A Little Weekend Gathering

 Where? Where? Where are they? Long time have not see Uncle Patrick liao

Oh wow! I have new Pepper Book!  Hmm nearly all of the Pepper book in the series liao. Just one or two more.

 Impatience to "read" .

 Ah...finally the food it here. Long wait coz it was a weekend. I love this dish. Kept asking Mamarazzi to top up the gravy for me.

 Yam basket.

 Too hungry...beh tahan...scoop first... photo later. Asparagus was young.

 Thai sauce something something pork ribs. Pity the decoration ...layu liao.

Spinach soup. Mamarazzi said eat more vegetable wor. Can "poo poo" easier.

 Errr....that means cannot eat these crunchy "noodles" ah?

 Hahaha....see the dessert? Can you guess which restaurant we went to? Have highlighted in this blog twice.

 I sure love the Guilin Gou with Honey. Yummm,...

Restaurant Sup Lembu Tangkak(Tangkak Beef Noodle) , Malacca (Revisited)

 Very fast it was Check-Out time. Easy peesy. Just returned the key cards and we are off. Wow...found this on Papa's car windscreen.

 Enjoying my big packet of keropok

 As it was lunch time, we stopped by to have some noodles. Enjoyed the Beef Noodles here very much last time.

 Our drinks. Mamarazzi's green tea and my Milo Ice.

I wanted Plain Keoy teow noodle but it seems that they don't sell it here. So Papa ordered me a Beef Ball Keoy Teow....but don't know why it came with yellow noodles instead.

 Hentam lah. I eat either one.

 The Beef Balls came in a different bowl.

Papa and Mamarazzi had the Mixed Beef Noodle. Mamarazzi opted for bihun.

Hmmm...maybe had too much breakfast already coz Mamarazzi said this round she did not managed to appreciate the Beef noodle as much as the previous time.

Here is the address if you want to try out the noodles

8C Jalan Laksamana Cheng Ho,
75000 Melaka

Bubbles Bubbles Everywhere

 After breakfast, we went back to the room. I wanted to play bubble that Mamarazzi bought for me from Jonker Street night market.

Have you seen these before? Now it's selling 10sens each. Mamarazzi said she used to play these when she was in primary school

Just squeeze a bit on to the mini "straw"

And blow

 Eee...sticky sticky leh....

 Alamak...what's happening....loosing "air". Mamarazzi tried to "save" it by sealing the "bocor" place but too late.

I wanna try blow too la.

Eh...not bad ah first time blowing.

Unexpected Prizes

A good beginning of the year for me. After a hiatus of two weeks, Mamarazzi turned on the PC and saw a surprise waiting for us.

Unexpectedly, we were one of the top 3 commenter in Diana Diane Teo's Travel & Living Journal of DT and she is giving a prize to us. Oh wow! what a surprise.

It's not just any prize. The prize is very special. Why? coz it's souvenirs that she brought back from all her travel.

See this lovely Tote Bag. It's from Bali, Indonesia.

Included also a hand painted bookmark from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Just nice for Mamarazzi. 

Small cute elephant pouch from  Phuket, Thailand, Fridge Magnet from Hong Kong and a Key chain from Bali Indonesia.

And look at this! A luggage tag and a set of Angry Bird stationery from Bangkok Thailand for me!

Ahem ahem...got a "love letter" for Mamarazzi and ME! Wow...she sure have very nice hand writing. I have to hide this "love letter" else Mamarazzi sure nag me to improve my hand writing.

 (Photo curi-ed from SK's Blog)

The second surprise is from SK blog. Mamarazzi  We were one of the top 10 Commenter in SK blog for year 2012. Unexpected lor since Mamarazzi  we only started spamming commenting there rigorously mid 2012.

What's the prize? Well...it's a personalised CD plus some "surprise" bonus tracks. Very thoughtful prize leh.  From recording to the CD up to the envelope are all handmade. Don't believe ah? Head over to this 14.01.2013 | 心意手作 post and see for yourself.

I think if possible, this SK would even hand deliver to each commenter personally leh. Since he is unable to do that, the 3K6PGGHHBC have been drowning in his enquiries whether we received our prize yet. Okay la...Mamarazzi exaggerated "a bit" la but we sure know he won't rest till everyone received their prize and that they are satisfied with their prize.

Ahem....Currently our prize are being held ransom under the safe keeping of the Pirate Queen . One of these days, must really go and collect the prize before Pirate Queen starts to charge us interest. *LOL*

Once again thank you very much to Diana and SK for the prizes.

