good ol' malacca

Despite hating the traffic and weather in Malacca, I must admit, there's no place like home.

That weekend brought together five people closer and stronger in chemistry. It was a humble breakaway from KL city when Henry and Jac decides to visit Malacca. Missing the Ayer Keroh exit was an irony with 3 out of 4 passengers in the car hails from Malacca - at least for goodness sake stayed in Malacca before or part of their family rooted in Malacca. Henry finally understood the grievances of my complaints about Malacca traffic when we arrive in Malacca town. Picked up Jasmine and we were just in time for lunch at my place. Mom was more than happy to welcome all of them with a sumptous lunch. Mom really cooked a lot. Everyone was indulging into true Peranakan dishes which you couldn't find anywhere else unless you know someone with the Peranakan blood. When everyone is already bloated, it is Coconut drinking session. Mom plucked the best ripe coconuts while dad chopped them open for a soothing dessert in a hot environment. Despire being in the kampung, I would say, even the trees and greeneries around my house are not helping in cooling down the temperature of the space.

Lunch over and we headed back to Jasmine's place to put our stuff in the guest room before venturing into her ancestral authentic Peranakan house. It was jaw-cracking! amazing amazing architecture from the past and I was truly blown away. The amount of precious things in the place is indescribable - all thanks to her ancestors for being such smart asses when most of the Malaccans are trying to kais pagi makan pagi, kais petang makan petang during postwar period.

Mesmerization moment's over and we headed down to Jonker Street for the famous dessert - Cendol. Had a blast! Everyone's bloated again~ After we had our cendol, we went for Satay Celup and several other places before southing to Pantai Kundur.

Went to church the next morning before heading back to Jasmine's place for oh-my-god-the-best!!!-ever Mee Siam I've tasted. It was so yummy, Joan finished the whole bowl of gravy left for the Mee Siam - minus the noodles! Sheish! After that, we headed back to my place to get my stuff before going back to Kuala Lumpur. On the way, we stopped by a shop in Tengkera for Tai Bak, ABC and Kueh Badak. It was just a simple soothing dessert perfect for such a hot weather.

Reached Kuala Lumpur with smooth traffic surprisingly on the Sunday before the end of school holidays. Went Pavilion for a simple movie - All's Well Ends Well. It was stupidity to the max! No gist but some parts were undeniably funny. After movies, we headed to SS2 for a quick bite before heading home with overloaded stomach and happy memories!

I lophe you guys! All of you!! I had a great time! LOPHE!!! :)
