Trip Day 5: Malacca to JB then back home sweet home, SGP!

Started the day with wonton mee just minutes away from our motel. Wanna verify if wonton mee in malacca is indeed that bad. Nope i shouldn't use the word bad, just not up to Hong Kong Wonton mee standard. Some Singapore ones are even much better!

Random Wonton Mee no.2

Apparently nth fantastic about them. U can get at any hawker center or coffeeshop some with better standard in Singapore. Wonton is small and nth special, noodle is over cooked to my preference, char siew is pretty dry and no effort in sauce.

Located: Just across the road from our motel: Hotel Seven

Hotel 7 @ RM118 1 night for 3 pax ;) a real bargain!

Walking down Jonker Street you will come across many shops selling stuff targeting tourist.

But we are only naturally attracted to food :) Pretty good onde onde...

Chung Wah Restaurant (中华茶室)Went down straight to chicken rice after wonton mee. The queue is unreasonably long and the food is not worth the queue.


Over cooked chicken, cold rice, nth special about the chili sauce and nth special about the sauce for the chicken. Very bad attitude "floor manager". I supposed they have the queue because they refuse to let customer in even though there are so much empty table.

Address:
18, Jalan Hang Jebat,
75200 Melaka.

Walking down jonker street sightseeing then we stop by a local speciality stall. Smells nice freshly baked but didn't buy anything.

The Museum Cafe

Walk further down to a shop selling the famous Assam laksa and chendol all in one shop. Not some fancy restaurant just a shop space with different stalls, think coffeeshop in Singapore.

The Assam laksa is good but not good enough to come all the way here just for the laksa. Very disappointed they use canned tuna as the fish in the laksa instead of common found fish in the region like batang fish.

Not your usual noodle.


While chendol is not bad, also not worth the trip. Well since we are on our way back from KL so it's not that bad.


Address:
88 Jalan Hang Jebat (Jonker Walk)


After the meal it's time to drive down back to JB.

Took over driving to lighten our tour guide's load, drove for about 1h plus before handing over to our tour guide.

She drove us to this hai fan chun place for a seafood dinner.


Karim Restorant Orang Asli (嘉林海番村海鲜)


Garlic stir fry gong gong.
Simple saute kai lan.
Simple food nicely done. What worth mention is the salted egg yolk crab. Nice and crispy, not too heavy eggy taste. However I think it was deep fried a little over cause part of the crab is pretty dry but overall it's taste delicious.




Address:
Opening Hour:
After dinner our lovely tour guide drove us all the way to city square. Thank her and her group of friends so much for their kindness and hospitality (free lodging too :D ).

Finish our trip with a nice hot latte at starbucks because James wanna redeem the free year planner after 12 mug of Joe...

End of Trip...

HOME SWEET HOME!
