Melaka

Posted in Musings at 2:34 am by jadeite

Watched Jesus Camp last night, got home at 2am, and woke up at 6am to head out on our foodie trip in Melaka :)

Photos on my Facebook - I’ll upload on Flickr tomorrow when I’m more awake and post here!

Because I stupidly left my camera in the car, I don’t have photos of all the food we ate. :( But here’s the list!

1. Dim sum - pork ribs, chicken feet, fried tofu, eggplant with fish paste, siew mai, shui jing bao, carrot cake, char siew bao, da bao, etc
2. Laksa
3. Cendol, cendol, more cendol
4. Satay and iced coffee
5. Chicken rice balls
6. Peranakan food - buah keluah, sambal sotong, sambal eggplant, sambal everything, omelet with cincalok, duck soup, etc
7. Popiah - which we bought but I didn’t actually eat

So full of food. Insanely full. Bought back the most amazing nyonya sauce for Mom which tastes heavenly on steamed fish or sotong, and our favorite sambal belacan chilli. Woo!

And finally, on a sober note: I may be older, but not much wiser; how is it that an object lesson can be given so many times but the student never learns? To think before I speak, to deliberate before I act, to consider carefully consequences of things that cannot be undone once done.

There’s the lesson - learn it, and learn it well - and maybe then you won’t be given the hard lesson to learn countless times over.
