Excursion to Malacca -Part 1

Wow... It has been a week since I last posted!!! My imaginary readers must be getting super tired of coming to my blog and finding out that I have not updated anything yet... Thousand apologies. Guess what? I went to Malacca. Hehe... for those who didn't passed their Geography in school last time, well... Malacca is in Malaysia and it's known as Bandar Bersejarah (Historical Town-or something lidat) But for me... it's known as The City of FOOD!!! Wahaha...

So for the next few blogs, I’m gonna introduced the bestest and most loved food in Malacca! Enjoy ya people!!! For my imaginary friends from all over the world... well... u can get a taste of wat is Malaysian food! Try not to lick your monitor. It'll be kinda gross but if u want... well... its Ur monitor! =)

I took a bus to Malacca to visit Cody. Took me 2 hours to get to Malacca on a bus which cost RM11 (US $3). Went to Pudu Bus Station for that. That's another experience altogether. Getting on the bus station I mean. The dirt, fumes and throngs of people is quite enough to make a princess like me feel terribly uncomfortable. =( But well.. it's an experience for me!

The bus was quite spacious and comfy though. Apart from waiting an extra 30 minutes for it coz the bus I was supposed to take failed to arrive. It was quite nice compared to being in the hot and congested bus station. Okay... enough of scaring away potential tourist to Malaysia. Now for the good part.

That night, me and Cody went for Satay Celup. It's located at Ong Kim Wee.. Dun really know who the person is but well... his street serves delicious satay celup!

It doesnt say anywhere on the sign that it's satay celup. Unless u can read Chinese! Unfair!

Know what's that? Or rather do u know wat is Satay? Well... for starters satay is a very popular food in Malaysia. It consists of chunks of chicken or beef 'poked' into sticks and later barbecued to perfection. It is normally eaten with peanut sauce which is both spicy and well peanut-ish. Not recommended for faint hearted though! =)

well... the difference between satay and satay celup is satay celup is not cooked! Everything is raw and the whole point is that we have to dip our different sticks into this hot pot in the middle of our table to cook it.

Oooh.. hot steamy.. sigh..

HOT!!!

And guess what? The pot is filled with hot steamy PEANUT sauce!!! Hehe... Where Satay is just chicken or beef... well... for satay celup we have everything! Crabmeat, sotong (calamari), sausage, quail eggs, even vegetables!!!

It's a bit not halal here.. =(

This is wat the locals call 'sotong'!

And the result.. YUMMYLICIOUS!!!

Helped!!! I'm cooked!!! Get me out of here!!!

I ate almost 10 sticks of pure quail eggs!!! That is like 20!!!

This is how many sticks i ate!

AAll in all... i really enjoyed my dinner over there... I use to always think Satay Celup will not be nice and wat's the fun of dipping everything into that pot and making everything taste the same? But surprisingly I really loved it. One thing though... You’ll end up all hot and stuffy and... Smelly... =(

Definitely worth is though.. wahaha....
