Went over to Muar+ Melacca last weekend. I came back feeling tired but more refreshed. It is really great to have a getaway every once in a while. Short trips like this can really chase the troubles away. And make your monday slightly better. Well, at least i don't feel like crying untill 8pm. Which for my case for the past two wks, the feeling will start at 10am.
We were drove in and was able to travel in comfort. We stayed the night in a hotel, which i'd forgotten its name just that it has double S in it. It was cheap and clean and comfy enough for me.
We had cheap good food. Cheap as in those once upon a time, Sing's chicken rice prices. We had chicken rice ball in Melacca for lunch and it was really good. At a old coffeeshop along the street of the Orang Utan shop + Zhen He museum. It cost about $2.50 sing each including drink. And it was good. The chicken and the rice.
Den upon reaching our hotel, we had wan tan mee + fried you tiao&fried butterfly + herbal tea at 4pm. The butterfly is really delicious. So soft and delicious. And most importantly, its still hot when you bite into it. These are from stall along the streets.
At about 8pm, we went to have dinner at a clean hawker place. Over there, we had BBQ chicken wings, OTAH, BBQ stingray and satay. Yummy.. Esp e chicken wings, with a hint of lime and the skin done till slightly crispy and the meat is tender and juicy. Ahh.. just the thoughts of it makes me drool. The sting ray is okay only but the flesh of the 'pang he' is very soft and tender but i dun really like the chili paste on it as its kinda bitter but still, the fish is good. Then there is the OTAH. 'SUPURB' No wonder xy can eat so much. But her colleague bought only 10 pieces for 4 persons. How to eat more... His maths fail one hor.. Lastly, there is the satay. Its tender and done just right. Not overcook or under. Just right. And when eaten with pineapples, it bring the taste out even more. Yumm...
After dinner, we went to get fruits that XY's colleague's mum bought for us. The thing i like about Malaysians are that they are always so friendly. And they will always go all the way to let you have a pleasent stay. Esp the parents. They will invite you over to stay at their place instead of hotels, dine at their home and they 'always' like to buy fruits for the visitors. Dun ask me why, but i always get to eat fruits when i visit my Malaysian friends at their home. And most times, its not only one type of fruits but a selection. And, i always find that these fruits are sweeter than those back home. No matter what.
Next morning, we went to have Bak Kuh Teh. Its the black kind with herbal taste. But wrong ingrediants. Xy's colleague ordered one with the 'organs' and so i only eat liver & mushroom & you tiao which is good enough. And so cheap too.. It cost about RM5 per person only..
Actually my intention of going Muar was to visit my daughter but two days before leaving, she told me that she will be busy over the weekend hence wouldnt be able to meet me. She asked me to go Muar again. And maybe, i will do so agian if there is a driver. But dear XY, i wont be going shopping with U! Cause i conclude that my aching legs are not because of the flights of stairs that we ascend n decend but the hours spend shopping. Yes, you motivates me. But i think my poor legs need more rest! Unless we are going to the new mall in Muar.. hahha...
Maybe one mth later....
