I went back to my kampung (hometown), Sg Lembing on Mar 28, 2007 to pay respect and honor my ancestors on Mar 29, 3008. This year Qingming Festival (All Souls Day)actual date falls on April 5, 2008 but my brother decided to do it earlier to avoid the traffic jam and crowd on the actual day.

If you want o know more about Sg. Lembing, there is an article at the Sunday Star today titled : Enchanting Sungei Lembing.


When I am back to Sg Lembing, I will never miss to eat some of the famous local foods. The new food court is ready and all the stalls have back there.

The answer to the picture I last posted is:

I got to know about this shop through Masak Masak Blog and Foot Prints Blog. It was well recommended. Since my son like to eat wan tan mee, we checked it out and see how good is it.

When we were there at around 11pm, the pace was almost empty. Maybe, this is the time that is less crowded. The shop was operated by a lady.

We ordered the dry wan tan mee, one normal and one spicy.

While KL has the Eye on Malaysia at the Lake Titiwangsa, Malacca has a smaller version of it. It is located at the Melaka River Private Park.

While Chicken Rice Balls,& Satay Celup are must try while in Malacca, Nyonya Cedul and Nyonya Assam Laksa/Baba Laksa are also must try.

They are so many Cendul Shops along Jonker Walk and I read from floggers that Jonker 88 - The Museam Cafe and The No 1 Kopitiam are the best.

I tried the Jonker 88 shop and this seems to be very popular with long queue. I came here around 11.30am and my intention is try the nyonya cendul. Too full for the Nyonya Assam Laksa.

For breakfast the next day after check out from hotel, I was looking for some fish balls noodles shop and wanted to try this one but it was not opened until 10.30am.

I asked the sundry shop owner next door, he told me that there is another one just opposite an Italian Cake Shop and Melaka Raya Complex. This shop is famous for its Yong Peng Fish Ball Noodles. I had eaten here few years back when I had a stopover here.

It was drizzling from 8pm onwards and we had to take a cab back to hotel which costs us RM5.00 for a short trip from the Maritime Museum to Hotel. We rested for 2 hours and head out to drive around Malacca Town. I had wanted to try the Capitol Satay Celup for supper but it was damn packed so we decided not to as it may be long wait.

So I went to Newton Hawker Centre to see what are available at the local food court. Well, it is very similar stuffs like those in KL/PJ.
