Malacca Trip

WaiLeng : Nothing serious la. The same usual problem lor. Tell u what it is already right? Hehe.
Lauren : I had Lemonade Berry. It was really nice if you love strawberry. Kitt asked you to order Pussy Foot? Haha. Well, you know Kitt right... hehe.


Hi people. I'm so tired and full. I think I will give my stomach a few days of rest before eating again. I'm food-phobia now. Haha. Have been eating non stop since yesterday afternoon. Thanks to the big eaters, Kitt and Quek. Me and Alexia are bloated up halfway but they keep on pushing us to try. Haha. Anyway, Alexia is a friend of Kitt. She's a Korean. She has to be one of the people with most unique personality that I've ever met. She is really cute, not the yucky and dumb type of cute, but mature type of cute. I don't know how to explain it here but she's really really cute in her own way. She is very intelligent too but she can't escape the cunning Kitt and Quek. You will know what I mean later. She's really fun, out going, SUPER UNDERSTANDING, daring and nice. Hehe. I'm glad that Kitt invited her to join out trip because she made it more fun and memorable. Haha. Let's start.


When we arrived, we went to find Eu Ling first because she's a local there. She's our tour guide or food guide for the day. Hehe. Thank you very much. Out first stop was supposed to be chicken rice but it was sold out. So we went to a shop that sells Taiwan noodle and pork ribs. The ribs was really nice. Quek ordered beef noodle and it was very nice too. This is me and Kitt's second visit to the shop. The first introduction was by Chau Yen and friends. Hehe. Sorry, too hungry till forgot to take photos. Hehe.

Second stop is a satay shop. I forgot the name -_-" Sorry sorry. The satay was quite good. They serve pork meat, intestine and liver. They have chicken and ketupat too. Hehe. No photos again because I forgot.... sorry sorry

Third stop is a cake shop just a few shops away from the satay shop. I have no idea what the name of the shop is but I really really love this shop very much.

Clockwise from top left : Chocolate Banana, Rum and Raisin, Green Tea, Strawberry, Cheese and Original flavour. There were 6 of us but only 5 people finished all 6 pieces of cake. My personal favourite will be strawberry, green tea and original. The Original flavour ( no idea what is inside ) won our hearts. It was really really good. According to Eu Ling, one slice of cake is more expensive that Secret Recipe. I have no idea how much does on slice cost. Trust me, really the best cake ever. The cafe was very comfortable too. A group of friends can ordered a few slices of cakes and drinks. Eat and gossip for a really long time. Happy days. Hehe.



Fourth stop is "char siew" or honey bbq pork that is recommended by Chai. We have to reach that restaurant before 5.30 to avoid the crowd because everything will be sold out by 7pm. Wow, Malacca people have their dinner very early. Hehe. But it was quite a disappointment because it was not as good as we've expected. Jalan Alor's char siew is still the best for me. I'm craving for it now.... *salivates*



Fifth stop....... okay, no food. Haha. We're too full to eat and we have to wait for Yao Bang and others. So the 4 of us went to A Famosa, the fort, just walk around and take some photographs.





Quek and his "weapon". Check out the face expression. Priceless. Haha.








We then took a short ride on the trishaw that took us to the Red Building ( I don't know the name ).



After the ride, we went up to the fort. Before we reach the fort, we went into a cemetary. SCARY LEH! On the gate, it states that the gate will close at 5pm. At that time, it was already 5.05pm.

Me : What if when we're inside, the guard thought nobody inside, so lock the gate? I don't want to stay inside there for the night.
Quek : Then you stand and guard the gate. Or if he really lock us in, we climb over the fence la.
Me : -_-""

Seriously, cemetary is a scary place. I dare not take photographs when we're inside because what if the ..... okay. You know what I'm going to say right. Haha.





The entrance smells like a lot of people have been peeing in there. Out of a sudden Quek said "Wah, this place very nice. Suitable location to take outdoor wedding photos". Haha. Good idea. With the pee smell, I'm sure the photos will come out looking really good. Haha. This small door reminds me of Bollywood movies. You know, the part the actors and actress play hide and seek and sing and dance. Haha. So funny.







Notice that the statue lost one side of it's hand? Kitt and Quek told Alexia that the guy fought during the war with British in one hand -_-". Luckily Alexia did not believe them this time. Haha. Clever girl.





The following conversation was by Kitt, Quek and Alexia.

Kitt : This is the place where the gabenor hide during war time.
Quek : Yeah. This is the room. *point to one place* That is the toilet. Can you see the bed?




Alexia : Oh, really? I can't see the toilet. It's too dark.
Quek : It's just there, why you can't see?


ME : *trying so hard not to burst out laughing*
Alexia : Why?
Me : This is the place where they kept the prisoner during the war. Not Gabenor's bedroom
By the time I finished my sentence, Quek and Kitt was already running out. Haha.
Alexia : #$@#$@)_$ (in korean).

Haha. I really don't blame her because she has been studying in international schools since she was young. It's not surprising that she don't know about Malaysia history. At first she said the place was for prisoners but then Quek and Kitt with their cunning-convincing look told her that it's the place where the gabenor hides and stays. They are so naughty. Haha.


