I was driving around the city but I suddenly had the urge to go for a ride in the Bukit Beruang area. You see, Bukit Beruang is not exactly 5 minutes away from where I’m staying so I haven’t drive at that area for quite sometime.

I think it’s been 1 and a half year I haven’t enter the housing area because I always stroll around the Money Making University whenever my late brother sits for his tests or examination. I ashamed to say I felt like a jakun in my own state because I was actually amused to see many restaurants are mushrooming in that area.

Blame it on my laziness to drive because I normally hang around in the vicinity of the older town of Malacca. Near mah, only 5 minutes drive. I can even walk there ok? Going back to the Bukit Beruang topic, I was amazed to see vast changes ever since the construction of the new road is completed.

Don’t mind me for being a jakun because I like paying attention to details. I’m glad to see more eateries because it means I can bring my oversea friends to makan there once they are sick of the food in the older parts of Malacca.

ps:- sorry no pictures because I was too busy eating in Taman Kerjasama (Cooperative Park), Bukit Beruang.

I had the most expensive dinner yesterday. But I’ve already expected such rate because that’s the standard price for such restaurant. It’s still expensive for Malacca’s standard. It’s a chinese seafood restaurant. It’s not surprising if such places are only packed on weekends and weddings.  Food was not bad but I should have gone to a better restaurant that serve the same type of food. I have pictures of the dishes but I’ll upload it when I have the time later.

Have you heard about the recent news about the shark fin’s ban from the menu? I really supported their move considering the shark population is dropping rapidly. But it brings me back to one question. What about the fake shark fins? Well you know, the Uncle Ho designed a fake one to taste exactly like shark fin and it’s not made of any body part of sharks.

Hmmm okay, fake is making it sound like it’s made from Petaling Street or something. Just call ‘alternative’ then. Going back to the dish, it’s sorta like vegetarian food where the chef made it taste exactly like meat. Instead of shark fins, they replaced it with some other ingredient that made it taste like one.

Well that’s how certain restaurants con people by charging the real shark fins soup rate for a bowl of alternative ones. So will the ministry ban the alternative shark fin soup from the menu as well? I mean I still want to enjoy my shark fin soup without any actual shark fins in it. Am I making any sense?

I made a mistake. The CM is coming. Not the mayor. I wonder why he had some much time to come to officiate a small project near to my place. Sans the merdeka celebration, I do think it’s an indication the general election is looming. Whatever it is, it means there’ll be free food. The time is too early for me to get up from my sleep because I normally still wander around Dreamland at that particular time frame.

Warning to my muslim friends, non halal food ahead.

Mention Malacca, Chinese Malaysians from various states would think of Satay Celup and Chicken Rice Scrotum. Thinking of them alone is enough to create a new water fall on your jaw. Although one of the most famous satay celup restaurants are only few steps away from where I live, believe it or not I have not ate there for more than 2 years. Don’t get me wrong, I like satay celup but I have a weird habit.

I only go there when my relatives or friends from outstation come to Malacca. Chicken Rice Scrotum I mean balls on the other hand is a normal occurance in my dietary programme. Contrary to unpopular belief, I do not patronize the shitty Chung Wah and the uber shite Famosa restaurant for my weekly scrotum fix. Famosa is famous for their tasteless and cut throat prices while Chung Wah has finally attained cult status for their lousy service and their mediocre balls.

I seriously cannot fathom why many people would have the patience to queue up just to get their faces spat by these odious waiters. Well, maybe they know something I don’t. IMHO, Hoe Kee (not to be mistaken as hooker) is a safer bet than Chung Wah for tourists who are looking forward to get some decent balls. Taste however can be pretty subjective and some people might prefer the latter over the former. So you are free to disagree.

To be honest, these two restaurant is not my favorite joint because I prefer the one located in Melaka Baru. I’m not going to review their balls since I have yet to snap any photos of that place. Today, I’m going back to the basics and I’ll just talk about Hainanese Chicken rice instead.

The headless cikens reminds me of a scene from Apocalypto. Watch the movie then you’ll know why.

The Ciken Lice is quite simple, nothing extravagant, and yet it’s delicious. Did I mentioned it’s cheap? Sometimes I get pretty sick of sucking balls all day long, having a simple chicken rice meal can be equally satisfying enough for my taste butt. You can pick either steam or roast ciken but I generally enjoy both depending on my mood.

Poor Ciken being decapitated on the sacrificial altar. Should you boycott Ciken Lice after this? Should you?!?! Should you?!?!

You choose either one. You can have it with balls if you want. But I wouldn’t recommend it because making balls is not their forte. If you are all for balls conquest, then I’m sorry to say you have to look elsewhere to satisfy your fetish. There are two things I love the most about this ciken lice. It’s the soup and the chili sauce. Not many ciken lice joint in Malacca excel in the soup department. I have a soup fetish. Nothing is more satisfying than having a nice soup to drink after a satisfying meal.

If Leonardo Da Vinci was a chef Dan Brown would come out with The Da Vinci Balls.

A chicken rice is not complete without the presence of chicken. Am I making sense?

Amputated Chicken Feet with different kind of balls.

If you wish to have a nice chicken rice, do drop by the hawker centre located beside The Store (formerly known as Fajar). It’s too hard to miss it. If you do, you should get your eyes check at the nearest optometrist.

You can find gold here.

I think the picture alone is enough to tell you where it is. For non Malaccans, you can ask the locals where Legacy Hotel is. Should they refuse, by all means please shoot them. There is two ciken lice stalls though. Simply look for the stall in one of the pictures above. Better beware of the other stall because they have the unbeatable quality of Famosa Ciken Lice.
