  • Malacca: Wan Tan Mee @ Dung Fong Food Court

    Malacca: Wan Tan Mee @ Dung Fong Food Court

    Malacca: Wan Tan Mee @ Dung Fong Food Court – I’ve heard before that the Wan Tan Mee (Noodle) at Malacca is different from elsewhere of Malaysia, the Malaccan has their own version of Wan Tan Mee. Thus, I went to Malacca to identify and see how different it is.


    I found a stall located near to the Tong Bee Seafood which is also recommended by one of the local there. I went there after my little sihum lala meal and it’s actually quite nearbu to each other but then the GPS somehow took me a big round to reach it, don’t know why.

    In a little food court of Dong Feng, many people were waiting for the Wan Tan Mee, it came after 10 minutes of waiting. It’s RM4 per plate and what’s different is there’s sio bak/siu yok roasted pork on it! Normally Wan Tan Mee serves with BBQ pork cha siu, but this one has additional siu yok. The sauce or gravy is a bit more saturated than the normal waterish soy sauce. Indeed, it tasted different because of the gravy that contains a little bit of chilli oil or something like that which tasted a bit of spicyness that I like!

    It’s not a big different as I expected, but it has it own style and I kinda like it with siu yok. If the style is mix with Penang’s and KL’s that it will be super awesome as Penang uses lard, Kuala Lumpur has very good BBQ pork and noodle whereas Malacca’s gravy is special.F Do check out this place if you wanna try out Malacca-style Wan Tan Mee.

  • Malacca: Back Alley Cockles, Lala, Cuttlefish Seafood @ Tong Bee’s Stall

    Malacca: Back Alley Cockles, Lala, Cuttlefish Seafood @ Tong Bee’s Stall

    Malacca: Back Alley Cockles, Lala, Cuttlefish Seafood @ Tong Bee’s Stall – In August, I went to Malacca with friends, but then I missed out quite some nice food spot in the little historical town and one of them is this little seafood stalls located at the back alley / lorong of Jalan Bunga Raya. Little seafood that I mean are those small stuff like lala, siham (cockles), cuttlefish, tiger prawns and some other non-seafood like BBQ toufu.

    It’s a truly local style of food stall because firstly, it’s located on a back alley that you can hardly find it unless you walk into it, then you sit onto a low stool and share a long table with others. Very got feel and culture.

    Notice King’s or MY JEANS FASHION. It’s the alley left to it.

    It took me and Clarice a little while to search for it while driving on Jalan Bunga Raya and finally found it located beside My Jeans Fashion. You will be welcome and amazed by the little stalls located at the back alley, there’s two stalls and go for the one nearer to the street which is Tong Bee Stall, another one is operated by Capitol Satay Celup.

    Famous TV food show host Axian came before too!
    Preparing.
    Sihum Cockles.
    Lala.
    Cuttlefish with Kangkung.

    Sit down on the low stool and start ordering. There’s lala (RM1.50), sihum (RM1.50), cuttlefish with vege (RM7 for 2 person), tiger prawns and BBQ toufu. They are all very small plate and come with hot and sour chilli sauce which is good. Not forget to mention, the price is pretty reasonable too!

    Clarice with the lala.
    Thumbs up initially, thumbs down for the unfortunate event.
    Night comes to life at the quiet alley.

    One unfortunate event was that I ate a very stinky sihum which taste like, dirty drain water or something shit, it just gave me a bad experience. Probably because it’s not clean enough from the mud. Ewwwww. It was a good head start, ended with a bad sihum. But overall, this is something interesting, smell your sihum before you put in your mouth. Haha.

    Malacca: Masjid Selat Melaka / Malacca Strait’s Mosque (Night) – Revisited this cool floating mosque at Malacca for the second time, but this time is during night time. It has become photographer’s favourite place to shoot in Malacca and I being an avid photographer, how can I not check out this place at night and take a few shots? =D

    Hangout @ Jonker

    Malacca: Hangout@Jonker Hotel – Cheap & Clean – OK, it might not as cheap as those backpackers lodge/hostel/beds, but at least, it’s almost a hotel, minus those fancy facilities, but with a clean and minimalist design room, a breakfast bar, friendly staff and a very good location. It’s a no frill hotel like Tune Hotel but has a better looking interiors. =D

    The front facade, it’s a 4 storey shophouse.
    Breakfast/chill area with free Internet access and pantry.

