Question about Malacca

[tjiax1]

thanks. does malacca city have shop that sell korean stuff like snack or soju ?

 

[Broadwalk]

been to jonker a few times. nothing much except crowd. lolol. i tried teochew porridge buffet at bayview hotel early this year. not sure if they still have it. very reasonable given the variety, ie 40 over times to order from the menu. the quality is not bad also.
rm26 for adults... best part was senior citizens pay only half the price. i think it was rm14 or something. very reasonable.

i like those satay at hawker centers. i think can still find rm0.60 per stick. chicken pork daging... the peanut gravy is very shiok too.

I had the peranakan food, Tong Sheng, Dragon-i, Porridge house. Spent around 500 dollar on food and drinks.

o ok... must be makan all the ho liao... nice. petrol should be less than rm200?

last year, one of my buddy ask me to bring them on a makan trip and cover a few places includimg melaka. 4D3N. started from JB to b pahat to muar (1N) to melaka (2N) to kluang to jb. mostly makan and little shopping or sight seeing. thats what they wanted.

from batu pahat to melaka, we took the small roads. quite nice drive. can find those roadside stalls selling fruits like duku and durians and what not. remembered they feasted on so many durians (iirc 2 gunnysacks full of empty durian husks) for less than rm150. following day, her hubby said got a bit of sore throat. lol.

Good idea. next trio I will explore the small road. can evade the toll? any nice place in Batu pahat? I am planning to drive to Ipoh, Penang and to hai Yat. very free after retrenchment. want to go out with parents.

Was in Batu Pahat (1st time) on a day-trip last month. Was pretty impressed with a temple 三春青天宫大伯公庙, where there's a 八仙过海 on a dragon. Nice place for a stopover, though I wasn't there to pray. Short stroll round the place and ended up in the shop buying a pack of citronella balm from Penang.

(Chinese words copy-paste from Google, or you can try to google 青天宮大伯公.)

Big Batu Pahat Mall is short distance away, if you need some aircon.

Some said no need if you input your exact location in the Notes section while doing your booking, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

If you want to pick up a prepaid SIM card while you're there, Maxis Center is in Mahkota Parade Mall, very near those 2 hotels. More than enough free data even for a week's stay, for just RM10.

anyone know if there is any korean stall in malacca?

Hi guys, what are you favourite must eat food if you drive? Planning a trip soon and thinking of making reservations because they queues were horrendous the last few trips I made and alot of places were fully booked. nonya chang also cannot buy without reservations.

Peranakan: I have tried kocik and ole sayang and it was ok. I enjoyed nonya Makko much more. How does indah sayang or Amy's compare???

I really like Aunty Koh's cendol in bukit rumbai. too bad she's only open for such a short period and sells out so fast. will check out michelle's nonya chang nearby next trip. I enjoy east west rendevouz nonya chang the best so far. baba charlie and mei xin one is so so only.

Sun may hiong satay is also good! i havent tried satay celup so far because my friends are always concern about hygiene when we have to share the sauce.

Tong Sheng cheese beehoon is another must on my list.
Not a big fan of all the chicken rice so far, not any better than sg one i feel, only the novelty of the rice balls.

Any other nonya kueh or other good recommendations? I dont mind making trips further out.

 

[cc2mss5]

agree. best if u drive. can go to more places to makan. eat what the locals eat there. nicer food and much lower in prices.

eg chicken rice balls. drive to batu beremdam makan. u pay much less for a slightly better quality chicken with other dishes compared with eating it at jonker or palawan area. no kidding. shiokadooooo

bro, any shops to recommend at batu beremdam to try the chicken rice ball?

I heard rooms are not very good with yellowish water from tap. Very difficult to cross the road. Have to cross the expressway. These are what I heard.

You can stay at Hatten (wifi not strong), Equatorial, Novotel, The straits hotel and etc.

For budget, you can try Fenix inn.
