We are ready to go.... Melaka
I was very happy when my girls agreed to go down to Melaka to celebrate my birthday. I had wanted to watch the Encore Melaka performance after hearing the good reviews. No better excuse to go as my birthday treat.
We left after our breakfast and arrived in Melaka around lunchtime and Sarah recommended this restaurant..
This Perakan restaurant has been established since1997. I started my shopping here with purchases of their cincalok and curry powder especially made by Uncle Lee.
The aroma of curry/asam hit us the moment we entered the restaurant and seeing the patrons tucking in the food was clearly a indication of good food here.
So we ordered this simple but delicious meal, cincalok omelette, Ayam Pongteh, Steamed Okra with sambal and of course their pie-tee.
DIY Pie Tee...
A satisfying meal indeed..
It was too early to check in, so we made a beeline for the Baba Charlie Nyonya Kueh.
The first time, we visited the place all the kueh were sold out. However this time, the place was quiet and still plenty of kuehs available. Was wondering could the reason be the "service" of the staff here?
Eyes say "I want", stomach say "Too full already"
Anyway we were happy with our purchases and now to go check in

What a happy birthday girl to get pampered in Melaka. I love this town as their antiques and old buildings interest me to the skies. That's how I got into antique trading by chance recently.
