Cuti-cuti Malaysia, Melaka 2012 (part 2)

This is the last update of my Melaka trip..

Nadeje Patisserie-Mille Crepes

I have heard of this famous Mille crepes, this time i managed to try it. After our Nyonya meal at Taman Melaka Raya,  we headed to their shop located at Plaza Mahkota ( I thought plaza should be look like shopping mall but i was wrong, actually Plaza Mahkota is all shop lots)

Wehought there will be long queue but we were wrong, plenty of seats for us to choose..



Since we just had dinner, so we just ordered two for a try..This is strawberry crepes..

The taste of this crepe was just ok, a very creamy kind of cake, i feel this crepe cake is nothing to shout out..

The original flavour..

Ole Nyonya Melaka - Nyonya cruisines

Everytime when we visited to Melaka, we will sure take dinner at Ole Nyonya restaurant...

From the outside look quiet only, but when we opened the doors, there were full of peoples !

This lantern must be very old already..

No nice look but very tasty salted veggie and duck soup.(RM 10.50).

sambal petai prawn (RM 12)..quite good..

   

Kapitan chicken curry (RM12), this was good too..



Chap Chai  (mixed vegetables) RM10, they cook it with fermented soy bean paste, quite good..

Otak-otak (RM 10.50), quite good too.

You can refill rice as many times you like, love how they serve rice in the wooden basket with banan leaf..

  
Plus drinks, total bill came to RM 92 (quite reasonable price)

Donald & Lily - Nyonya Laksa (Halal)

Located at an old wooden house, love this kind of atmosphere, remind me of my grandfather's wooden house in the old time..

There is no menu provided, you just look up and make the order from the menu hanging on top..there are only few dishes to choose, Nyonya laksa, Mee Soon Siam, Cendol, Chap Chai, fried rice, nasi lemak and Pongteh chiken..

They add sago in the cendol, taste just like normal cendol..

We love their Nyonya laksa, not overing seasonings and not too creamy, yummy!

Oh, their Mee Hoon Siam also very good, we packed back to hotel since we were too full after taken  the laksa.. I also cook this when came back home, will post recipe in next post..



They are going to move to new place after 16th June 2012..we actually spotted their new shop which located at new business shop lot. But I still prefer their old wooden shop which located at the famous Red House area..

Hassan’s Mee Goreng @ Jalan Tengkera, Melaka

This is a stall that i wanted to try long ago. I saw in an old Flavours food magazine recommended their famous Mee Goreng.. another very crowded eating place..

You can see a bottle of  cuka(vinegar) and kicap manis (soy sauce) on each table,,which you can mix into your noodles’ according to your own liking..

half cooked deep fried egg with cucumber and their homemade sambal..

Actually their mee goreng is very simple, stir fry yellow noodles, bean sprouts and sambal..

RM 1.50 per plate..The taste was quite good, it taste even better if you added the cuka and kicap!

I love their Nasi Lemak more than mee goreng, sweet sambal and nasi kukus, perfect!

If this nasi lemak wrap with banana leaf, lagi bagus!

Hassan’s Mee Goreng
Jalan Tengkera (near Methodist Girl School)

Actually we have few eating places missed to visit, like famous satay celup (we went there but they were closed) , nyonya kueh stalls & etc.. these places we will keep for next visit..

More photos to share

I like to see old houses in Melaka..

Cuti-cuti Malaysia, Melaka 2012 (part 1)

Last week we went for a short trip to Melaka. We did not visit any tourist places since we had visited last time, instead my kids were enjoy in the pool and our main purpose was to hunt for good foods..

Bert's Garden, Medan ikan bakar

My husband had mentioned to me many times about his's favourite and best nasi lemak served in Bert's Garden. This time he managed to bring us there..He had hard time to locate this place, made a few calls to his Malay friend, finally we reached there and sun was going to set..this restaurant just located by the seaside..

 

very nice dipping sauce for grilled fish

their grilled fish was very fresh and good !! but very pricey (RM60)..

First time tried this Cucur Geragau (Geragau is shrimp that use to make cencaluk). The taste was good too..I bought a pack of this geragau, going to cook this at home soon..

we ordered an extra plate of stir-fried kangkung to enjoy with Nasi lemak..

Here comes the nasi lemak..My husband said this is the best nasi lemak but for me this was just taste ok, i feel their sambal added too much of gula melaka..I still prefer Hassan's nasi lemak (will post it later)..

(RM4 per plate)



Lucas look burnt because he just came back from camp..

Chung Wah Chicken rice balls shop

My kids asked to bring them to eat chicken rice balls..we went to this famous shop..very packed during lunch hour..

Did you spot the sesame oil that they use? dont know where to get this..

For me, the chicken was a bit overcooked but the sauce was tasty..

Here comes the rice balls, I feel like eating kueh but not eating rice,,still prefer normal chicken rice..But kids were enjoyed them..



Chung Wah Coffee Shop is easy to find, they just located at Jonkey street..


Here are few photos taken during our walk to Red House area (Dutch Square)..

Stir-fried Squids with Pineapple

Just came back from a short trip from Melaka. Once returned home, start to busy purchasing, packing and making delivery for My Kedai Runcit orders (Hokkaido cupcake case, Puteri ayu mould and skewer are selling hot!!)...just realized that quite a lot of works just to manage this small kedai runcit, hehehe...but it is a good experience and exposure to business world..

I cooked this stir-fried squid with pineapples few weeks ago. I have almost forgotten this dish which my mom use to cook for us when we were kids..if you like sweet and sour dish, you will love this..The important tip is do not overcooked the squids otherwise it will turn chewy and hard..

Launch of My Kedai Runcit (Shop)

I have been receiving many readers asking me where to buy this and that. I try to provide them with the shop address but some couldn't go there because the distance or not familiar with the area. Sometime i help to buy for them. ..So i came out with this idea of My Kedai Runcit (shop) I will help to source of the baking items, traditional moulds or whatever items or ingredients that you have seen in my blog. I will pack them and ship to you and you pay for the shipping cost..I know i will not earn much out of this (that's why i called my shop as kedai runcit, earning few cents and ringgit only ^_^), but i just like to help to who has the same passion like me (love to cook and bake!!)..

Please refer to top right page for My Kedai Runcit..Oversea buyers are welcome too, but you need to consider of the shipping cost (afraid the shipping cost is more than items cost) before you decide to place an order..

Happy Shopping !!