    So this was the place for my night at Malacca last weekend. I’ve tried a backpacker’s lodge before, and now this time, an upgrade from previous one and costed me RM80/night. It’s a promotional rate actually that I’ve got via their Facebook. Hangout occasionally runs promotional deal via their Facebook, so you might have to check out for the best rate. Else, it’s RM147 (Internet) / RM228 (Walk-In).

    View from the roof top. Lovely Malacca river.
    This is the twin hotel room. Simple and clean.
    Overall, the stay was good, it’s just right beside of the famous Jonker Walk of Malacca. No parking available and I parked my car at the Red Christ Church there and walk over to the hotel. Free breakfast provided too with light meal like bread and coffee and one more, there’s a open roof top for chilling and viewing the Malacca river. If it’s always that cheap then good, otherwise, the rate is pretty expensive for budget Malaysian traveler like me. Haha, if you are from the Singapore then it’s pretty good price for you. Cheer!

  • Malacca: Short While At Jonker Walk

    Malacca: Short While At Jonker Walk

    Malacca: Short While At Jonker Walk – The famous Jonker Walk of Malacca, unfortunately, it’s not my cup of tea for this trip. It’s rainy and I only went there to eat Chendul and Nyonya Asam Laksa @ Jonker 88 and also grab a stick of favourite deep fried spiral potato and that’s it.

    Nothing much to explore as I’ve been there for several time, I prefer heading out to look for food where I found a very special back lane seafood stall and Malacca’s Wan Tan Mee – check out my blog later. =D

    So, yeah Jonker Walk a.k.a. Jalan Hang Jebat, the street beside the hotel I was staying and I was there a short while only.

    Good Morning Malacca!

    Malacca: Good Morning, Where’s The Sunrise? – Hello, I just came back from Malacca people, the historical tourist city of Malaysia! I was so lazy this morning and reluctant to go out of my hotel to search for the sunrise spot, so I stayed in my room and keep my eyes out of the window.

    The dragon at the entrance of Jonker Walk sprouts out water from the mouth
    Looking lovely although no sun, I was facing the wrong direction. LOL

    I guess, there’s some problem with my compass on my phone where the East was not really the ‘Sunrise East’ that I was looking out. Anyway, I woke up early, 5 minutes before sunrise time according to Google and waited, but find no sun rise and only a ray of sun glowing at far end. Well, I slept back after that. =D

  • Malacca: Walking Around Chinatown

    Malacca: Walking Around Chinatown

    Malacca: Walking Around Chinatown – It was a sunny afternoon after eating some Cendol and Laksa at the always-crowded Jonker88 Cafe. We strolled around the Chinatown area, which also known as the area around Jonker Walk (Jalan Hang Jebat). This place is very similar to Penang, the old-school electic straits shophouses and the street are almost the same. It’s just that the street in Malacca is narrower and the number of these shophouses are less than in Penang.

    One thing I like about Malacca is that they truly develop this heritage part of the city into a living museum and tourist area. It’s so tourist concentrated with souvenir shops, cafe, restaurant and guesthouse all around this place. I like walking around the heritage area, it’s like bring me back in time.

    Jalan Tukang Emas and Jalan Tukang Besi are full of guesthouses.

    Joss sticks.

    Inside Cheng Ho Tea House & Museum. Ground level is free of charge and one have to pay RM10 to visit the upper level.

    You can check out the electronic puppet show which tells you the story of Cheng Ho.

    Little ang-mo kid who was watching the puppet show.

    The No. 8 Heeren Street is a museum located on Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock, also known as Heeren Street is currently number 1 to-do in Malacca according to TripAdvisor. Unfortunately, it was closed when we were there. I’ve no idea what is it about but curious.

