"There's something about a holiday that isn't not about how much money you spent. Holiday is a good opportunity to focus on bringing the family together".
PS : There are 2 satay celup shops here (side by side) that share 99% resemblance on the name. As per introduced by Alan who is a pure local in Malacca, above place that we went is much preferred by locals. The name of the shop is Ban Lee Siang Satay Celup, the signboard colour is light yellow and the icon of this place is the laughing buddha.
I had spoken to a staff here who told me that Ban Lee Siang was left behind by his eldest brother( they had 14 siblings and this staff is one of the younger ones) and took over by his older brothers. Due to money issues, one of the brother opened up another shop with the same name right beside the original one. This light yellow signboard is the original one.
Jonker Night Market
And here comes our damages ...
Here are our small damages as all kueh lasts one day and the bak chang lasts 7days in freezer.
Here is Malacca, I think I can skip everywhere but never Klebang Nasi Lemak
Boss and BF each had 3 packets of nasi lemak while the rest had 2! Small packet that can finished within few mouths but it is very tasty!
Another to-die-for... The coconut vanilla shake.
Again, the weather is really very very hot. This round, we came to Old Town Coffee to hide from the harsh sun.
Address:Jalan Merdeka, Taman Costa Mahkota, 75000 Melaka, Malaysia
We felt that the food are not bad and we are very puzzled on the long queues.
For sure, Malacca do have tastier nonya restaurants here. I look forward to try other restaurant on my next visit.
Next stop, we went to packet our supper, it seems that most of us are not satisfied from our dinner. Alan brought us to a local char kway teow stall here that open only at night, another queueing game. But it is well-worth as the uncle fry it upon each order. The catalyst of this is - pork lard and pork oil!
The shop also serves noodles, rice, cake and kueh, and these are our lunch. And we ordered the signature elephant coffee.
We are stucked in the traffic jam for near 2hrs but it never dampen our mood.. a wefie for us again!
Our last food trip was six months ago, today we are going for another trip again with another new member of the family.
Welcome member number 7 - Troels who is a Dane, he is currently dating Pig and the relationship is as stable as a solid rock that nothing in this earth can tear them apart!
This round, we are leaving in the afternoon of a hot Friday so you can tell that this trip is pretty tight for us... Make the time to the fullest is the moto of this trip!
Except for 2 restaurants where we repeated our visit this round, the rest are thoroughly our first visit. This trip is totally full of loads FUNssss and tons YUMssss.
Again, Alan is engaged to be our driver, for 3 days full service, it cost SGD650 and divided by 7 of us, per person is SGD92 for full 3 days 2 nights service, driving us around (ps: Van is sponsored by 2 big boys). And he will come to Singapore to pick us and drop us back.
He is very reliable and trustworthy man who loves his family very much. A committed family man is always a good man. We felt so comfortable with him.
Interested - WhatsApp him +604-14-379-4174
It was close to 4.30pm when we reached Malacca finally...

| This notice is telling people that this shop is not related with the shop next door. |
Here is the accommodation for the next 2 nights. Though it is 20 minutes walk away from Jonker Street, but it is mere 5 minutes drive away. We have Alan so there is nothing to worry about.
The most important factor of this place is the toilets... each room comes with a toilet... this is very important for us.

The longest dough fritter in Malacca. It was started by a grandmother and now handed over to daughter in law and grandson... Another legend that gone through 3 generations.
According to the local there, the taste and texture today is like before. Everything here is purely 100% handmade. They prepare the food on the spot, fried on the spot, sell on the spot and you eat on the spot if you can handle the pipping hot!
Whilst stock lasts, it open from 8pm onwards and common to see snakey queues.

Address: 72, Lorong Tengkera Pantai 2c, Kampung Tengkera Pantai Dua, 75200 Melaka, Malaysia
We regretted that we bought less on the last trip so now this is a must visit place for us again. Do note that all kuih are hand-made without any preservatives therefore it must eaten by the very day.
If you want a good variety, be at the shop before 10am latest! Then you beat the crowd and the kuehs are all there. Their kuihs are awesome. Ang Koo Kueh is best in the world. Ondeh ondeh bursts and melts in your mouth. The Nonya Chang is beautiful and delicious.
Here are our small damages as all kueh lasts one day and the bak chang lasts 7days in freezer.

Address: C610, Jalan Malim Malacca City 75260

Inside the façade of this place lies a yummy dim sum restaurant. Very old school feel but the interior is very cozy and clean with super huge varieties of dim sum to choose from!
This place is located next to a huge Chinese graveyard. By the way, the toilet is also very old school. I am glad that Prince and Troels has a taste of "Kampung" life for a couple of hours.

There is no toilet in the restaurant, as this is an old school place, the toilet is also old school type. In the old days, the toilets are built outside of the house.
Time to check out and say good bye to Malacca. We each came in half bag and now we leave this place with countless bags!!!!
We are heading Muar now!
Just 40 minutes away, it is another awesome place where we must visit.