Hmmm....wondering what next few months will bring....maybe if Mamarazzi we more "cheong Hei"(Long winded) , we might win one more luxurious stay at hotel/resort like Casa Del Rio, Melaka again? .*wishful thinking*

Tweety Bird and Big Breakfast at Casa Del Rio, Melaka

 

Lalala~ endless "swimming".  This round, I remembered to bring down my "tweety bird" float from the car.

Very early in the morning Mamarazzi woke me up said "last call" for "swimming".

Of course ler I jump out from the bed immediately changed to my swimming pants.

Brrrrrrr....super duper cold.......

 

a cold "birdie" in the water. Hmm...I wondered if it would keep me warm.

 

Got the pool to myself again

Bored playing at the "kids" pool. Explore the other side of "Infinity".

This part also have a kiddie pool but no divider to the adult pool.  Very near to the bar.

Guess the adult would enjoy swimming up to the bar at night for a drink gua.

Wow...this side is nicer. Can see the Courtyard and the river going to the sea.

Pretty soon, Mamarazzi said enough liao. Time to go makan. Yup...went to makan BIG Breakfast downstairs.

 Quite a variety of choices to choose from but Mamarazzi dare not walk around snapping photos of food there. Later bikin malu pulak.

Here is a photo that I took of Mamarazzi "Makan-ing" nasi lemak.

Papa ordered Big Breakfast from the Menu.

Mamarazzi's ordered of....errr....duno what's the name breakfast from the Menu.

Aiyo...Me ah...full full liao lor. Cannot masuk anymore.

So Mamarazzi took some cornflakes, ko-ko crunch, honey stars and etc for me to munch.

You want some? 

Close my eyes...eeny-minny-miney-moe......which is it? Is it stars?

Turned on my Jedi mode coz don't wanna see Papa coz kena scolding from Papa. I accidentally knock over my glass of fresh orange juice...

Yup...did I say fresh orange juice? Yes I did and they really used fresh orange to juice it. Not pour from those prepacked containers. They have freshly juice Tomato juice, honeydew and watermelon juice too.

Mamarazzi got a glass of milk for me to drink but it turned out to be Soya Milk.Someone put it at the wrong label. Oppsie.


Mmm....nice nice breakfast...

To Infinity and Umbai!

After exploring the room, of course ler time to go To Infinity and ...swimming!

 Yup...Casa Del Rio Melaka have a swimming pool called the Infinity Pool.

 

Why Infinity Pool?Well....errr....no need to explain gua. Only kids pool have boundary. The adult side seems to stretch to infinity.

 Great view of the river.

 Can see Menara Taming Sari and the big big ship from the pool.

 Great pool side service too. Complimentary drinks.

Evening time.....time to hunt for fish...oppss...food.

Growing very "tall" liao.....gonna need more than 3 seats if I were to sleep comfortably...

Last round we went to Umbai too but at another part. This round we went to  Perkampungan Ikan Bakar Terapung , Umbai, Melaka

Sleeeppy...why so fast arrived  geh....I haven;t have enough of my beauty sleep yet leh.

Stir fried kangkung RM6. A bit salty but just nice if eat with rice.

Fried Sotong(Squid). Based on seasonal price. This plate costed us RM12.06. Yummy.

Papa had Kerang(Clam?)...Alamak..portion so big though asked for small portion.  Big, sweet and fresh. RM8

Mamarazzi actually wanted Kepah(mussel?) but ter-ordered Lala( smaller type of Mussel). This one was RM12.

She did not enjoy it much coz some of the Lala still have a bit of sand in it. Guess, this proves the Lala are fresh coz if the Lala have been in the water long time, the sands would have been washed out already.

I also want a Kerang la.

Eh....why nothing inside ?

See...empty...naughty Papa...ate the kerang already and gave me empty shell. But I really enjoyed playing with the shell la.

Mamarazzi wanted Ikan Bakar(Grilled Frish).  This was the tiniest fish...but still very big hor? Ikan Jenak based on seasonal price. This one was 800gm , cost us RM28. Fresh.

Wah...the sauce for the fish was super-duper spicy. Yumm Yumm according to her.

My "relatives" must have smelled the nice fragrant of the seafood. They came to "tumpang makan".

Over ordered again....

While waiting for Papa and Mamarazzi finish makan, I played with the shells. My new "lego" .
