Want to blog about my Malacca trip, but still can't find time to write a nice long post.. so I shall do what I'm best at first - posting pictures, starting from the eatables :P Food I had over the few days were mostly Chinese/Peranakan - I wanted to try Portuguese food too, but the closest we got to Portuguese food were the eggplants and pepper crabs at the Portuguese Settlement seafood restaurant Sea Terrace. The chicken rice balls we tried at Famosa were very disappointing - so they are not featured in my 'food roll' haha. Desserts come first.
Durian Pengat from Nancy's Kitchen (a pretty popular local restaurant about one street down from our hotel on Heeren Street)-- The blue and white glutinous sticky rice is eaten with the durian paste in the background (there are submerged bits of banana in the durian paste too). Recommended by the owner herself. Quite yummy but it's very, very rich.
Two versions of Chendol - the first from Nancy's Kitchen and the flower shaped one from Tan Kim Hock... The TKH version is supposedly famous but I couldn't quite tell what was so good about it haha. Does anyone know what the green green things are? They are always there I've never questioned what on earth they are... till last week when I was eating this.
Cincalok fried egg from Nancy's Kitchen. Hmmm if you don't already know what cincalok is... 
They are just fermented tiny shrimps commonly found in Melakan cuisine... And you can get them in bottles at the Tan Kim Hock store. Quite gross hor... I think I prefer dried shrimp anytime.. BTW, I recall that the folks selling beef kway teow on Purvis St also offer cincalok as a complementary dipping sauce... eeks :P
Chap Chye at Amy's Kitchen, a nonya restaurant recommended by hotel staff. Food was ok lah... but not worth the price. No wonder we were the only customers in this nonya restaurant.
Dun be deceived by the dubious appearance - These salted eggplant (think they were baked) were good!
Dry version of pepper crab -- surprisingly yummy 'cos the crabs were fresh and juicy!
