I left my heart in Melaka

Was browsing through my favourite food blog, Eating Asia. Two foreigners who loved South East Asian cuisine so much, their writing and photos on their blog are sheer poetry. Lo and behold, they posted about Melaka's famous Chicken Rice Balls. I haven't seen these for years! Coincidentally, was chatting with KC the other day and both of us were torturing each other with googled Chicken Rice Balls pics.

Back in the hall days, we sometimes do makan trips up to Melaka and none will be complete without partaking some of these Chicken Rice balls.

Once, there must be 10-12 of us who made the trip up to Melaka for a huge makan trip. Days passed in a haze of roti canai breakfast, mid-morning break, lunch, tea-time culminating in dinner. Of course, durians must be consumed.

Highlights includes a delectable Peranakan meal at Mako, with it's crispy fried fish slattered in moreish sambal, satay celup where we were almost frightened to touch the sides of the pot and of course, those chicken rice balls.

After Melaka, it was off to Genting Highlands for the few of us and for me, a stopover alone in KL, which is another story altogether.....
