Calanthe Art Cafe, Malacca (2nd Visit)

After the walk in Jonker street we went for lunch. Tried to find the famous Donald and Lily Curry Laksa but couldn't find . Hence after a few rounds, it was decided that we have our lunch at Calanthe Art Cafe.

The first time we visited this Cafe was in May 2012. It left a good impression to Mamarazzi.

 I still remember this place. The first thing I did was...play with the pebbles!

 Not really keen to eat leh. I wanna play pebbles leh. Here I kept asking Mamarazzi is the Jie Jie going to join us. Last time we came here with some friends.

Mamarazzi and Papa had the famous Calanthe Laksa. Papa opt for yellow noodles while Mamarazzi had Bihun(Rice vermicelli) .  

Too bad her bihun was not soft enough. Felt a bit under cooked.Didn't bother to have it sent back to the kitchen

 I had Seafood Keoy Teow soup. Mamarazzi "stolen" all my mushroom. I had the Keoy Teow only.

I had Banana Smoothies. This round it was not bitter like previous visit. 

Mamarazzi had Coca-Cola while Papa had Ice Blended Coffee without whip Cream....but it came with Whipped cream anyway. Papa sent it back to the kitchen to have the cream removed.

Morning Walk At Jonker Street and The Flea Market

After breakfast, we went to jonker Street for a walk. Uiks....they have Flea market during the weekend wor.

  The cars caught my eyes but Mamarazzi said see only,  cannot touch coz it's fragile.

  Mamarazzi said long time never saw this "tikam" thingy.

 A lot of Tembaga (Brass) thingy here. Papa say got brass kettle and asked the man got brass wok/kuali or not. Uncle Arthur looking for brass wok. The man said don't have. Even the brass Kettle cost RM300! Of course....it was hand made and no other material was added when they make it. Unlike the Brass nowadays which mostly "polluted" by other tin/ore.

Being the new generation, I was very puzzled by this "device". How come their "CD" so BIG? Where is their computer? Just put the small "CD" into the computer lah...

Before going off from Jonker Street, we stopped by this stall and bought some Nyonya Kuih from this man.

Didn't get much of anything from Jonker street . Just two pairs of chopsticks with our surname. The third paor got it from the night market. RM4 a pair. Can buy 3 items for RM10.

Then Mamarazzi went to Bibik House and "borong" four containers of Pineapple tarts. Her favourite. Hmmm...if not mistaken price had increased to RM14 for 20 pieces.

But it's worth it for Mamarazzi as she said the taste not too sweet and they are generous with the fillings.

 

Moreover, She love the textures of the filing which is not too mashed up. Yummm.....by now two containers of the tarts have gone into Mamarazzi's tummy lor

Taiwan Noodle at Restaurant Hing Loong, Melaka

 We went looking for breakfast after my swim. Gosh! This shop is really hard to find. Said located at Jalan Bacang but the Jalan(road) Bacang is so long. And the GPS tag was not accurate.

Made many rounds and Papa even called up the restaurant to ask for direction. Finally found it by chance. It's was a corner lot and the signboard was not exactly facing the road. No wonder we couldn;t find it when we pass by here a few rounds.

 Sleepy liao.....

 Men at work

 Mamarazzi had Pork Trotter Noodle RM4.20.  The noodle is the Pan Mee type of noodle. The meat tasted good but Mamarazzi would have preferred that they clean the skin more. There was a few

bristle attached to the skin.

 Papa had Beef noodle RM4.50. He told the worker that he don't want Chili but the worker must have misunderstood and added more chili for him. Not surprising at the miscommunication as the workers are foreign workers.

I think he likes the noodle pretty much. He finished this one and end up ordering a bowl of Pork Trotter noodle.

 For me, Plain noodle soup will be enough. RM2.40

 Papa ordered a piece of Pork Chop. Taste okay la.

 I was stumped by this sign. This place selling food but how come say no food and drinks allowed?

