Back in 1400, Parameswara decided to land in a place called Malacca. In 1511, Portugese also planned to rule this place and then followed by other big boys such as Dutch and British. Did you question why?
If you remember, few weeks back, many start to debate on Hang Tuah real existence. FYI. Hang Tuah is famous legendary Malay warrior in Malacca. Is he real? Or just a myth?
Come on guys, don’t ask me such questions. I don’t have genuine answers for you. If you want to know more, you should read your history books or follow latest updates in newspaper. (LOL..you thought I will give you a history lesson here :p ?)
The sole reason I drove all the way to Malacca despite my tight CNY schedule is not because of history lesson but for Malacca Chicken Rice Balls instead! The authentic version one!
To ensure that my international readers did not get slaughter for rocket high price, here I include some of the pricelist for your perusal. From the look of it, this is just a spot you should at least make a trip.
Due to many customers, even on normal days, you have to pre-order what you want. N sorry, there is no pictorial menu for you to finger point it. So you can either walk away or follow what the waitress suggests.
But hey, you should feel lucky when you read my post as I managed to snap few photos to at least show to you what you are about to get as I ordered pretty much everything on menu such as cabbage, assam fish, whole chicken and chicken rice balls.
To me, I think the steam chicken is comparable with Kedai Kopi 18 and Restoran Onn Kee (Taugeh Ayam) and all taste good. If you want something original, try the rice ball too.. DUH.. that is the whole reason why I was there!
