Alhamdulillah the Fantastic Four aka MASK + family overnite trip to Melaka was a fulfilling & blessed one. This time our trip was completed ( as in...u complete me) by the attendance of the Ampang loving couple (Amri~Fiza) who celebrated Fiza's 32nd bday. Our wishes of longevity love, health & wealth goes to her...amin. We were happy to be pampered with pieces of Secret Recipe cakes + tit bits from the loving couple, even tho we were blocks apart. Our trip was also completed by the presence of Pakcik & Makcik Abdullah who was just distance away from us, in Kmpg Pernu.
With Melaka comes IKAN BAKAR & we hearthily filled our tummies with jenahaks, belanak (bro aje!), pari (1/2 returned), cuttlefish, prawns, mixed vege, nasi lemak, jars of sugar cane & lime syrup at Umbai. Thanks once again to the loving couple & to the employee of SME Bank for topping up half of the ridiculous bill...RM350.0 (Congrats SME Bank for a well-deserved salary adjustment).
From Umbai, we drove back to Banda Hilir, drivin thru long-winded one way routes looking for the Melaka River Cruise jetty. Sailing thru the 9km river for 45 minutes, the boat trip proved worth the fee of Rm10 per adult & RM5 per child above 2 yrs of age, especially for Iju & Jija who also had the chance to taste the water...yucks!
With Melaka too comes ROTI CANAI BAKAR which the gents & boys had their breakfast at the stall itself while women & girls ate it at the apartment. Being considerate people, we didn't want to trouble the pakcik with our large crowd!! Again TQ to the loving couple for allowing some of our children to accompany them for breakfast at the hotel and then brought them straight to the pool. The rest of us joined in later & the water was indeed cooling enough for our bodies.
With Melaka also comes its ASAM PEDAS. Since the claypot asam pedas rest was closed, we stuck to our initial iteanary & drove to Bukit Katil, lead by Rafik. It was a truly satisfying lunch at a considerable price of RM117.0 We started off with rice, followed by the must-try cekodok pisang (RM2), cucur udang (2 biji), kuih keria (4 ketul) & tapai pulut; all cicah with asam pedas.
We were lucky to have a professional photographer with us...Nasa, who willingly took pictures whenever he could. Still we hope the pictures will be develop for us to look at in due time...
Just as i enjoyed writing this blog while munching Iju's kerepek (TQ matey), hope everyone else enjoyed themselves in Melaka.
TQ Anis for the ole-ole from Bkt Tinggi.........oops....i meant Medan...huahaha...