 

 Then Mamarazzi explained to me that only can eat the food here. Cannot bring food from other place to here.

 OOooo....like that ah....okay lo. Overall the noodle here was not bad la.

What Happen to My Birdie?

The next morning I woke up early. The night before I kept reminding Mamarazzi to set alarm coz I wanted to go to the pool to look for the boy for morning swim.

 

 Mamarazzi woke me up early.

I went to the balcony to check is it morning yet. Yup! It's morning .

View from the balcony...a stone throw away from the hotel is the Dataran Pahlawan and Mahkota Parade.

 Brrrrrrr...the water is very coooooolllllddd

Alamak! what happen to my birdie? It's full of water liaoooooo....

 Must be too cold. Never mind...sun is up.

 Went exploring to the other side of the pool

Waited so long to the boy to come but he didn't appear. Haiz.....even play hide and seek under the coconut tree leh....can see my botak head or not?

Dinner Plus Supper at Newton Food Court , Malacca

As I have said yesterday, I was famished after the swim. 

Around 7pm we went out hunting for food. Papa had in mind to have dinner at Tee Soon Loong Chan Teo Chew Seafood Restaurant, but then after making a few rounds and couldn't find a parking spot, we head on to another place. Moreover, Mamarazzi got down from the car to ask, the man said the restaurant was full. Need to wait long.

  

Round punya round, arrived at Newton Food Court. Heard there are nice food here. I was famished but when I saw the kiddie rides, my hunger was forgotten.

 

Vroom ! Vroom! future Mat Rempit.

 Mamarazzi ordered Fish Ball Keoy Teow soup for me. A lot of ingredient but not much Keoy Teow. RM4

 Don't have mood to eat coz kept thinking wanna play and play and play...no more hungry.

 

Mamarazzi spotted Prawn Noodles and ordered a bowl for herself. RM4.50.The boy got her order mixed up. Supposed to be mihun and noodle but it came with noodles only. Never mind la. Still the taste was good enough for her.

 Papa ordered some Satay. Chicken, oink oink and intestine satay but the lady got mixed up gave us 20 skewers of Chicken Satay instead.

 When she realised her mistake, she gave replacement.

 the intestine satay with the spicy peanut gravy

 Papa ordered Oh Chien(Fried Oyster omelet) RM8. Portion was very big. Not much oyster.

 Some Lobak. Very crunchy

 Century Egg.

 Fried Keoy Teow. Papa didn't finish this coz it was quite oily and surprisingly sweet. CKT aren't supposed to be sweet, right? Maybe different states have different way of frying it.

Finally, I finished eating my noodle. Mamarazzi gave me 50sen and I got to play this "car". Hmmm....duno why the man behind me is staring. Maybe he wanna ride too kot?

 Dropped by this Putu Piring stall to get some of the delicious Putu Piring as Papa was still hungry. Price have not increase. Still 90 sen a piece.

Water Kucing at Equatorial Hotel, Malacca

Yup...this round there is a lot of "water" post. Looking forward to play water. 

Well, after lunch we walk-in to Equatorial Hotel. Ddn;t made any reservation as it was a spontaneous trip. Despite being a weekend, they still have rooms available. Probably coz it's no longer peak period.

After Check-in, went into the room and took bath. Mamarazzi asked me to sleep awhile but I was too excited. I wanted  to go "swimming". I know where the Swimming pool is. It's one the 4th floor. I asked the staff when Papa was busy check-in in.

Well, I won in the end. Mamarazzi brought me to the swimming pool.

Brrrr......water was cold...but I love it. The swimming pool area was very large and scenic. Even have coconut tree. Anay and Letchumi can dance under them.

Found a new "friend", Rashid. But too soo his Papa said have to go off liao. Go makan. Mamarazzi also said go off liao coz the sun is setting.

 Before that, have to mandi mandi first.

 In the Lift I kept asking Mamarazzi where rashid go. I wanna follow also.

 Back in the room I was famished. 

Ate Mamee snack while waiting to go off for dinner.