Sixth stop is Ban Lee Siang (ahhh I remember the name). This is a restaurant that serves satay celup. At first glance, it was really disgusting because they didn't change the satay paste where we cook out food. Meaning the satay paste was used by previous people that sit on the same table!! Horror! But I go for it anyway ( because everybody including Alexia doesn't mind and go for it, I don't want to be left out and kiasu okayyy.... haha). Erasing the thought of the satay paste was previously used by other people, I bravely cooked the prawns. It was really nice. Eu Ling the recommended that cooking the abalone mushroom in the satay paste was the best. Being a big fan of mushrooms, I gave it a try. IT WAS REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD. In the end, I think I ate around 10 pieces of mushrooms, 6 pieces of prawns, come bread, yaw char kuey, chicken meat and had 1.5 glass of watermelon juice. Although it doesn't sound much but bear in mind that we had satay celup at around 8pm, a few hours after the noodle, cakes, satay and char siew rice.

After that, we went to take a ride on something that looks like Solero Shot but it goes up to the top very slowly. The purpose is to allow us look at the night scenary of Malacca town and Malacca Straits. It was so beautiful and cold ( got air cond mah ) up there. Hehe.

I think this ship is a museum. Alexia said she went inside a few years ago and it smells like pee inside. Haha. Nearly everywhere in smells like pee. It is either terrible tourist or yucky locals that loves to leave mark. Like my dog, pee at a place to mark her territory. Haha. Shame on you, whoever who did it.

The round building is Pahlawan Square. It's a shopping centre. It is just in front of the A Famosa fort. The 4 of us went inside to look for toilet. I can smell where the toilet is within 50 metres away. Haha. But only me can smell it. Is it a talent? I doubt that. Haha. Another pee-smell encounter in Malacca, all within the same area. Haha.

Seventh stop was supposed to be cendol at Jonker street but when we reached there, all the shops that sell cendol was in the process of closing. They found a place where there are good music and serves beer. Guys favourite, especially Kitt and Quek. Being easily drunk, I just had a glass of Coke. Haha. Luckily I didn't drink because Alexia and Heng Wen was forced to drink a lot of beer especially Heng Wen. I really pity her. All I can do is just sit there and laugh. Laughing at the way their way of making Quek drunk. Haha. In the end, he was a bit high... near the drunk stage but haven't reach the vomit stage. The furthest record so far was in Maison. Haha. FUNNY!!!



In the end, they pushed Quek out to sing a song. Super funny. I was too busy laughing that I forgot to take a video of the whole process. But he sounds really good. They all praised the guitarist for doing a great job to make Quek sounds good. Haha. No credit for Quek. \

After that, we went to a hotel and bathe ( all 4 of us have this terrible sweat smell and sticky body surface... but it was not as terrible as the pee smell okay.. haha). After that, the 4 of us slept like pigs till the next morning.



The next morning, we went to the chicken rice shop that was supposed to be our first shop for breakfast. The chicken was really good. Meat was really soft but Quek said that the portion was very small. Maybe they removed all the big bones? I have no idea. The rice ball was... well, not my type. I still prefer the normal rice. Hehe.



After that, we went to search for the best Cendol that was recommended by the owner of the chicken rice shop. He said the best Cendol was nearby Lai Lai Emporium by Indian. He said only Indian cendol was good because their gula melaka was really nice. Off we go to search for Lai Lai Emporium. We parked at one place and were told that Lai Lai Emporium was at walking distance from where we parked. So the 4 of us walked under the hot sun. Kitt gave Alexia and me an umbrella ( so sweet ...). We walked up and down the same street just to find that Lai Lai Emporium has changed it's name to... I don't know what name. Haha. We found an Indian stall that sell Cendol nearby the place where Lai Lai Emporium was supposed to be. So Lai Lai Emporium... check. Indian stall that sells cendol... check. Great cendol... well, according to them they found it to be just like normal cendol, don't have the great taste. Haha. After that, we went back to KL.



We went to Klang to tried the spare ribs rice that was recommended by Quek and was really really famous. It was really good. After that, I saw a banner... and me and Quek made a small bet. After that, me being silly suggest something to Kitt and Kitt said to make it our bet prizes, so I agreed. ( I was confident that I'm right.. so was Quek). We went to search for the answer in Quek's house. In the end, I lose. STUPID BANNER! HATE U HATE U! The punishment was... well, taking care of Happy while Quek is away FOR 5 MONTHS!! Aihhh.... but it's okay. Happy is a good dog. He can shake hand. OMG... so cute. Luckily Kitt was having his holiday, then he can take care of Baby while I take care of Happy. Let's hope that my parents will be fine with it and Happy will behave himself. Please please please Happy, be good. I don't want to cook you. Haha.

That's the end of the food expedition. I'm still very full. Alexia gave me some Korean snacks before she got off the car. She's really really sweet. I really like her... A LOT! Haha.

Timetable for next semester is out. It should be okay I guess but still have no idea which elective to take. Haha. Class will start next Monday. Last semester. I CAN DO IT!! USH!!



Time for Theme Hospital.
