Malacca #5: Cockles and Fried Oyster @Jalan Bunga Raya

Again my Malacca post is coming up, hope you all won't be bored of my countless posts on Malacca lol Back to the topic, this time we are going to a stall in an alley of Jalan Bunga Raya which is famous for the seafood such as cockles, clams, field snails, bean curd, fried fish ball, squid and etc. If you don't mind the clamped dirty place and longkang smell, this might be a good spot for seafood :) Anyway it's quite a famous spot, airing @HoChak! 8TV before. 
Anyway I don't really like the seafood there because the cockles are too raw and I really can't accept the snails *yucks* but I think it's quite cheap although I already forgot the actual price lol 

Then we proceed to another alley, also around Jalan Bunga Raya, which is famous for fried oyster omelette. Many people are lining up for it. I really highly recommend this because it's very delicious, comparable to Penang! And I really wanna crave for more after finishing up it with my friends.
The seafood stall and this fried oyster only opens after 7pm. You may give it a try when going to Malacca :) Around 15-20 minutes walk from Jonker Street :D

Behind the scene:
When we were eating halfway at the seafood stall, suddenly the strong wind blew away the advertisement board and then the light at our table suddenly shut off, followed by big stormy downpour. It really freaked us out! Then we paid the bill frantically and ran to the shop lot out of the dark alley. The rain was too heavy and we couldn't walk back to the hotel. I planned to buy an umbrella but ended up all of us bought raincoats. 

We look like murderers at rainy night huh?

-The End-

Malacca #4: Cendol

Cendol is my love! The taste of Malacca Sugar is so fragrant and intense :D Speaking about malacca sugar, it is indispensable in making local kuih-muih or desserts. Malacca sugar or gula melaka is actually made by the sap collected from the coconut tree or arenga pinnata palm. 

Have tried the cendol at Jonker street :) due to the crowd and limited capacity of the shop on the first day, we visited on another time (imagine the long queue and cramped shop). Ordered durian cendol =D The Malacca sugar used here is very concentrated but it's a little too sweet for me.


The small shop lol Be ready if you're visiting during weekend or holiday!



 The service is kinda fast and price is quite cheap :) Do give it a try when you visit Malacca.

Malacca #3: Tang House

Tang House is located at Jonker Street (right beside the event stage). It's awesome and the lovely guest house is far beyond my expectation! It's a family business, all of them are really friendly and helpful. I love there!


Overall, the guest house is very lovely, artsy and cozy. The room rates are RM35, RM55 and RM70 for single, double and triple room respectively. The outer view is amazing! The mural painting is very artistic and I wonder who painted it! It looks so familiar like the one I've seen from magazine!

Mini Tang House! So cute :D

5 of us stayed in triple room which only costs RM70 per night! The room is quite big and comfortable :) And it's really clean. However, due to limited numbers of rooms in the guest house, early reservation is required.

Breakfast is available at Rm3.60! I love the coffee and egg burger. Feel like being at home :)

Overall I really satisfied with everything provided in the guest house including the service, hospitality, environment and price! It would be my first choice if I visit Malacca and think of overnight there again!

Malacca #2: Nadeje Mille Crepe

After a little farce going on in the bus, ERHEM we actually just arrive Malacca by the time, and we are suppose to go to Jonker Street. We tell the bus driver that we wanna go Jonker Street and ask him to remind us. But he's so BAD and EVIL! He kicked us out at Mahkota Parade. So with all the luggages, BOOM here we are. Although it's out of plan, but who cares? Nadeje outlet is just near to Mahkota Parade :))

We order the original, coffee and green tea mille crepes!

First time trying Mille Crepe, after hearing all the extraordinary good comments from blogger, actually I'm kinda disappointed. Well, I guess it's simply because Mille Crepe doesn't cater me, I like the creamy part but not the wet crepe layers. After all, I guess Nadeje still makes the best Mille Crepe right? :)
But I personally recommend the green tea Mille Crepe! It's delicious! Creamy fillings between the crepes layers, with the fragrant green tea. Not bad :))

Then, my friends go again! They visit the outlet at Dataran Pahlawan. They fall in love with it and wanna crave for more! *Mille Crepe Intoxication* But too bad I didn't follow them so just can show you the photos captured by them!

Both outlets are really packed *full house* on that day. They are really famous so I can't deny the tastiness of the mille crepe ^^ For those who not yet try this, just go and try this out!

Malacca #1: Eleven Bistro Restaurant

I've been to Malacca long ago before my internship but I'm just too lazy to update my blog lol Since I'm too free now, I decide to korek all my Malacca photos and blog about it :D
Actually this trip was a last minute decision by me since I've visited Malacca for few times and I got bored of all the old historical sites, monuments and museums over there. Then I decided to join my housemates one day before the trip because the study week was too long without any exciting plans.
Thanks to my dear housemates aka tour guides of the days, we were safe (although sesat a while upon arrival) and we've visited many places, tasted a lot of delicious local delicacies (including satay celup, nyonya cuisine, portugese cuisine, the famous fried oyster cockles and Nadeje's Mille Crepe!) and and captured tonnes of nice photos <3
So so so.. my first post of Malacca trip is about this restaurant- Eleven Bistro Restaurant in Jonker Street :)
The restaurant is next to the bistro so basically the whole shop-lot is "Eleven-ed" lol it's comfortable, with some oldies decoration and dim lighting :) love the ambiance!
Appetizer: pickled papaya and vege with ikan bilis! Love this very much :D
Sambal kacang botol!
Portuguese sambal chicken
Portuguese sambal prawn
Sweet sour fish lol
Egg fu yong! :)
Frankly, the food is not bad but I prefer nyonya food :D The price is reasonable since they provide set meal with a variety of choices such as the dishes above :)
Photos from their website. I'm impressed by their webpage lol they have all the details you need in their page.
So peeps, another nice restaurant to visit if you're in Malacca :D
