... the shop front.
... vege.
... Hokkien fried bee hoon.
... spare ribs in 2 sauces. Left 1 was butter garlic alike, and right 1 was sweet & sour.
Rating: 6.5/10
Our dinner was supposed to be at BadAss Coffee, but their kitchen closes at 10pm. So we had to adjourn to this place. I had pretty good impression on this place since my last visit. Though this time, they don’t have their daily special item which I had last time, the Vietnamese clay pot chicken, which was very tender, despite being chicken breast meat cutlets.
The Hokkien fried bee hoon here wasn’t as salty as the Hokkien fried bee hoon a few shops away. The spare ribs were good, but there were 3 pieces with bones. While the garlic sauce was a bit weird. I can’t say it was not nice, but neither was it nice if you had too many. Just the right amount is sufficient. Vegetable was horrible though.

... siam style vermicelli.
... my favourite kam henog mantis prawns.
Rating: 6.5/10
The siam style vermicelli was nice, though I preferred it when they shredded the curry leaves, which made the whole thing smell and tasted much nicer. The kam heong mantis prawns were a big disappointment. It was now dipped in batter and deep fried, unlike last time where it was fried without batter, which retains most of the taste and texture of the mantis prawns. Now, I could only taste the crunchy stuff. I might as well just buy some banana fritters if I wanted something crunchy.

After our drink at SFCC, EL dropped MSF and ALGJ off back at office. He suggested to me to have his favourite beef noodle in Jalan Alor, but I had to drive. Since I wasn’t rushing home and I was very satisfied with my XM, I agreed to it.
... EL said, we must eat with the chili sauce provided too. It's rather very sour and spicier than its similar looking counterpart.
... AT doesn't take beef, hence she got herself a bowl of pork balls, all to herself.
... beef noodle with beef meat paste, which looked really delicious.
... soup with beef balls, meat and cow's stomach.
Rating: 5.5/10
I swear I didn’t put much expectation to this. The rating is as how it was to me. It doesn’t really shine as what EL claimed. His comeback? “Today is indeed not as good as usual.”
I’d expect the meat paste to have a little cow’s fragrance to it, so that I know I’m actually eating beef and not some wild boar pork or anything else similar in texture. In fact, the paste was pretty tasteless, after I mixed them well with the noodle. I had to eat along with the chili sauce, which was quite sour and salty. Paste looks good but tasteless. Beef balls were pretty acceptable. EL has been persuading me to have the cow’s stomach. At first I don’t want them all because I don’t even eat pig’s stomach. Anyway, I had 3 pieces, there were tasteless but felt a little crunchy. The meat cutlets were pretty good though, but there were only 2, that many. The soup was a bit spicy and has the fragrance of beef. I call it the spicy soup (辣湯) of beef.
Damage: RM5 per bowl of noodle + soup.

I still wonder why would I come here again after my really bad previous experience in Station 1.
It was because I was with PG and he bought a spanking new Sony VAIO notebook that needed to be fed with WiFi signals. I couldn’t think of a better place that’s still opened at wee hours rather than here, and it is close to home as well.
Rating: 7/10
I was actually expecting something mediocre to bad when I made the order. To my, our surprise, the chicken wings were really really good. They are probably 1 of the best I’ve had in KV. I guess it was because they were close to last call and the cook must have a lot of extra time on hands to nicely prepare the chicken wings.
The only downside was, we were given 3 pieces of the wings, where each was cut into 2, making 6 smaller pieces of wing drumsticks and the wing tips. Now, let’s do the maths, someone has got to sacrifice the last drumstick to the other while eating only the wing tip. Yes, yours truly had the wing tip while PG was happily chewing away the drumstick. Oh well, ladies first, right? *wink*

I wasn’t hungry at all, though I wished I was. That’s the problem with being back at home. I never get hungry, most of the time. I bought a pack of Maggi Kari Letup instant noodle earlier today. I was so tempted to try it but was still feeling full. Anyway, I couldn’t resist the temptation and proceed with it…
... something new I saw on the shelf. Could be a new packaging over the old curry flavour.
... looked tasty. I've always like Maggi's curry flavour. It tasted nice, though the noodle sucked really bad.
... poured myself a cup of HL low fat milk and chocolate mix. Felt like Dutch Lady.
Rating: 7/10
You must be wondering, how could an instant noodle get a 7 out of 10. I would’ve rated the original Maggi a 5.5/10. If the soup alone, it would’ve been 6.5/10. But this, the soup remained as good, though not as letupy as I expected. The soup was similar if not exactly the same as the original Maggi Kari.
But, well done to Maggi. They’ve finally nailed it. I’ve always hated the original curry flavour’s noodle. They get soggy too quickly despite cooking them for only 1 minute. This, this newly designed noodle, it doesn’t get soggy too quickly. After it was cooked, it tasted springy. Just like how I liked it. I guess they’ve finally realised that by putting the tomyam flavoured noodle into the curry flavour and repackage them, they could sell it at a higher price. Yes, eat pack cost around RM4.50+. Original curry flavour probably going for around RM3.80 only.
With this, I’d stick with it and probably stock up on my instant noodle. The curry is good because it’s mild on the spicy scale. I can’t be eating the tomyam all the time and not getting afterburner on my rear, can I?

