Xiang Ji Satay House.

Guest post by Michelle.

On our way back from our Singapore's Sales shopping, we made a detour into Melaka city for our lunch.

With my grandmother, a true Nyonya from Melaka with us on this trip, was a blessing because she knows where to go for good food.

She suggested Pork Satay and guessed what ! she directed us all the way to the shop (a walking GPS !).
Not bad for an 80 year old grandmother-we just love her.

Xiang Ji Satay House@ Melaka is located opposite a Chinese school.

Patiently grilling the satay to perfection and replenishing our table with it without a need to do any ordering.

Well marinated pork satay @ 0.60cts/stick with a sweet, sourish, spicy, nutty and aromatic gravy with hints of pineapple and tamarind flavor for dip.

Close up of grilled pig's intestine, liver and lean meat-the five of us ate about 80 sticks-it was more than enough!

Freshly sliced green refreshing cucumber and pungent big onion to cool off the heaty satay.

...........................and Ketupat -firm, white rice, to finish off the meal !

Location: near Jonker Street, opposite SRJK (C) Pay Teck.

Singapore Laksa.

Everyone in the family requested for this Peranakan dish called Singapore Laksa from my mother and my wife as it has been quite sometime since we last savored it.

The dish is simple but tedious to make.

The prawn stock soup gravy for the laksa is the most essential as it's what make the dish!

Boiled shrimps and cut into half.

Homemade Fish paste-steamed and cut into matchstick sizes.

Blanched Beansprout-colander and leave aside.

Skinned the cucumber and cut into matchsticks sizes.

Daun Kesum (Lat lui / Laksa leaves/Polygonum) chopped it up coarsely.

Yellow noodle.

Thick White rice flour vermicelli.

Filled up a bowl with the noodle of your choice and add in the various ingredients.

Laksa soup gravy-filled with coconut milk, blended dried red chillies, candlenut, turmeric, shrimp paste, shallot. garlic, lengkuas (galangkal)-red, rich, creamy, spicy and cholesterol laden.

Poured the thick Laksa soup gravy over it and it's ready to be serve-Heavenly!.
