Malacca 🇲🇾

Missed out on trying Kok Keong’s pork soup due to our appointment at the husky cafe, but our later lunch at this roadside stall (called ‘Fishcake and Yam Stall’ on google maps) we came across nearby made up for it. It was my first time trying rojak Malaysian-style, and I definitely prefer it to the versions in SG. All that deep fried goodness plus the sticky, savoury sauce made from a fantastic combination. Within the small makeshift hut where this stall was located, there were also a pancake stall and a drinks stall, which doled out refreshing and cheap coconut drinks. A most random, unplanned meal that was extremely satisfying (the atmosphere, sitting side by side with random uncles eating their rojak also added to the experience)

Contemplated the longest time over which chendol to eat (because there’s too many choices and other stuff to try within the short span of our trip), and marked out a couple of possible places. We tried this in the end as it was conveniently located in Jonker Street and was slightly hidden from the crowd. And this was absolutely outstanding; we can’t compare to other chendols as this was the only we tried here, but the gula Melaka was PERFECT. Only after I got back to SG and drank some avocado with mediocre gula Melaka did I realize how good this truly was.

Located near Hatten Square is this quaint BKT stall that dishes out our favourite BKT that comes default with pork ribs and mixed organs. Even the bean sprouts exceeded expectations, with crisp deep fried garlic garnished on top. We loved it so much we went back again before we left for Singapore.
