What I did @ Melaka

So what do you do when you visit Melaka again after 13yrs?

I ate ALOT...

Upon stepping into Doris auntie's house, we felt that the long journey of 8 hours was all worth while. We gorge on kutupat, habeehiam, asam fish, wine + ginger soup, chilli fish the moment we hit her dining table! And she's one of a cook!

We made reservations and even a trip down to select our dishes 1 day before our "group" dinner @ Aunty Lee. Jon-boy said that as compared to other Perenakan restautnts in Melaka, the food is pretty good. But be prepared of the unwritten "rules" - the cook will determine the size of the dishes; ayam bulaek is in the menu BUT even if you order in advance, and if they dont serve it to you on that day, it means that they do not have enough manpower to prepare the dish; the cook will fiinsh serving 1 table before preapring the next table order - this is pretty ok, as it means that all your dishes will be served out promptly; reservations is a MUST! Total bill - SGD 100 for 8 pax - super worth it as the food is fresh and sedap!

I visited the famous Jonker Walk ...

A weekend pasar malam which sells pretty much the same things stall after stalls. And they do have quite a number of cool chill out bars /cafes in the alley. Gonna check them out on my next trip.

I paid my respect to Uncle Johnny & got to know my cousins better...

I had a quick (cousin-ly) chat with Daphne and she shared with me that she's starting a new job the following week but has yet to tell Doris auntie *a small secret between us* Also, I cant wait to attend Jon-boy and Linah's wedding next year!! Linah is a very nice girl and I really feel the happiness for them.

All in all, I had a good time there and is looking forward to my next trip up!
