Talking craps

It seems like many people are on the trend of blogging about various kinds of mouth-watering food nowadays. But i really have very little idea on what to write about food, neither i have the patience to wait until i finish taking photos of every single angle on my food nor i have a tongue which is as sensitive as my eyes in gals-hunting.

Well, back to 3 years later....when i just stumbled my steps on Malacca to further my education in tertiary level. I found out an obvious different between food at my hometown and local food here...that is the Baba and Nyonya style.


cendol malacca

The baba nyonya cendol is slightly different that other cendol which you can found on the other states in Malaysia. Its specialty is the additional thick-brownish-sticky layer of so called gula Malacca on the top of the cendol. Try to conjure up an image whereby the gula Malacca is slightly yellowish in colour?? what can you imagine with?? hahaha`~~same as me?? Topping the ice shake of cendol, gula Malacca and condensed milk make the perfect combination of taste.

Another delicacy which is well known in Malacca is the baba nyonya laksa. See.....every delicacy in baba nyonya style is different, and nicer as well. Mayb Macdonald should come out with a new set of Meal, baba nyonya big Mac....

With two baba nyonya beef patties,
special baba sauce, lettuce,
cheese, pickles, onions
on a sesame seed nyonya bun....



Baba laksa and nyonya laksa are the two different kinds of laksa served in Malacca. Baby laksa is the one with curry soup and nyonya laksa is the one served in asam soup. You all can get the best laksa and cendol of Malacca at Jonket Street. Hmm...anywhere i forget what the shop name already.....hahaha....



Another famous delicacy in Malacca is the oyster omelette which we usually called "Oh jian" in Hokkien. It is the mixture of oysters, some flour powder and well-stirred egg being fried on a big hot pan. The oyster omelette is always being served with its special chili sauce which tasted spicy yet a bit sour. At Malacca, what i know is a shop at Jalan bunga raya makes the best oyster omelette in town. I was told that the Oh jian making skill is passed down from great grandfather to grandfather and to father to son and to grandson and to great grandson....ermm..not really clear have been passed for how many hierarchies.



And trust me, seafood at Malacca isn't cheap at all. Don't think that Malacca is located by the Strait of Malacca and it will subsequently turn into a seafood paradise.

Anywhere, i am not gonna write about food at Malacca today. It is just some of the experiences which i would like to share with you all. Maybe after exam i am too boring or whatever, i actually congregated all those hard liquor that i drank this year. Take note!! this year only...until May 2008, excluding those i drank few years before. So, here comes the first



MARTELL- NOBLIGE COGNAC....a liquor with 40% alcohol/ vol..Why Noblige Cognac?? But why don't Ahgab Cognac?? Nobligue, is a reference to the old French saying "Noblesse Oblige", encapsulates the duty of commitment incumbent on people of high rank...That's why I drink Nobligue Cognac, high ranked. hahaha~~



HENNESSY X.O - Its a stereotypical liquor where all of you gonna drink during chinese new year, if you are a drinker la. And yes, of course, i drank it at Chinese New Year 2008. With 40% alcohol/ vol, its enough to make me feel tipsy, and luckily it doesn't make me puke in front of my friends.



jack Daniel, which i always drink at pub. But didn't even manage to bring am empty bottle back.



And same goes to Johnny Walker Black Label...as both of them are quite cheap in price if compare to other liquor, so only manage to drink them inside pub lah....hahaha



And here goes the unique one. Highland Malt Scotch Whisky, which is bottled in Scottland and comes along with a special bag with it. The bag looks some sort like a big condom which able for you to put in a big bottle of whisky inside it.haha~~so instead of using Durex extrasafe, i suggest you all to buy a bottle of this whisky and use its bag as your safety precautions. It is super-duper-ultra-extra safe with the wall of the bad which is as thick as this..



See....its really safe. But i don't know yours is big enough to size in the bag or not lah...But i confirm the whisky bottle is of course can be sized in...



And after finishing up those liquor inside, maybe i should pack all my study stuffs in my condom bag and go study at my campus. Quite "yeng" also.



Instead of using my old lousy bag to go campus



Or maybe i should bring both??? with my water bottle inside my condom bag, and my files,pencil case and calculator inside my old lousy bag.



Hmm...water bottle?? Maybe i should get myself a new one, instead of using the bottle of CACTUS mineral water.



Yeah, thats the way~! I like drinking in this way. I should have use that X.O bottle. And here comes the collection of stuff inside my bag..



Not bad right??Hard liquor not only manage to "satisfy" us but it is useful with its left over product.