    Do you like Malacca? How about Penang? Penang is the best, because I am from Penang. =D

  • Malacca: Nadeje Cafe Mille Crepe Cake

    Malacca: Nadeje Cafe Crepe Cake

    Malacca: Nadeje Cafe Crepe Cake – There’s one thing that is very famous in Malacca, not the Chicken Rice Ball, not the Cendul, not a typical local food but it’s a kind of desserts, it’s layered mille crepe cake (thousand layer cake 千层蛋糕). Malacca must be familiar with this name – Nadeje, a famous cafe that makes good crepe cake and has a variety of flavours of them.

    Malacca: Nadeje Cafe Crepe Cake

    Every one was talking about it previously on Facebook, on Twitter and so here I am to check it out the place and of course, the crepe cake. There’s 3 outlets in Malacca, one in Melaka Raya, one in Dataran Pahlawan and the latest is at Jaya 99. We went to the most original outlet and that’s at Melaka Raya. It was 5.30pm and not surprise, people were waiting outside to be seated. It’s full house! We waited for like 20 minutes only then we got place to sit.

    The interior decoration of the cafe is pretty cool and in a sense of contemporary design.

    Looking at the menu, there’s many food for you to eat like pasta, chicken chops and more, but our main purpose of the visit was the crepe cakes! We ordered the crepe cake first at the counter upon entering and it costs RM9.50/slice. There’s many choices for you to pick and we picked 4 to try out. They are:

    • Mango Crepe Cake
    • Tiramisu Crepe Cake
    • Chocolate Crepe Cake
    • Original Crepe Cake

    They all looked very pretty. The first few taste of them were good, they were sweet, but not overly sweet, and a strong essence of milk can be felt on our taste bud. It was nice, but eating more of them started to make me feel bored of it, it’s just too much of milk. Maybe, maybe it’s not really my favourite thing, or maybe it’s just too much, but I just felt enough of it after eating half. Some says it’s over-rated, some says it’s good,well, I’ll say, it’s good, BUT, it’s my first time eating crepe cake, so I can’t judge whether it’s the best or not. What do you think?

    One more thing, original and chocolate are awesome.

  • Malacca: Hing Loong Taiwanese Noodle @ Jalan Bachang

    Malacca: Hing Loong Taiwanese Noodle @ Jalan Bachang

    Malacca: Hing Loong Taiwanese Noodle @ Jalan Bachang – On my recent visit to Malacca, I have found a nice eatery outlet and that is this Hing Loong Taiwanese Noodle shop at Jalan Bachang. It was introduced by a local Malaccan friend and he brought us here to try out. Malacca is always famous for Chicken Rice, Laksa, Cendol but this is something new to me.

    Malacca: Hing Loong Taiwanese Noodle @ Jalan Bachang

    Malacca: Hing Loong Taiwanese Noodle @ Jalan Bachang

    Although it’s new to me, it has more than 30 years of history in Malacca and serves Taiwanese style beef noodle, pork rib noodle, and more of Taiwanese-style noodle. It’s something very special. Normally we only get to eat them in Taiwanese restaurant, but this one is located in a local-style kopitiam (coffee shop).

    Malacca: Hing Loong Taiwanese Noodle @ Jalan Bachang

    It’s famous for Beef Noodle, you can choose either soup base, or dry base. Since it’s famous, I’ve ordered a dry one and it looks and tastes good! I’ve never been to Taiwan but I’ve been to a lot Taiwanese restaurant, I’ve got to say that this one is better. It’s spicy, the beef is soft and tender, and the thick flat noodle is very springy. Yums. Best of all, it’s only RM4.50, so much cheaper than those in Taiwanese restaurant in the mall.

    Ignore the food presentation, it might not looks good, but it’s nice.

    Malacca: Hing Loong Taiwanese Noodle @ Jalan Bachang

    Pork rib noodle @ RM4.20. A little soup with a few pieces of grilled pork rib. This one is not a spicy, the soup tasted a bit sweet and salty. Nice too.

    Zhajiangmian 炸酱面 @ RM4.20. Fried minced meat sauce noodles, didn’t try this, so I can’t comment on this.

    Little Min tagged along with us, she’s my friend, Jia Hui’s cousin. Cute right? Very talkative.

    Well, the lunch was simply awesome, but the portion seems to be a little. You can order some side dish like beef soup, pork ribs and more to eat along. If there’s a chance, I wanna come back for it again.
