Driving back was always easy in the past. But this time, jam was extremely bad. We used to travel very early in odd hours to beat the jam, but this time, hubby said we should enjoy and take our time.
Jam along the whole stretch highway from Toll at Gombak Exit till Bentong
I think [...]
Going back Melaka now no longer like those days. The whole town is super crowded even though on a normal weekend, what’s more a longer weekend with a public holiday. And then we encounter a horrible jam on the North-South Highway upon exit from Melaka, thank goodness we managed to exit at Senawang after 2 [...]
We went back to Melaka since it was a 3 days holiday. This trip back was good because we brought the kids to many places. Places that tourist usually go to, a very hot and crowded place that I would very much like to avoid, for instant, the very much praised Zoo Melaka.
We woke up [...]
I just love cakes, with LOTS of cream (even better if it is buttercream!).
A yummy butterfly cake with buttercream made of 1 whole chunk SCS butter, decorated by QQ. Ccut and assembly idea I got from this website).
So afraid I would ended up swallow the whole cake to myself, I purposely baked one just before [...]
I better start jotting down everything now otherwise I’ll have too much to write later on.
Restaurant Sek Lok Fook (well hidden inside Section 7, Sg.Long)
Since my family in Melaka cannot celebrate CNY or do any visiting this year, I planned to go back to Melaka earlier, upon school holiday starts. Hence we went for a [...]
A trip back to Melaka would not complete if we do not go to feast at our favourite place at Gajah Berang. My brother always insists having breakfast at Ban Hong Xiang Tea House, which most Melaccan believe that they serve the tastiest Pau in the whole wide world! They serve Dim Sum and even [...]
Today mark the 2nd day of our makan trip
We reach Melaka only at dinner time last night so we headed directly to the shop serving oyster noodle next to the Pos Office at Padang Temu. Greedy me ordered so many dishes, but ended up can’t finish them (good that I have smaller appetite [...]
Only 5 minutes away from my mum’s house, we often go to Perhentian Kuih Kampong for our evening tea. They serve very good small pack nasi lemak (70sen/pack), and have the most variety of Malay Kuih in Melaka. Among my favourite is their juicy Kuih Koci (40sen/pc) which is very thickly ladden with white coconut [...]
Kedai Kopi Teck Wah Heng (another quieter part of Jonker Street)
When I was schooling, this used to be one of my favourite shop for breakfast. I have not visited this place, I think for more than 5 years.
Yummy soft pork slice coated with flour
This shop is famous for their soft pork slice (flour coated) cook [...]
Since it is Christmas Eve, and my mum’s house is a bridge across the famous Portugis Settlement, we decided not to drive out anymore that evening, just in case we got stuck outside, not able to go drive home that night. After dinner, together with my mother, we walked to the Portugis Settlement to see [...]
Eating in Melaka is great and we love going back for food. Of course we will not go to famous places with lots of tourist with crazy crowds queing on the middle of the road (pic here on our national paper), under the hot sun standing in the middle of the road, waiting for a [...]
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 [...]
Instead of using plastic bags now, many people have head towards using reusable bags today when they are shopping and even in the wet market.
I collected several free bags and I find them very useful especially when we travel back to hometown. We no longer use our proper luggage bags as I find them too [...]
It is going to be a long holiday, isn’t it great to live in this beautiful country with so multi festive seasons celebrated throughout the year? Since there is no place to go, we decided to go back to Melaka to my beautiful hometown. I can’t wait to eat all my favourite food in Melaka [...]
Believe or not, I have not been to any ikan bakar in Melaka before this although I have been growing up and staying in Melaka for more than 20 years. My mum was strict, so I can’t go out far with friends at night. So when I grow up, I almost forgotten about these places [...]
