Coming Home via Melaka (Eat in Melaka!)

Date:  Sep 15, 2011

没上飞机是对的选择！

I was in KL, and suppose to take the 2:30pm flight back to Singapore.  Instead, I hitched a ride from my friend, Larry.  And he proposed a very good itenary that I cannot refuse.  :)  These are good food guide if you happen to go to Melaka.

Sun May Satey

Our first stop is Sun May Satey Coffee House (新味香).

This is located on Jalan Kota Laksamana 1/1 beside the Siungai Melaka.

It is a small coffee shop with the satey BBQ grill just outside the store.

It is Chinese bbq-ing the satey.  And guess what is the famous satey there.

Look closely.  It is pig intestine satey (粉肠沙爹).  And the sauce is very famous satey peanut sauce with a twist.  They added pineapple into the satey peanut sauce, and it taste a bit like Ar-cha.  The pig intestine satey is VERY GOOD!  It is very juice with a bit of crispy plus some burnt charcoal and are well balanced.

And the next famous food is the Pork Liver Satey(猪肝沙爹).  That's the dark color one in the following photo.  As you can see, in between the two adjacent pork livers, there is pork lard.  It is very hard to say no to this kind of food.

Of course, they will also serve the ketupat and tibun & onions.

But the most unique thing is.... You simply tell the lady boss that what you want to eat, and they will bring a plate of satey to you.  Yes, eat all you can, and they will only charge you for what you have eaten.  吃了再算帐.  Well, this is very similar to the Malay food store/table where they have nasi lemak, curry puff, and kueh kueh on the plate.  You simply take the food you want, and they will count later.

Come to think about it... she will replenish the satey, how can you resist it.  So, at the end, every one finished the satey in the plate in front of you.  See what I mean.

Of course, don't forget about the "Liang-Teh" very nice.

Wow... the show is famous too.  But I don't think a lot of Singaporean know about this store.  By the way, they only sell satey from 11am to 5pm.  During weekend, they started during 10am.

Hing Loong Taiwan Mee

Of course, how can our stomach be satisfied with only 20+ satey sticks.  Next, we went to eat one of the nicest Beef noodle in town.

This store is call Hing Loong Taiwan Mee.

Two of their famous dish is the beef noodle and the fried spare ribs.  The fried spare ribs is normal.  Many good restaurant can easily produce this.

But it is the beef noodle that win my heart.  The most important thing in the following is that beef soup in that small little orange bowl.  As you can see, it is not a clear soup, but a thick beef broth soup.  It has a very beefy taste, like braising the beef for 1 full day like that.

Next is the beef, which is quite ok.  And the noodle (Mee).  It is very good.  Adding a bit of sour vege beside and make it a very good Taiwan Beef Noodle.  Very nice, and tasty.

This is the the same beef noodle store.  Next time when you are in Melaka, try it!  Forget about the Chicken Rice ball, it is a tourist food.  Try some of these famous local food.  You will like it!

Here are the exact location.  It is on Jalan Gajah Berang.

After the meal, we on the way back to Singapore with a very satisfied stomach.  HaHaHa
