The next morning, all of us managed to wake up fresh, ready and hungry for more foodie adventures.
Shortly past 10 in the morning, we were already queueing up for the chicken rice balls. I am glad we did because the queue at noon turned out to be even worse. Chicken rice for breakfast! To be honest, the rice balls are just a novelty, they just taste like the normal rice. The chicken was good though, tender and yummy.
After that, we headed for Jonker 88 for chendol and ice kachang. Joy managed to squeeze in a slot for mango juice between all that! I know, it was just irresistable. Ice kachang is BAD, not at all special. But as I'm getting used to the chendol, I don't find it extraordinary anymore, though their brown sugar syrup is still the main ingredient that makes it outstanding! I just had chendol at the hawker near my office recently, as my memory of the Jonker 88's chendol started to fade, I actually enjoy the local one too.
Thereafter it was souvenir shopping time. We stocked up stuff from tau sar piah, pineapple tarts, plum lime syrup, mee sua, bei teh sor to chicken biscuits. We then checked out and headed to the malls.
It was amazing how much food stops we had scheduled for that day. Next, A&W root beer float and curly fries are on the list. 5 of us ended up sharing 2 mugs and a large curly fries, it was a very small portion for each of us, but inorder to save room for dessert, it was a sacrifice we had to make. Our initial cake stop was Secret Recipe but WK suggested an even better place. Since we do have Secret Recipe in Singapore, we decided to go to the new cake stop and try it out before Secret Recipe. In the end, we skipped the later, because Nadeje Patisserie proved to be just too good! The mille crêpe were fabulous, even right now, I am drooling just thinking about it! We had the original, chocolate strawberry and mango yogurt. I saw many more, the next time I am back, I will do chocolate banana and green tea!! OMG, they were so light and fluffy... and you would just keep wanting more and more. Of course, they went really well with the TOKYO coffee we had.
After the cakes, we decided we were done with food. The guys still managed to down a KFC meal (of course, they shared). Poor WK got a parking ticket due to the wrong state coupon (he put the JB's instead of Melaka's). Oh dear! Then it was time to head back down to Singapore. It started to pour really heavily after we drove out of Melaka. The rest of the journey back to JB I couldn't recall because I was dozing off half the time! LOL. The girls managed some sleep while the poor boys got to keep awake on the road.
We finally reached JB around 6pm. Finally, I could use the toilet after hours in the car!!! We had the nasi lemak WK recommended, accompanied with honey glazed satay. That marked the end of our makan trip - very fruitful indeed. Thanks to Joy and her colleagues for being such great company; special thanks to WK for being on the wheels and showing us around.
