Can add Tiong Hwa Hainan Chicken Rice 中華茶樓 (same from research)

I will recommend Nanyang Chicken Rice Ball.

perhaps SG chicken rice still comparatively better
but that's for another discussion/debate

How about overall taste? Prefer tasty chicken and chili.

I think in terms of chicken tenderness, SG ones still superior.
The rice and chilli can fight with SG ones.

Ate there twice for my last 2 trips there.

SG one also not all good.
I usually don't eat chicken rice in Malaysia but this time my wife want to experience the rice ball.

I mostly book in advance. Even from Melaka to KL.
I'm not going Larkin so better to start from Sg.

After I read your post and went to check my emails, there's one from EasyBook. Eerie

Maybe coz I wanted to post my own experiences of getting physical tickets for my MLK>KUL, KUL>MLK, and RWG>MLK. I either bought when I reached MLK from SG, or KUL from MLK, and for RWG I traveled over in their shuttle bus. Melaka Sentral's quite near, so I didn't mind taking Grab to look-see buy-eat too. As for Larkin, never tried other than going there for a visit out of curiosity and makan-hunting.

I book coach and train ticket all in advance. Easier for me to plan my trip.
I just grab to Melaka Sentral, show my booking at the ticket counter, collect and go to the bus lane. Very easy and fast. I don't like going to bus terminal and look blur, don't know which bus to take, or which counter to go.

Go Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) even more blur, so many people there.

Oh, it's quite easy for me back then at Melaka Sentral, when I'd to drop by KUL for a quick errand. I looked for familiar brands with VVIP seats and landed with KKKL. TBS was quite deserted when I got there, so just headed to KKKL counter to get the return tix.

Not so many birdies heading across the causeway back then, I guess

Now should be quite different.
