10-MEALS-TRIP

Yes – you heard it right. 10 meals in one trip in 10 hours.

On Tuesday, since most of us were on leave to avoid the jam for Thaipusam, we (self, CK, YY, Ms Lactose, Boon Seong) went to Seremban-Malacca for our glutton trip a.k.a. Fei Chai Trip I. (Yes, there are more to come.. there goes my diet plan for the year)

Here’s the stuff we ate, in chronological order…

Meal #1


Beef Noodles

We had this in Seremban. The stall has been there as long as CK could remember. Since little, CK’s parents always took them there to have their hot and delicious beef noodles. The stall is near the Seremban Market.

Meal #2

It is actually a siew pao or an egg tart for each person. I didn’t manage to snap the pics as they were gobbled up the moment they entered the car.

Meal #3


Hainanese Chicken Rice

This is the ever famous Hainanese chicken rice in Malacca, situated near the river, right in front of OCBC Bank. Usually, we would have popiahs or pineapple tartlets to go with the chicken rice, but the popiah selling ah pek was not there on Tuesday.

The taste had gone a bit way out of its usual scrumptiousness, nevertheless, it could still stimulate our taste buds.

The same Chinese man with grey hair is still there, chopping the chicken with his high culinary skills.

The chicken rice always go well with iced barley lime.

Meal #4


Tarts

Just curious on how durian tarts taste like, we had a piece of something else as well- pandan, durian, blueberry, portuguese and egg.

Meal #5


Chendol

This chendol had also gone way from its original taste. Used to taste so much better the last time I was here.

Meal #6


Nyonya

Had nyonya food at Ole Sayang Restaurant. It seemed, the place had gone over commercialized and it showed in its servings and food quality. There are better nyonya food at Makko Restaurant.

Meal #7


Baba Durian Chendol

I spotted this shop while we drove through the narrow one-way streets, on our way to Harper’s restaurant for tea. Since the first chendol sucks, we decided to try another real durian chendol. This one taste much much better compare to Tan Kim Hock’s – according to CK. Simply heaven!

Meal #8


Fishball

We had the chendol together with fishballs. The fishball was a bit pricey, 50 sen per piece, but they were really fresh and succulent. This shop serves assam laksa, curry mee, soup noodles as well. Try to go early for taste.

The Shop

Highly recommended! It is situated at Jalan Hang Lekiu, right below Antique Shop 88.

Meal #9


Coffee and Beer

Attempting to let our stomach rest, we down some iced coffee and beer at Harper’s restaurant, overlooking the Malacca River and took a short nap.

Meal #10


Portuguese

Sorry about the picture – everybody was over excited with the smells and presentation of the food that they wanted to dig in immediately and had no time to let me take some pics. We had the portuguese food at this restaurant called, El Chino - Joanne, something something. Not bad.

Highlight of the Trip

CK drove all the way from KL to Malacca and back to KL without his identification card and driving license as he left his wallet at home.

Boon Seong ate 5 plates of white rice in total, chicken rice balls not included.

Ms Lactose, being lactose intolerant survived the cheese and milk booby traps.

YY, being the slowest eater, managed to compete with big eaters like me and get her portion well.

Me, on the other hand.. had succumbed to terrible sore throat and cough for two days now due to the food, basking in the hot sun and talking too much in the car.
