 Big Nyonya?

 Hmm...who is hiding behind Big Nyonya ah?

 I thought we are going to the sale? Makan lunch first ah?

 Seems like these chips are standard for Nyonya Restaurants in Melaka. 

 Me very guai leh...I ordered Chinese Tea for myself lh but naughty Papa ordered a small bowl of Cendol for himself.

Wei..ak aci ni...Papa already had 2 cendols this morning. Where's mine?

 Hehehe...happy already coz Papa shared his cendol with me.

Total bill comes to RM86.15  Address and telephone numbers is as per receipt. mamarazzi lazy to type out all la. LOL

Morning Stroll at Jonkers Walk

 

As we were heading to Jonkers Walk after breakfast at Baba Low, I saw something peculiar.Peculiar coz in my short life I have not seen it before la.

 A man a rod sticking out from his cheek. 

 Oh... looks like it's a Wesak Day procession. No wonder traffic was crawling here. 

When we neared Jonkers Walk. Traffic was at a stand still. Mamarazzi said let's go down and see what's up in from and me said YES!!!

Come on! Walk faster ler....

 Oh...near the Aik Cheong Coffee shop there was some kind of ceremony. Followers kneed down to have yellow color water pour over them. Must be some kind of cleansing ceremony.

I was standing near to snap clearer photos. A follower thought I wanted to go for the ceremony too coz my T-shirt was yellow. He urge me to go nearer but Mamarazzi pulled me back.

 Last few snap before the procession move on. 

Papa need to go toilet. While waiting for him,  looked at the map

 Snapped a few awesome pics. 

 Here is one odd ads.  White Coffee also have so many colors. Black White Coffee and Gold White Coffee

Ahem...anyone game for a DURIAN white coffee?

 But for me...I preferred nice nice cold cendol from Bibik House la.

 Here is what Mamarazzi managed to grab in a short time. Simply hentam Pineapple tarts that looks nice to her.

Kiasu.....saw many people buying Heong Peang and gula Melaka from a shop she also went and grabbed.

Next stop.........

Big Breakfast at Baba Low Melaka Before Big Bad Wolf Books Sale Hunting

 Seven early , eight early in the morning Mamarazzi kicked woke us up . Wanna go out makan then go Big Bad Wolf Books hunting wor.

Thanks to Mr G, we found a nice makan place. Very surprised wor coz when we arrived there only two table were occupied. This place supposed to be very famous leh. Holiday season...should be crowded , right? Must be coz we came early la.. True enough..after we finished eating ...more and more customers arrived.
 

They have Nyonya Laksa, Mee Siam, Nasi Lemak, Popiah and Pai Tee. 

Boss! Please give me one of each please!

Nasi lemak. Look small in the photo but actually a big bowl leh. Love the way they added kangkung .

 

  The rice was very very very fragrant. Full of santan aroma.

Mamarazzi had their Nyonya Laksa . Also very aromatic. They put a lot of the herbs kinda vege into it. Sedap.

 

She couldn't finish the big bowl of Nyonya Laksa and papa had to help.  A testimony of how good it was.

Pai Tee. Papa likes it. Mamarazzi too. Think they used  knife to cut the sengkuang/jicama/yam bean coz it's not thin. Very nice coz this makes the sengkuang taste nicer. Have the crunchy taste.

 

Popiah was RM3 but it was sure a very very big piece of popiah leh. They every add in coriander leaves in it. Yumss....Mamarazzi must remember to add this when she make popiah next time coz it makes a whole load of difference.

Finished Nasi Lemak and laksa but still itchy wanna have Mee siam. Taste okay la...probably coz already full liao.

As usual, Mamarazzi had Kopi O. Wah lau eh....where else can get Kopi O for just RM1.10 ah?

Papa really "terrer" leh. Early early ordered Cendol . Taste very good. Think they used gula melaka for the syrup.

