Mille Crepe@Nadeje,Melaka.

I am no big fan of Mille crepe and my only taste of it is at Food Foundry.

Never knew Malaysians love it so much and need to queue to taste it.

The Mille crepe comes with many flavors and toppings.

Nadeje@Melaka is a happening place to meet and to be seen plus to satisfy your sweet cravings,
with a cup of coffee, tea or juices.

We were lucky not to queue and got seated on low slung red velvet sofa chairs.

Left the ordering to the younger guys and for drinks my wife and I opted for Japanese green tea.

Overall all the Mille crepe were good, not too sweet and melt in the mouth with every scoop !

Parking is bearable.

Kafe Lin's@Melaka.

 Six months ago, we had only cendol@ Kafe Lin's with a Melaka friend, Ruby, who swears
it was one of the best, around.

That time we did not get to try their authentic Peranakan mixed dishes ala mixed rice dishes style
because we were full from a great meal of mee rebus near Ujong Pasir.

This weekend, we arrived famished there at about 1:45pm after a hot and sweaty tour of Jonker Street and it's surrounding attractions.

All in we picked about eight dishes rich and spicy, all done Peranakan style.


The food is delicious and authentically cooked the way my mum used to cook for me.


 Parking is ample.

Fried chicken marinated with tumeric -crispy skin and tender and meaty.

Petai with onion and anchovies in hot and spicy sambal chillies paste.

Sea prawns/Squid sambal belacan chillies.

Assam Senangin chunks with ladyfngers and brinjal.

Stir fried sliced bitter  gourd with eggs.

Pongteh Chicken-just odd parts left, nevertheless the gravy goes well with rice.

Stir fried Spinach topped with deep fried shallots.

Fried eggs.

Cendol with kidney beans, gula Melaka, coconut milk......just nice and fragrant.

 

A great meal.

Enak Rasa Ikan Bakar No:4&5@Terapong.

There are just too many Medan Ikan places in Melaka, streching from Ujong Pasir 
to Umbai.

We were spoiled for choices.

As it is a Puasa month, many Muslims break their fast here with a healthy meal
of grilled fish and other assorted seafood, otak2, nasi lemak....etc

As most of the popular Medan Ikan Bakar were crowded with diners, we drove
further inwards and opted for Perkampongan Ikan Bakar Terapong@Umbai Baru.

It is a much quieter and laid back, and is a 2 storey concrete building built along the shoreline,
with a big parking area.

A plump lady ushered us to her family run grilled seafood stalls at No 4&5.

There is quite a good selection of fresh seafood and fragrant yellow coconuts are available at their
drinks stall.

We had grilled fillet jenahak, sea prawns, lala, squid, otak2, nasi lemak and a mixed vegetables.

Overall the food was not too bad and reasonably priced 

Parking is ample.  

While waiting for the main dishes, we had fragrant nasi lemak bungkus with a dollop of spicy sambal chillies @Rm0.70/ and grilled otak2 @Rm0.70.

Assorted shells dishes @ Backlane@Jalan Bunga Raya@Melaka.

Been wanting to eat here for a long, long time.

With the company of family members who loves to eat and game for anything nice and lots of free time to savor all the delicious food in our two day's trip to Melaka.

We reached there earlier to beat the maddening crowds.

Parked our cars in front of Madam King, along Jalan Bunga Raya and walked to the back lane for
this assorted sea shells dishes, tofu, ladyfinger, century eggs, rojak, grilled tofu/beancurd sheets and kangkung/cuttlefish...etc dinner.

Got ourselves seated on small wooden stools and rusty flat metal low slung tables.

Brought back memories of my younger days.

Be careful of motorcycles that whizzed along the lanes every now and then while you are eating !

The sea shell dishes was very fresh and sweet tasting and the dip sauce of sambal chillies belacan,shrimps paste, crushed peanut and squeezed lime was excellent.

Yi Poh Noodle@PJ Old Town.

I was suppose to have homemade fish paste ball and noodle for lunch at my favorite 
home run stall next to 99 Speed Mart but ended up at Yi Poh Noodle.

A new eatery from Seremban famous for their Loh Shi Fun noodle and some side orders like wanton, pork balls, chicken balls.....etc.

I ticked my order on a piece of printed order chit and was served about ten minutes later.

The Loh Shi Fun is long and smooth (tasted more like Lai Fun) tossed in a light/dark soy sauce, sesame oil and topped with minced pork, chopped spring onion and Char siew (BBQ pork) @Rm5/ and a side order of chicken balls and wantan.

Overall the noodle is good but the chicken balls need some tweaking and be careful of their red chillies dip it is extremely hot !!!

Parking is bearable.

Location: Along Jalan Pasar 1/21 and at the junction of Jalan1/10
Petaling Old Town.
