As you can see from my previous post, you would have thought that I gobbled down everything I saw which was edible. I am ashamed to say that as far as I'd like to deny it, it's true. But I'm even more ashamed to say that whatever I gobbled, I discharged it out of my system almost immediately.

Food poisoning lah what else. I don't get it. Whatever I ate, my family ate as well. But only I had to suffer by emitting the 'poison' through the mouth and butt. Eeeew :( My dad joked by saying that I didn't pray hard enough before I ate.

Anyway, back to the story. My dad found this article in The Star newspaper written by someone who travelled to Malacca for a day trip solely to eat. We decided to follow wherever the writer went because she has already provided the addresses in the article so why go through all the hassle when we already have a guide? Thank God for my uncle's GPS or else we would have spent the entire day just searching for one place to eat. (Knowing my father's sense of direction)

At Jonker Street.

Pretending to like this place...

...because our first stop happen to be at this chicken rice ball shop which totally sucked. The rice was cold so this is one place you should not dine at the next time you visit Malacca. We wanted to choose another shop but it was very crowded so we landed ourselves in this one instead. Furthermore, we were already starving so we just went eeny meeny miny mo. Oh and FYI, this was not one of the places listed in the article.

When my dad told us we were gonna stay here, I flipped and fainted at the spot.
"Nooo! What do you mean we're gonna stay here? I'd rather sleep in the car!"
Okay, that didn't happen. Heh.

After that horrible chicken rice ball experience, we walked around to hunt for some cendol. We were this close to walking into a cendol shop when suddenly a man selling kacang near that shop stopped us and told us to go to another shop further down the street.

We wondered if he was hired by that other cendol shop. Hehe.

Whatever it is, he did not recommend wrongly because...

the cendol is to die for!! Best.cendol.ever.

It is so delicious and the gula melaka is too amazing. Yummay! If I visit Malacca again, I'll make sure that everybody go back to this place. This was definitely the highlight of the food excursion. Plus, the price is so cheap for a bowl. :)

Apart from that, this place also serves laksa noodles. I had the assam laksa noodle and I must say that the taste is interestingly different from what we have back here.

The many varieties of cendol!

Then we stopped by Old Nanyang or something like that for coffee and dessert.

Super extra large pineapple tart!

Mini shoes used for women with bound feet.

After that we went to Christ Church to walk around. We walked a LOT that day.

Then Dad suggested that we go to the museum. I was pretty against it at first but since we had nothing better to do, I don't see why we shouldn't enter.

Parameswara.

Historic bullets/musket balls, shaped like rabbit poo. Hehe.

I think I can conclude that I'm not a person who enjoys history much because when I was in the museum I wasn't very fascinated with reading the facts and history. Besides, gimme a break. Haven't we learnt enough during secondary school? So, instead, I ended up doing..

Bow and Arrow!

Headed to the hotel to check-in, shower then out for dinner at the Portuguese Settlement. We got quite lost searching for that place despite having the GPS.

There's really nothing much to shout about this place. It's too overrated.

Next we went for satay celup. My mum suspects that the culprit to my food poisoning was because of this.

Said culprit.

Day Two started off with some light brekkie at the hotel. Then, we went to hunt for the Kuay Teow Th'ng in the article mentioned by the writer.

Followed the article and our next stop was at a house at Jalan Tengkera famous for its homemade Nyonya kuihs.

At some random shop.

One of a kind pork satay which you can never find in KL.

Second round of chicken rice ball because the first round wasn't satisfying.

This round was better so I wasn't pretending to like the shop. Hehe.

We then did some window shopping at the local mall called Megamall or something like that. It was situated near Mahkota Parade.

Walked out of that place and found an ancient fort nearby.

Santiago Fort. (If I'm not mistaken)

Before we headed back home, we decided to go for another round of makan.

Oh Chien / Omelette Oyster.

Soft Shell Crab.

Fried noodles with oysters.

The adults wanted to hunt for more cendol before really heading back to KL. At that time, my tummy was already feeling uneasy but I just kept quiet about it because I didn't wanna use the toilets there. Those shoplots looked really old and dirty. But then I couldn't take it anymore so I told my mum. My parents were so nice to drive me to Equatorial Hotel just to do my business! Hahah.

While waiting for me to finish. Haha. (Okay, too much information)

There are two main reasons I don't feel so guilty for chowing down those food without a care on what damage it might do to make me grow horizontally. Firstly, because we walked a lot so we've probably burned some calories we just consumed. Hehe. Secondly, well, because I almost threw everything up. Hahahah. I feel like a bulimic, except that I didn't do it on purpose!

That's all. Besides the puking and all, the trip was good! :)
