Trip to Malacca

Went to Malacca last Saturday with my research teammates, Hooi Shan, Chung Nam, Diew Leong, Leni & her friends - Kar Kei, Larry & Samuel, and Darel. Managed to met up with Lai Tzen and Leni's friends who are staying in Malacca.
Ate Chicken Rice Balls at Jonker Street... The rice was good! But the chicken tasted...hmm...ok :P
Went around the shops nearby after lunch... Visitted Qing Yun Temple...
Met my ex-secondary schoolmate, Yong Cheng when we ate nyonya cendol, laksa and rojak at a shop before going to Tan Kim Hock to try the famous durian cendol... bought a bottle of cincalok there...
went to a shop opposite Puay Chai Primary School to try the special satay served together with pineapple gravy...
climbed up the hill behind the museum, my third time up there:)
went to Portugese Settlement and got mobbed by the hawkers there... it was drizzling when we arrived there... the hawkers scared me :P everyone was offering good food, some even have student packages... one of them eventually tried to give us free drinks! we didn't eat in the end :P
ate satay celup at a very famous shop... queued for more than half an hour to get a seat... one of the customers - an indian lady got her foot rolled over by a motorcycle when she was queueing up by the roadside with her family... i was taking my food when it happened... heard from the waitress that this wasn't the first time the incident happened to their customers... that indian lady cried as it must be very painful... her foot didn't bleed... but i guess there must be some minor fractures inside her foot... although i didn't see it happened with my eyes, i was equally shocked... hope she's fine by now...
the satay celup was quite delicious :)
went to Jonker Walk after dinner, my second time there :) watched a master poked a coconut with his bare finger... he knew many languages... the main purpose of his performances was to sell his ointment :)
tried some other good foods at Jonker Walk...
we didn't stay overnight in Malacca... reached KL late at midnight...
enjoyed myself very much :)
