Muar-hahahaha (2).

Dinner at Bukit Bakri, eat until so full that my stomach felt like exploding before heading for a short stroll at the other side of Tanjung Emas where lots of people can be seen fishing. There's a large field somewhere along the man-made shore where we spent quite an amount of time trying to fly a kite with lightnings in the distance, blowing soap bubbles which according to some were really addictive and flying spinner that looks like those buluh terbangs from Doraemon. Lots of kids were seen riding electronic karts as well. Random images of food ahead, sorry for the bad quality, was really hungry until hand shaking lols.

fried beehoon with crab and loads of mini crab shells pieces which I accidentally but continouosly bit into OUCH

brandon's favourite stir fried vegetables, it was not really the vegetables that he enjoys but some other ingredients in it. hint - lards

fried calamari yang super best, dish gone in record time like chipsmore cookies

fried spring rolls woot

another speciality, prawn meehoon in claypot woo hoo

this is actually chicken wings in special sauce that I really like but in this picture it looked like piles after piles of shit so sorry

'wut put' that is different from the ones we normally have in KL, its braised sweet sourish pork as filling if I'm not mistaken

Didn't bring camera out, so this is the only picture that I have from the quick stroll @ Tanjung Emas that lasted 3 hours until 1am-ish of Jacklyn blowing bubbles yang tak berapa jadi. That might be Hikaru and Jen in the background purchasing the kite.


Ah So, the following morning, we departed to Malacca for a super short trip which was only about 35 minutes plus drive from Muar. Our one and only destination, our sole purpose, was to head to Jonker dessert in Jonker Street to have many, many bowls of cendols with loads of gula melaka yums!!! Walking around the streets did bring back lots of memory of the times I was last there during my graduation ceremony.

To be honest, for the whole year I was in MMU to do my foundations back then, I never did venture out of Bukit Beruang much, I wonder why. Only upon graduating from my degree (bout 3 years plus later) did I try my first ever satay celup, seafood at Portuguese village, the midnight char siew rice, walking along Jonker street, the over-commercialized chicken rice balls, visiting Mahkota Parade and all those stuff. Guess I wasn't much of an adventurous guy.

After the makan-makan, we headed home. Enough of my endless grandfather stories, to think that I'm still quite young but have so much to say. Random pictures ahead.


Jonker Dessert, everyone's favourite place. On the left is the stall selling cendol while the stall on the right sells various types of noodles, that's Brandon and Cherrie btw with Jen, Junn and Hikaru in the background

old old old old old skool interior

my bowl of Chicken Baba Laksa or Baba Chicken Laksa, looks more like curry noodle with curry chicken to me but still very sedaps

the oh so heavenly bowl of cendol, this is before I taruh all the gula melaka. Kena marah from Jacklyn also because taruh a lot, huhuhu

accecories from a random souvenir shop where the uncle kept spinning gasing of various sizes and designs for us to see, free demonstration woh

Jacklyn with the largest pineapple tart in Malaysia, not edible one okay. Freshly baked tarts in the background, the aroma so tantalizing

traffic jam in Malacca town


And with this entry ends the 2 part series of Muar-hahahaha. A very big thank you to Mr and Mrs Heng aka Brandon and Cherrie for sacrificing their weekend to layan us, guiding us around Muar and Malacca, bringing us to makan all the sedap-sedap foods and making a huge mess out of your rooms, lols. Very Kam Siah Lu. Now, to plan for the next road trip, hehehe.
