We are always on the hunt for yummy dim sum 🙂
Other than waiting for the staff to bring the dim sum selection for us to choose, we also went to the counter to place order for some of the items.
Lots of variety to choose from here and generally pretty affordable and delicious. Cost RM49.50 for 3 pax.

We were very happy to find a new place to try out Peranakan food! Prior reservations were required as walk-in were discouraged, and we also placed our orders in advance, ahead of the trip. We loved the ambience here and had a great time here!
We tried the following:
Note that there was an additional 10% service charge.

We tried the Pork (RM1.10/stick), Chicken (RM1.10/stick) and Beancurd Pork Belly 南乳猪肉 (RM13.80/set). There was a minimum order of 10 sticks for the RM1.10 ones, and an additional RM1 for cucumber and onions.
The meats were well-marinated, and the chicken was rather juicy despite looking quite lean. The beancurd pork belly was da-bomb!
The pineapple puree gave the satay sauce a refreshing twist. Very enjoyable 🙂

We saw the coconut shake at Batu Berendam quite a few times during our research for the trip and figured that we should give it a try! We had the Coconut Shake Special (RM4.50) which came with a scoop of ice cream blended in. It was a bit too sweet for us.
We also tried the Kuih Keria (RM0.60/piece) and we gotta say we were delightfully surprised by this little sweet treat! It was lightly crispy and full of bits of sweet potato inside.

Our breakfast pit stop before reaching Melaka was at Glutton Street in Batu Pahat. But alas, Thursday was not a good day as most of the stalls at the Glutton Street were closed for the day.
Nonetheless, we managed to try a Fried Carrot Cake (RM7) which strangely tasted like orh luak with cai poh instead of oysters. I liked it, but the rest could not gel the taste to “carrot cake”, hahaha. Too eggy, I supposed. We also had Roti Canai with coffee and tea (RM11.80) which were pretty decent.

The past 2 years have been hard on everyone due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Not only there was no travelling, there was even a Circuit Breaker (aka lock down) in Singapore from Apr 2020 to Jun 2020 where we were only able to go out of our house for essential stuff. This global pandemic has changed the way we work, the way we live and everything… It has been pretty hard for everyone, but light is now finally visible at the end of the tunnel…
After more than 2 years of non-travelling, border restrictions have finally relaxed and we decided to test water and visited our neighbouring country! The exchange rate we gotten from Lucky Plaza was S$1 to RM3.12.
We set off at 6:30am and cleared customs in Woodlands around 7am with hardly any other cars seen. A smooth 40-min drive later, we reached Skudai!
Time to hitch a ride with Dr. K to Melaka!
This time, we decided we would run some errands and venture further too. Our itinerary for the 4 days is here!
Day 1
The highlight were definitely the cakes! In particular, we enjoyed the Tofu Cheesecake very much as it was quite light and not overly sweet. The Salted Caramel Cake had bailey’s in it, and was a combination of sweet, salty and bitterness from the alcohol. Drinks wise, the Galaxis tasted a bit like Ribena with lemon, while the Lattes were slightly more milky. [Total expense RM64.70]

This is the last day of our trip, but still so many foods to try! We decided to try another 鱼饺面 at Restaurant Wong Soh Siew but again, there was no fish dumpling that we were used to seeing in Singapore… by now, we were beginning to think that there were some definition differences, haha!
We ordered the dry version with a mixture of yellow noodles and kway tiao, simple but good! We enjoyed the fish balls too 🙂 [Total expense RM5]
A quick Google, and found this explanation here: 鱼饺 (yu2 jiao3) is actually 鱼鲛 (also yu2 jiao3), which meant fish paste, hence, 鱼饺面 is typically a noodles dish served with fish balls and fish cakes, as both items were made of fish paste. Mystery solved 😀

We were too late to try out the famous An Pang Yong Tau Foo stall, so we decided to go try satay (sate) in Kajang. There were a few stalls with good reviews, and we opted for one located in a pit stop along the highway.
Business must be good enough for the stall to have its own dedicated air-conditioned dining area. We decided to try one of each of the seven available types of satay, which included Fish, Chicken, Beef, Mutton, Rabbit, Chicken Heart and Liver (Total expense RM10.60).
We had to wait a while for the satay, resulting in a rather cooled peanut sauce. However, the sweetened satay were not bad, and adding sambal to the peanut sauce gave it an additional kick!
