyonya dishes for us. “Miche, I am going to learn to make nice Ayam Ponteh and your Ikan Goreng Asam too!”
Wouldn’t have agreed go to her house for lunch if I knew her MIL and maid is not around. Poor girl, I do not know how she manage to take care of 4 kids plus one BIG house.
Tai Bak, one of the Peranakans’ desserts
Although I grow up in Melaka, I have not tasted or seen the Tai Bak dessert. Miche’s mum made this cooling dessert (just like those green cendol except it is made from rice flour). Miche told me that Tai Bak is to be eaten cold with sweet sugar syrup to cool the body. Just simply delicious.
Can you see how BIG is baby Ezra? Almost same size with my 15months boys!
Saw the beautiful and natural compound at her home? Besides many swings hung under their shaddy trees and 3 big fish pond, can you see there is even an elevated play area for the kids at the left under the tree? This reminds me of my late Great Grandmother’s place where I used to play when I was young. Will definitely dump hubby and ask him go check out the insurance quotes and such so I can visit Miche and spend one whole day there with my kids when the boys are older enough to play and run wild again. Just simply love this place.
Look closely at the girls (Clarissa and QQ). Don’t they look funny with double specs each?
I always love to read your blog and Miche’s blog when you both talk about your kids. The babies are all so cute!

Really salute Miche for taking care of 4 kids on her own. And the food…just like in the show Little Nyonya. Goshhh…baby Ezra is really HUGE for his age or maybe your boys are small?

Aiyo, all these food are making me hungry. You guys look great. Not to mention the babies too heheh…
Baby Ezra is not huge. Chinnee’s twins are small in size.

Correction: The fish dish is called Ikan Goreng Asam. Asam Fish is another Nyonya dish. I shall cook that during your next trip ok.
