Many of my blog friends want to know what I had in Malacca. Some of them are from Malacca or nearby town. I hope they can share some of their favorites foods so that next time I can try.
For this trip, I did some researched at Floggers Sites as I would like to try some of the best foods available in Malacca. I found out that most of them recommended the famous Chicken Rice Balls, Satay Celup or "Satay Steamboat", Durian Cendol, WanTan Mee, Nyoya Assam Laksa, Teochew foods & Nyoya Foods.
Well, I actually have only about 12 hours to spend in Malacca and there are so many good foods to try. I plan my time to try as many as possible. So I decided to have dinner followed by supper on Day 1. Next day, we had breakfast, brunch, dessert and lunch before I head back to KL @ 3.00pm. In between, we explored Jonker Street.
1) Chicken Rice Balls
This is a definite must try dish when you are in Malacca. In fact I start looking for Chung Wah checken Rice Balls or Hoe Kee Chicken Rice Balls on the 1st day after I visited the historical sites near my hotel. I walked to Jonker Street which is not to far away.
Unfortunately, both this shops already closed and not open for night business. A local told me that they will closed when their foods are sold out and told me that Chung Wah is the Original One. Since I have in mind to eat this chicken rice balls, I could not resist not having it and I found one that was open for dinner.

You have to share table due to limited tables. Just tell the attendant the total number of people eating, and you’ll be served. Unless requested otherwise, each table is served with 5 rice balls per individual, and a plate of white chicken to be shared

The Chicken here is really smooth and tender. Cooked just to the right texture and taste yummylicious. No wonder it is regarded as the best in Malacca.
This rice ball is smooth and solid.
The other famous one is Hoe Kee Chicken Rice Balls. You can see a long queue waiting to be sitted. We dont have the time to try this one. A must try when I next visit Malacca.
