My college friends came visiting me on the first day of Hari Raya. It was quite some time we did not meet each other due to work commitment. Ching drove all the way from KL, with Swei and Lijun to meet me. I’m glad that they took some time to visit me in Melaka.
Basically, this was our makan makan and chit chat time. They reached Melaka quite early, about 9am something. I picked them up at Jusco and brought them for breakfast. I brought them to Yong Mao Coffee Shop for dim sum breakfast, as Swei and Lijun have yet try the dim sum here before. Of course i recommended them the glutinous rice wrapped with “he ye” or we called it “he ye fan”. ^_^
After that i wanted to take them to ride the Taming Sari Tower beside Dataran Pahlawan. But it was closed due to public holiday. What a stupid thing i think because there were more tourists would wanna take this ride due to public holiday! Then, i brought them to have a coffee at Good Morning Vietnam. Yes….i simply love the ice coffee there.
More varieties of menu compared to last time, such as cupcakes. But i was dissappointed as there was no cupcake on that day.
Nee told me that the cupcakes here not bad especially the chocolate cupcakes. I purposely come here for ice coffee and cupcakes.
The vietnam ice coffee. One of the best ice coffee in town. At least suits my taste lah. Hehe
Ice blended dragon fruit. What can i say? It is pure real dragon fruits, not artificial flavouring kind, with water or ice. But i think it would taste better if some milk added on. I’m still missing the mango juice from Vietnam Kitchen at One Utama. It is really pure mango juice with no water added. So concetrated. hehe
Mango and coconut pudding as replacement for cupcakes. One scoop of vanilla ice cream is topped at the pudding.
We sit down and talked and talked for about two hours. I shared my Bangkok trip experience and photos i took with Swei and Ching as they are going in couple of weeks.
After that we went to have light lunch. I brought them to New Newton Foodcourt near Plaza Mahkota. Ching once passedby here and comment that the ambiance here is quite good. So, just brought them to local foodcourt to have some local food.
Here are what we have….
One of the most famous popiah in Melaka. What make it so famous? The pork lards!!! haha
Taiwan style chee cheong fan. Different with HK style chee cheong fan. Here, they put curry and dark tomato sauce to the chee cheong fan and it is very little. Besides, there is minced pork wrapped inside the chee cheong fan other than normal prawns.
“Lei cha” biscuits. I don’t even know got such thing here. This is ordered by my fellow college friends.
Thin layer of the biscuits. At first i thought it is crunchy, but it is not. Quite lembik lembik one. But it does have fragrant of the lei cha. But the taste of the lei cha is not strong enough for those love lei cha, like me.
Squid satay. My first attempt. How embarassing hor!!?? But i still prefer pork satay lah. Hehe…
Lastly, my friends ordered fried oyster after seeing lots of people ordering. But it was really really bad and i really wonder why so much people ordering. I think this is the worst fried oyster in Melaka. I don’t even bother to take the photo.
Very full… let’s go for drinks and more chit chat session. Next, Nadeje Patisserie Cafe.
Rum raisin and original mille crepes.
Cheese and strawberry mille crepes.
My favourite among four… ranking is as follows:
1. rum raisin
2. original
3. cheese
4. strawberry
Long black coffee, only about RM2 or RM3 for every each mille crepe ordered. Not mine as i’m definitely do not favour dark or bitter taste coffee. :-S
Tea, also at about Rm2 or RM3 for every each mille crepe ordered. Nah, this is mine, tea lover!
Forgot the name of this drink. Ordered by Lijun, who likes trying different thing. But she told me no taste one, like mineral water. Haha.
This tea time costs us more than RM60, for 4 pieces of mille crepe and drinks. Of course we sit down more than 2 hours here, if not how to recover the RM60? Typical auditor/accountant!!
After that, we have a shopping session at Dataran Pahlawan. Lijun bought the most and we really wondered why she could spent so much in PDI Concept Store Melaka, but not in KL. I believe KL PDI Concept Store has more varieties and choices compare to Melaka loh. I bought one stylish sandals at 20% off.
Swei and Ching bought nothing as they were saving for Bangkok shopping spree!! hahaha.
After the shopping, it’s our dinner time before my friends headed back to KL.
Dinner at the following post….
