Melaka - Food

(Continuing on Melaka posts)

While I did try looking for things to do, there weren't many which suited us.  Which left our main activity as FOOD.  Some places we went to...

Coffee and pastries at The Stolen Cup:  Cosy place with decent food. It wasn't cheap though - the croissant with strawberries and cream cost almost RM18.  The mixed berries pastry was procured by hubby who didn't notice the price.  I estimate it wasn't far off as they did use fresh blueberries and blackberries.  Overall it was good stuff, and I was excited seeing these lovely pastries appearing on our table together with a cappucino, but will probably try other places next time.

Mmmm pastries and coffee!

The Daily Fix was a repeat visit for us.  It is so popular that there's a queue almost all the time.  I gave up on the first day.  Luckily we did stay VERY close so I set an alarm the next morning and managed to get everyone there within 10mins of its opening time hehe.  Talk about kiasu!  

Ordered the big breakfast (okay), the smoked duck sandwich (okay), spicy spaghetti (not good - hubby's choice) and chocolate chip pancakes (will return for this alone!).  Story of the spaghetti:  It tasted like chilli prawn oil from a jar stirred into spaghetti. and was too spicy even for hubby.  I asked for the leftovers to be packed since there was a lot, and got charged 80sen for the packaging haha.  Then I put this into my bag and walked the rest of the morning with it.  The next morning when I opened the box, the contents smelled a bit 'off'.  Ate a bit only as I didn't want to risk a tummy-ache.  Confirmed it  wasn't nice at all so it was with some relief that I tossed this into the bin.  So this spaghetti totally had the last laugh!

Mmm chocolate chip pancakes

After a couple of days of street and cafe food, we finally had a 'usual' meal.  Walked to Atlantic for a nyonya-style dinner.  Only to find that it had a big carpark so we could have easily driven there instead.  Enjoyed the pandan rice, ladies fingers and petai prawns.  The chicken rendang was not bad but rather too heavy for us.  Can consider a repeat visit for this place.

Not bad, not bad
