In our friendly neighbouring country, if you speak Malay, you get this...
Chunks of meat with lots of fries (not shown in pic)
If you don't, you get....
A pathetic starved chicken wing, a malnutrition-chicken's drumstick...
& probably about 16 pieces of french fries...
A GREAT welcome present for first-time KL visitors, Nauti Boy & I.
Woohoo!
This is the first stop as part of our 3hours + drive to KL, Malaysia.
A "pleasant" surprise indeed.
Arrived at Cititel Mid Valley near midnight and checked in to our tiny hotel room, to be shared with Sis and Jie Fu...
Woke up early the next morning for our breakie at the hotel eatery.
The typical hotel breakfast spread but not too bad...
Beats having the pathetic piece of A&W chicken... =P
After breakie, drove 2hrs up to Genting despite the rain!
Thus, could only stay indoors at First World Hotel...
Venetian also has this boat ride! Looking forward to our trip to Macau! :)
Indoors amusement park...
Nothing amusing amazing... * shrugs*
Now, we waited for something more interesting....
*glurps*
Gambling Gaming time!
No cameras allowed thus, no pics!
We won 60RM...
=)
Some indoor roller coaster track...
Here's the long winding road...
The temperature was pretty "shiok" but that's about all that's nice up there...
Went shopping after descending...
Walked till my legs were a little aching...
Seems KL stuff are pretty similar to Singapore's =/
Only managed to get shoes... =P
Checked out early in the morning as we need to travel to Malacca!
Last few glimpse of our Hotel Room!
KL's Petronas Twin Tower from afar...
and some ulu building... LOL
Took an hour ride to Malacca and was greeted by great Nature!
When was the last time u see rooster and chickens hanging around and cows being herded along the road?
See the cow's head on the left in the third pic?
I wasn't fast enough to capture la...
Following the recent Nyonya Craze, we couldn't resist trying our some authentic Nyonya delicacies.
Very very good Nyonya Assam Laksa!
Spicy, sour and sweet at the same time.
You get the "suan la, suan la" feeling just like Thai's Tom yum.
The noodles are like long strands of "mee tai mak" or "rat flour (lao shu fen... hahaha)"
Very springy and QQ.
Good combi!
Yums!
The Peranakan designed exterior and interior of Jonker Desert
Cooling
Baba Chendol!
The Gula Melaka drizzled generously on top of the crushed ice is fragrant and thick, unlike our local syrup-y Gula Melaka...
Sis tried their Mango Ice-kacang which was pretty good as well.
Had the sweet smell of fresh mango...
Very refreshing desserts indeed!
Of cuz, in Malacca, how can anyone not try their famous chicken rice?
Unfortunately, the eatery which had lots of raves was too packed. So we have to settle for a less crowded one.
These riceballs are so cute!
Really looked like fishballs.
Very fun to eat though nothing really fantastic... I feel...
Overall, the trip, though tiring (thou not as tired as my jie fu who shuttled us to and fro - esp during the 3hrs long ride from Sg to KL), was quite a fruitful one.
It's the experience that counts.
At least, I can say I've been to Genting before, though much later than everybody else...
=P