... cendol with nice gula melaka.
Rating: 7/10
After our dinner at BBQ Chicken, we promptly went to PappaRich for cendol. It’s my favourite cendol in KV because others just not that nice. I just found out that it’s the 3rd time EL visited PappaRich within a week (7 days) time! He should be rewarded the best customer award.

After our dinner, we adjourned to the nearby Coffee Bean outlet.
… a regular Americano coffee. It made the small Ultimate Mocha looks so microscopic.
Rating: 2/10
I was surprised when I saw the cup, even more surprised that it was my order. I wouldn’t expect it to be that BIG. I guess the cup itself holds about 1 litre of Americano coffee in it. I thought I’ve came to the place where they serve big-cup-drinks (大杯水). 2 sachet of brown sugar weren’t enough to tame the bitterness in the drink. I had to pour in the 3rd to make it drinkable. Boy, was I stuffed! I’d say this was the most expensive kopi-o I’ve ever had. Now, where are my Chinese cruller?

Had a light supper at Pao Loong tonight. My mom recommended me the mee goreng to me, cause we don’t usually order that dish.
… looks good, taste even better. It was comparable to many mamak stall’s mee goreng. In fact it’s even better than most mamak stall’s mee goreng in KV.
… Chinese tea for oily food.
… belacan fried yau mak. It’s even better than the kangkung counterpart.
… siam style bee hoon. My favourite!
Rating: 8/10
First time having the mee goreng. Boy, was it good? Yes, it was good. But not sure if I’d have it again, cause I just can’t give up eating my siam style bee hoon over the mee goreng. Unless I’ll be going there daily, so I can try different food all the time.

As usual, whenever I balik kampung, I’ll get a taste of my favourite seafood at my favourite restaurant (only because they serve the dishes that I like).
… fried chicken salad with fruits cutlets.
… water spinach (蕹菜) stir fried with shrimp paste (蝦醬).
… fried little squids. My favourite of them all… but…
… kam heong mantis shrimps.
With both the fried squids and kam heong mantis shrimps, it is really hard for me to decided which one I liked better. I’ll take them both anytime, just to go with my few plates of white rice! Yeah, they are indeed THAT good!
… sweet sour fried crab. Eating crabs wasn’t my forte. All the hard works for the little meats that you can get and the messy fingers, or worse, hands. Sometimes, you’ll even get stain on your shirt. Unfortunately, unlike most sweet sour, which the crabs were drowned in its gravy, this was only laden with some gravy and it tasted unlike most sweet sour crabs. It’s salty and sour.
… halfway through the dishes…
… my best combination. Fried little squids, kam heong mantis shrimps and a healthy pick of kangkung.
Rating: 9/10
Both the kam heong mantis shrimps and fried little squids were spot on. No charred taste in the squids. The vege was right on spot. Not so for the crabs though. This was the first time I tried the fried chicken fruits salad. It wasn’t all that bad, but it’s just odd. Usually fruits salad goes well with boiled shrimps. The sweetness in the prawns after it was boiled was god send.

We went to Jonker’s Street for some window shopping, and eye washing for the guys. Stopped by 1 of the food stall for cendol, cause I was craving for it since my last visit to Malacca. It was just so darn good when you put in gula melaka.
… this was how the standard cendol looked like.
… fortunately, we were given a bottle of melted gula melaka at the owner’s expenses. You can’t put in as much as you like.
Rating: 0/10
It managed to chilled me, but doesn’t quench my thirst. It was a total disappointment. The so-called gula melaka, doesn’t have the fragrance like the real gula melaka. In fact, it was a little bitter. I guess it doesn’t live up to its reputation of being a cendol in Malacca. I gave it a negative point, but since the boss gave us the bottle of fake gula melaka, I decided to give it a zero.
What a shame!
