Aunty Lee Nyonya Food In Malacca

RESTED ONE DAY IN JOHOR just in case of jet lag and the following day, we drove 200 over kilometers to the historical city, Malacca!  The last trip I went was in February, just after Chinese New Year and let me tell you, the place was just "flooded" with tourists then.  Never ever go during peak season unless one loves the crowd and queuing up for food.  hahahahaa...  The weather during CNY was extremely hot too and to our delight, this time it was unlike of what we experienced during the peak season.

Firstly, there as no heavy traffic on the highway... and we drove in to Malacca via Jasin... 
Using Waze, we drove to Hatten Hotel without much hassle... 
I booked through booking.com and it was much cheaper than walking in.
One night cost RM228 with breakfast and walking in is around RM276.
We parked our car and checked in but we could only go into the room around 3pm...
This time round we were so blessed to have a local and lovely couple to take us around...
They were waiting for our arrival at the lobby and we were whisked off for Lunch straightaway!
This is the place we were brought to... away from the tourists... 
We left our orders to them and for appetizers, we had Pai Tee... 
We DIY our own stuffings into the crispy Pai Tee cups..
And into our mouth at one go... oh MY!
The taste was simply fabulous!
I must go for this again!!
As for the dishes... oh me oh my!
I was really drooling by then... 
Crispy fried fish with sambal...
Ponteh Chicken...
Prawns in pineapple curry... not spicy and definitely suit my tastebuds!
Steamed okra as usual... my favourite and theirs as well!
I thought it would be super spicy by looking at the red chillies..
But to my delight, they were not, in fact they were sweetened!
Everyone laughed when the camera just have to "eat first" instead of humans!
See what I mean?  We do love to take pictures and looking pro at it!!
For desserts, we had cendol .... 
And the gula melaka syrup is up to individual's takings... 
The best for last.... 
Price of the meal?  
No, we did not ask... as the local couple keep saying...
"You are our guests... Don't worry, Just be Happy!!"
Yes, we were indeed Blessed..
Thank You!!

    Yeah, don't worry be happy! :D

    I've never had Pai Tee before, even though my mom is Malaccan. I think she doesn't really fancy it herself. Every time we go back (which is not that frequent also), chicken rice balls only. :/

    Long time didn't go Malacca, I will note down the name of this restaurant, can try if I go Malacca next time

    Ah that Parkson shopping centre, I remembered we went there shopping the last time we went Malacca

    I love all the food shown here, but I am a bit skeptical about the fish, if with many bones, I don't think I will like it

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
