Melaka weekend food, food and food

Whenever we are in Melaka, apart from our family matters, the next most important is food!!! So, this article is about the various places that we normally go. The first is actually a small coffee shop along Lorong Bukit China. This place is very near to where my my dad's family used to live.

The shop is at the bend.

It does not have any name.

The shop has only a few stalls but the food is simple and good.

The lady doing the noodles.

The stall selling the wan tan noodles is done the southern way. You can have it without the black soya sauce and add your own chilli sauce as much as you like. Some how the taste is "shiok".

With the black sauce...also good.

Without the black sauce but lots of chilli sauce...yummy.

Another stall sells "curry rice" Chinese style. Simple and satisfying.

Yummy curry rice with pork bone curry and sambal.

They also sell the crispy fried fish cake, fish ball, prawn cake, etc. In Singapore, they call this "ngoh heng". You eat this with the "lobak" kind of sauce and chilli sauce.

Fish cake, fish ball and prawn cakes.

We went there during lunch and some of the stalls were already closed. You can also get mee siam, curry laksa, packed nasi lemak and pan mee.

This is not a "to die" for place but the food is good and cheap and it hits the spot.

All gone....satisfied.

For breakfast, the children wanted chicken rice ball. We normally go to 3 places only depending on the time of the day (due to the crowd). This time we went to the Ee Ji Ban shop in Melaka Raya. The food here is not that great but OK. The good thing, it is not crowded in the morning and easy to park.

Large sign to attract tourists.

Signage at the side.

Front counter. They have other dishes too.

We were hungry and again forgot to take pictures until almost finished.

The rice ball is getting smaller and smaller.

Traditional steamed chicken.

I felt that the prices of the chicken rice ball is getting too expensive. At RM 0.30 per ball the size of a "guli" or large marble is too high. Basically, this dish now only caters to the tourists for the novelty of the rice ball.

Not too satisfied, we "ta pau" some noodles to be shared. This noodles come form Second Sister Noodle Shop which is located in front of the Henry Gurney School.

The sell fishball noodles with pork and some yong tau fu. The noodles are simple but nice. The fishballs are fresh and tasty. Again simple and hits the spot.

Yummy noodles.

Good fish cakes.

Remembered to take before all gone.

One other important thing to eat is of course Nonya kuih. I practically give up buying this in KL as it is never done right. My mom went to Heeren street to get this (next to Jonker Street).

Colorful Nonya kuih.

Fantastic apam balik with durian.

I must say the kuih form this shop is really good and cheap too. They also sell Nonya chang. Well so much for this short trip balik kampung.

Until the next time, cheers.
