Malacca Walk Trip: Dinner

#1 Restoran Nancy's Kitchen, Jalan Hang Lekir

Back in Uni, I made a few assignments and exposed to Malacca foods to certain extents but I never dine in a Nyonya style restaurant although I went to Malacca for three times! Thank goodness, during my fourth visit to Malacca I was able to drop by to Nancy Kitchen to try on Nyonya delicacies.

Popiah RM3

Malacca popiah for sure you won't missed up fried lard inside the filling! Very pork-y taste. Hehe.

Pork Pongteh RM12, Hee Piau Soup RM10, Rice RM1.50 & Chinese Tea

two of us shared the above dinner since we weren't that hungry~

Crowds started to come in after we had our dinner. That's why early bird catches the worm!

Hang Lekir street

# 2 Ban Lee Siang Satay Celup

We asked for direction from our hostel owner and went venturing using a map given. We started our walking journey around 5pm to avoid crowds but who knows there was no queue again. Really out of our expectation! Perhaps some places are overrated by tourists? There were two Restoran Ban Lee Siang, both claiming themselves as authentic one. We went to the one less furnished and listened to one of the staff/owner that both restaurants were different and operated individually. We never knew whether we went to the real Ban Lee Siang but for sure we went to the one next to those most people going one.

Nevertheless, we enjoyed our light dinner very much since we were not local Malaccan and we hardly differentiate well good satay celup. Make sense?

70 cents per stick

the satay sauce were spicy!!!

# 3 Restoran Sin Yin Hoe, Lorong Hang Jebat 

Dropped by this eatery place that famous in Fried Oyster Omelette. Surprisingly there was no queue and crowds at all during my visit. Is it not more famous liao?

Fried Oyster Omelette

it was good and I pretty like it. Although different with those Kuching style O-Jian, this one tasted very nice and really worth a try!

Fried Hokkien Mee

we order this to compliment with our oyster omelette since merely omelette sounds dry and not happening enough for a dinner huh?!

Malacca Walk Trip: Breakfast

Thinking of where to head for breakfast at the heritage town of Malacca? Simply walk around and I believe you can easily find any delicacies nearby Jonker Street!

#1 Low Yong Moh Restaurant Dim Sum, Jalan Tukang Emas

Open as early as 6am, this place offers a wide selection and most importantly it is a very reasonably priced dim sum place. We only managed to tried a few type of dim sums to save our tummy tank for other foods.

Light dim sum breakfast for 2 person...around RM15 

was surprised to see the coffee bag dipped in the coffee...cause never saw coffee bag in Kuching before...

#2 Calanthe Art Cafe, Jalan Hang Kasturi

Craving for coffee to wake up your day? 

The only cafe that serves 13 States' Coffee in Malacca

Penang Coffee...Superb black looked coffee roasted with Robusta beans.

very kao!

Sarawak Coffee...50% of Robusta beans & 50% of sugar, margarine & wheat flour

No margarine and wheat flour taste gei?

Both small cups of  those speciality coffee priced at around RM4.50 each, inclusive taxes.

#3 Chung Hwa Coffee Shop

1/4 Hainan Steamed Chicken (RM16) with 5 pieces of Chicken Rice Ball (40cents each)...total RM18!

I prefer the steamed chicken eaten with loose chicken rice rather than rice ball...too bad Chung Hwa Coffee Shop serves only chicken rice ball...Upon seated you are served with one set of steamed chicken with rice ball...you doesn't need to worry what to eat cause you have no choice at all.. but still crowds out there are overwhelming! To avoid the crowds, it is highly advisable to go during the morning time, around 9.30am.

#4 Jonker 88, Jonker Street

One of the most common and famous shop in the street. Great place for one bowl of hot Laksa and icy Cendol.

Nyonya Asam Laksa RM7 with Cendol Ice RM4....

love the beancurd and tauhu pok dipping in the laksa gravy!

天择律 1: 被同事出卖，是合乎天择律的

Hope that I could finish reading the journal  < 上班族必懂的 OFFICE 天择定律 > given by a friend 2 years ago by this year. 

Here it goes: Meaningful law adapted version from Chapter 1 =)

天择律 1 被同事出卖，是合乎天择律的

• 说闲话要慎选地点，严防隔墙有耳。{bio carefully right, left, up and down before you complain on your work!!}

• 老实说，对同事抒发工作郁闷，或是发主管牢骚在人际相处上也是不妥的做法。毕竟同事间的互动，应该是彼此勉励打气，而不是情绪化地攻击他人，否则很容易变成连锁反应。

• 有些人和你聊天时其实只是随口附和，只有你傻傻地以为你们站在同一阵线，最后不被出卖真是上辈子烧好香来的。{super agree...never believe 100% on your colleagues!}

• 就算大家感情再好，大难临头还是各自飞啊！{...like like...}

• 实际上，人非圣贤，主管和老板也是人，不要凡事都以高标准和偏差观来批判他们。他们也希望你能当面提出意见，让彼此得到最好的工作环境和协调，而不是用一堆闲话把和谐气氛搞坏.

• 主观的认定和批评会得到最坏的结果。{so deep, must learn to practice!}

• 遇到危险时扔下朋友的人不是好人。

My 2013

Happy Horse Year! This is a super delayed post, thus I guess I'll just make a superb brief one and go on with My 2014!

Nevertheless, all in all, my 2013 was a peaceful one. I actually stepped into real working society for 1 year plus, stayed in the same company, welcomed my super cutie niece Lynelle, voted in Election Day, be the first ever bridesmaid in my life and made one of the most and perhaps the only decision in my life. 

I do hope more and prosperous opportunities will come ahead. Happy Horse Year 2014!
