One day trip

THE plan was to have a one day trip to penang and we were to start our journey at 6. Okay, i dont mind since i get to eat, eat, eat and eat. Then they decided to go to muar. Fine by me.

So on that day i woke up at 9 to the sound of some shit ass mobile ringing non-stop. I went to my parents room to find my dad still sleeping. Feeling a lil pissed i went back to bed knowing that the trip will not materialise. I woke up at 11 and after doing the things ppl dont mention that do in the toilet but ppl knows, i went down to the hall and saw both my parents there. Armed still with the pissy feeling i opened my gap -

me: So much for penang
parents : Both cockstares me awhile.
me : so much for Muar, now we staying at home.
mom : u didnt want to wake up!
me: -.- *thinks to self- wtf?*
mom : woke u all up didnt wanna wake up. Dont blame us.
me : Quite got... and proceed to lie down on the couch.

So neither penang nor muar happened instead we whisked our asses to Malacca. Malacca, the place where it all started, the cornerstone of our very civilisation. If malacca didnt happen, malaysia would be from somewhere else anyway.

So, 1st stop, 2nd sis fish ball.... The mee was bad and the soup a lil tasteless but the fish balls are delicious and bouncy. I think u can almost play ping pong with the balls. The 'FU CHUK' was extremely tasteful and crispy with just enough fish paste inside to add to the great taste. Not too oily too. Nice

Then we went to hv chicken rice ball! "kai lap fan". The ori stall just finished so we went to the 2nd best which tasted not bad anyway. Sis was damn kampung as she havent tasted this b4. =.= what kind?

Out of the blue, my dad decided to visit a shopping complex which was more a like a shoplot which didnt have elevators nor escalators. WTH, ever heard of technological advancements? Got myself a belt for formal wear. Apparently it's important.

Dad brought us into a back alley where it didnt look very clean. There was only 2 tables with numerous chairs situated atop of another table was plates after saucer plates of chili sauce with peanut, lime and a tinge of 'har gao'. Hmmmm ? Then i saw it. Behind the table near the old lady that was preparing the chili, were buckets after buckets of 'si ham', 'lala' and 'loh'. 1st is ordered 2 of each, then we added more and more and soon it came to about 12 plates. The price? DIRT CHEAP- only RM 16. Since they only boiled it, there was must taste to it except for it's FRESH-ness which is most important. The chili was... fantastic. Thank god for hep. b injection!

Dinner was taken by the seaside at the portugese settlement. It was fabled to be so and so delicious but it turned out to be a miserable tourist spot which means that the food arent really up the standard and price is touri-shi. We ordered - sambal sotong which was not bad - the only dish there that is so-, sambal fried rice, chicken curry devil - which should be hot and spicy but wasnt - and black pepper crab - which tasted saltier than sea water, or just as salty =.= -.

We ended our trip in malacca with a final stuffing of out stomache. The claypot rice was s'posed to be good. It was jus that, SUPPOSED. It wasnt horrid but it didnt have much taste to it either. Dad also ordered 'oor xian' which is oysters fried with egg which had more flour than oysters. Crappy. Sate was well sate, nthg spectacular. The only thing that was, was that a snake appeared at the compound but i didnt see it myself. Just saw old men crowding around the tree with oo-aahh's and mumblings. Oh i forgot, the tea was like dishwater, sucky.

And we crashed into my seats of our car. I was sneezing non-stop after a few mins in the car and the last count was at 11 or 12. Not sure but it damn right was a disturbance. Slept the whole way back and i think it rained. Took us 2 hours to reach home whilst it took us only 1 hour 20 mins to get there.

All in all, i have no complains as it was fun and fulFILLING. Im waiting excited for the trip to penang as penang is seriously a food paradise. *drool*
