Melaka City (Half Day)

On our back from Johor Baru, we dropped by the historical Melaka city 
for a half day makan (food) tour.

First stop was to  - Ming Sate Hut near Plaza Mahkota for their grilled 
Pork satay , innards and Chicken  gizzards satay with their irresistible
pineapple/peanut sauce (a Melaka specialty). 

Next we drove to nearby Yong Seng Gift Shop to buy 3 in 1 coffee and bisquit.

Then a distance away to Baba Charlie in Tengkera to buy and takeaway nyonya 
kueh mueh and ate pie tees that was made on the spot by a young guy.

After that all the way to Cafe  Lin's in Limbongan, for a wholesome Peranakan 
home cooked chap fan (economy rice) lunch,  buah keruak curry and cendol.

Umma Son Korean Restaurant.

I don't really eat Korean food too often.

I am no expert on it but if it's good and appeal to my taste buds I will be a convert.

My children loves Korean food and they have good taste too!

As for me, the urge to try Korean food was after watching "Barefoot Friends"
where these group of Korean artistes get to eat authentic home cooked Korean food
at their host's home.

Umma Son is just the right place for authentic home cooked styled Korean food.

Not much decor and if you are early, not crowded (can be too quiet).

The side dishes of banchan are the  usual stuff, the kimchi and julienne potato salad standout....etc

The pork ribs (half rack) soup is thick and full of flavor with potato, oyster mushroom, spring onion and chillies-tender and meaty.

Another claypot dish comes with springy noodle, rice, beans, tofu, ham, sausage, oyster mushroom, golden needle mushroom and spring onion in a sweet, sour, spicy soup.

The chicken gizzards fried with onion, garlic, black sesame, red and green chillies is crunchy and a good workout for the jaw.

The well fried golden brown savory seafood (squid, shrimp and scallion) pancake is exceptionally good

Parking is bearable.

Sam U Clay Pot Restaurant.

The missus was lazy to cook after a long shopping spree at the Gardens Mall.

The sweet and sour fish at Sam U Clay Pot Restaurant in Petaling Jaya New Town Center came to mind-it was a clear favorite the last time we ate there.

In the evening, parking was easy.


From where we were seated - the famous Teo Chew braised duck stall next door was filled to the brim while the satay man was busy fanning his grill skewered meats.


After a ten minutes wait our food was served - in a well co-ordinated way-one after another.


The portions were just right and was 'restaurant's standard' cooked.