Apart from that they also sell a three other types of kuih when we were there. And also homemade kaya. Can really see its homemade from the rough texture. Haven't open to eat with bread yet but sure aromatic.

One very satisfying breakfast. So many items for RM38.70 . Reasonable price.

Address : 486, Jalan Tengkera, Melaka
Tel : 06-2831762

After the BIG breakfast...still too early for BBW leh. Wokay la...detour to Jonker Street buy Pineapple tarts lo. But that one another story la. Too long already leh this post. Let you drool at the delicious food from Baba Low first la. 

 Oh ya...Big Bad Wolf Books Sale is in Trengganu now . Started from 6 May 2015 and will be there till 11 May 2015. The BIGGEST book sale in town is now at UniSZA's Gong Badak campus. Apart from Cash and cards, they also accept  BB1M vouchers.

Some more Smurf comics are selling for RM5 each! She also helped me to grab one each.Yay...looking forward o my BBW Trengannu reads.

Short Getaway - Melaka May 2015

 Last weekend went for Big Bad Wolf Books hunting a short getaway . We went to the historical city of Malacca. It was a long weekend leh. Public holiday and replacement holiday from Friday to Monday.

On Saturday noon, last minute decided to go to Malacca. Terrer leh us....didn't make any hotel reservation...straight get into the car and go off.

Heavy traffic . By the time we reached Malacca it was around 2-3pm.

 

First stop...Tangkak Beef Noodle restaurant. Had a bowl of delicious Tangkak Beef Noodle. Yea yeah...KL also have but but...maybe coz hungry la....felt it taste nicer here.

While waiting for Papa and Mamarazzi surf the net to look for accomodation, I saw people decorating a lorry for the Wesak Day Parade. Interesting,

Wah lau eh...99.9% of the hotels were fully booked but after hunting for lesser priced hotel...managed to get a room in a budget hotel . Not bad la. One night only ma.

Check in. Rested awhile before going food hunting.

First stop....Satay celup.

Wah lau eh.....think the price increased already...now 80 sen for normal sticks. Not bad la. Now price of the raw ingredients, transportation and etc had also increased ma.

 Had 6 sticks saja to lepas gian la.The gravy was good.

 Mamarazzi thought wanna try Satay Celup Capitol pulak since have not ate there for many year but aborted the mission after she saw people queueing as far as 5-6 shops away.

 We proceed to the famous Putu Piring stall in Jalan Tengkera pulak. Wow...though it's only 5pm plus but there were 30 over customers waiting.

Now they very systematic already. Customer take a number and write down how many they wanted and wait for their number to be called.

Mamarazzi like it this way

 While waiting...she can't help drooling ate the heavenly scent of the Putu Piring being steamed over high pressure.

 Bought a dozen of them and it was certainly worth the wait. Waited for one hour for these. 

Next stop. Barkat Roti John at Tanjung Kling. Me blur blur sotong already coz was feeling very very sleepy.

 Had a "kerang"(Cockles) eating competition with Papa. I claimed that I won coz I ate the most.

 Mee Bandung. Supposed to be for me but it was spicy to taste. So Papa helped me to finish it.

Mamarazzi had Nasi Goreng Kampung. Also Papa "helped" to finish. 

 

Waited for a long time for our Roti John. Finished Kerang, finished Mee Bandung and finished the fried rice.

Checked with the guy.  Dunno what happened. Maybe ours order went to other table or what. Took some time for the investigation to be done.  We decided not to wait la. Tell them to "Tapau" the Roti John instead coz Mamarazzi saw some ladies who came to tapau, got their Roti John first while we were eating. Maybe they phone in to make reservation , I don't know la.

Guess that night was an abnormal rush la. Long weekend and many tourist. Not enough staffs. Think only two persons take order and clean the tables.

Our food and drinks took a long time to arrive. Would suggest the management to consider hiring temporary staffs during peak period so that it won't tarnish the good name of the restaurant. Long time ago, Papa had ate here before and said the food and service was good.

Had Roti John as supper  in the hotel.
