Food Hunt: Klebang Original Coconut Shake, Malacca
Dear All,
Welcome back to yet another edition of Food Hunt and today our food hunt continues in Malacca and today is our second and our final day at Malacca. Our main purpose of this trip is to look for Malacca's hidden gem of great food and our next stop would be the very famous Klebang Original Coconut Shake. We have not heard this anywhere but in Malacca it has. This is another great food that was recommended by my brother Alan Leow. We drive through from Malacca town heading towards Klebang and takes about 10 minutes to reach. Not far though. We reach there around 1.30pm and it's pretty crowded as it's the lunch hour but still left a few seats and tables left unoccupied.
Once we reach the restaurant, we saw there are 2 counters setup, one is the take away which is along the roadside where you can queue and buy directly from there and if you plan to dine in, do park your car inside and then walk towards the restaurant. There's ample parking space available but if you come during peak hours or season, hardly you can find parking over there. Also if you plan to take away especially during hot season and weekends, you will find the queue is about 500m to 1km long. Imagine how famous this coconut shake is.
We reach the restaurant and this is what we've ordered:
1.) Nasi Lemak Bungkus (RM1.20 per pack) X 2
2.) Keropok Lekor (RM2.00) (6 pieces)
3.) Coconut Shake Special (RM2.20 per glass) X 2
Besides Nasi Lemak and Keropok Lekor, there are various tidbits for you to enjoy ranging from kuih's to rice or mee hoon and all is self service. You choose and pick up yourself what you want to eat and then pay at the counter including the ordering of Coconut Shake itself. Despite the crowd, the servings of the Coconut Shake is fast as they continuously produce in large quantities.

Food Hunt: Restoran Sea Front 88 (Stall No.4), Portuguese Settlement, Malacca
Dear All,
Welcome back to yet another edition of Food Hunt. Today ME & Kimmy were at Malacca craving for food and finally we reached dinner time and not to be missed is our journey to Portuguese Settlement located at the hearts of Malacca town. We reached the Portuguese Settlement at about 7.00pm and it was pretty crowded. Once we enter the parking zone, a charge of RM1 for the parking fees and it's very reasonable indeed. Out of a sudden when you stepped out from your car, a bunch of people came towards you asking you to eat at their stalls as they try to promote their stalls. Don't be surprise about that. Then we walk towards the isle where you can enjoy the breathtaking view of the Straits Of Malacca and take some photos there as well. There's also a mini jetty where you can walk towards the jetty and then take some photos and take a closer look at the sea.
Then we head towards the Stall No.4 at the Food Court and here we found the Restaurant Sea Front 88. This is recommended by a few bloggers and my colleagues. We sat down and immediately we were served. It was not crowded at that time around 7.15pm and the crowd starts to pick up after 8.00pm and full. Of course their customer service is their top priority as there are so many stalls there and they are afraid you run off to other stalls. We were shown the menu and then this is what we've ordered:
1.) Portuguese Baked Stingray Fish (RM25.00)
2.) Belacan Spinach (RM8.00)
3.) Squid Fritters (RM12.00)
4.) Rice (RM2.00)
5.) Watermelon Juice (RM3.00) ; Carrot Milk Juice (RM3.00) ; Mango Juice (RM3.00) (Fresh)
We waited for about 10 minutes and the food were served. A plate of rice (servings for two persons) arrived together with the Belacan Spinach. The Belacan Spinach is just average and nothing so special about it. It's a little salty with some spicy taste. Next the Squid Fritters arrive. The Squid Fritters is a must try as it's crunchy and the squids are fresh too. Finally came the Portuguese Baked Stingray Fish where it took about 25 minutes for it to arrive probably it takes time to cook this fish. The taste is nice and it's a bit salty and most importantly it's spicy and nice to eat. We like the taste too.
Fresh Mango Juice (RM3.00) |
Fresh Watermelon & Carrot Milk Juice (RM3.00 each) |
Portuguese Baked Stingray Fish (RM25.00) |
Belacan Spinach (RM8.00) |
Squid Fritters (RM12.00) |

Food Hunt: Baba Low Restaurant, Jalan Tengkera, Malacca
Hi All,
Welcome back to yet another edition of Food Hunt. Today ME & Kimmy had apparently visited Malacca to hunt for food and this is our main purpose to come here. We search and ask through our friends what food is nice in Malacca and we are set to go. After we reached Malacca at about 1.45pm, we then proceed to look for our lunch and Baba Low Restaurant is our choice. This restaurant is located along Jalan Tengkera and what is this restaurant famous for? This restaurant is famous for its Nyonya Laksa Noodles. Besides they stall is selling Nyonya Laksa, they also sell Mee Siam, Popiah and Pai Tee. I heard all of the food here is nice and the signature food would be the Nyonya Laksa.
We reach Baba Low's at about 2.00pm and the place is not crowded as it's already pass the peak lunch hour. We went straight to the counter and order what food we want. This is what we've ordered:
1.) Nyonya Laksa X 2 (RM4.00 per bowl)
2.) Barley Ice X 2 (RM1.30 per cup)
We did not have to wait long and the food and drinks arrived in the same times after 5 minutes waiting. Good service though. The Nyonya Laksa looks tempting as the gravy looks thick and nice before I try it. After I put into my mouth, the taste was nice and special as it's spicy and salty and it's totally different from our Curry Laksa here. It's something new that we have not tried back here in Kuala Lumpur and it's a good recommendation from my friends. The Barley Ice meanwhile is nice too and not too sweet. It's a homemade Barley Ice and it's healthy too.

Dear All,
Welcome back to yet another edition of Food Hunt and today we are at Kepong to find what are the best food around. We have visited Six Inch Cafe located at Kepong to find out what are the best food they offered. We reached the cafe at around 7.30pm and it's crowded. Every day from 8.00pm till 11.00pm, there will be LIVE Bands which will entertain its customers with mostly mandarin and English songs for you to listen. Not bad though.
We manage to find a place and then we looked at the menu. This is what we've ordered:
1.) Cheese Baked Italian Style Chicken Chop Rice (RM15.50)
2.) 6 Inch Onion Dog (RM7.50)
3.) Fried Abalone Mushroom (RM7.90)
4.) Watermelon Juice (RM 6.50)
5.) Korean Citron Tea (RM4.90)
We waited for about 10 minutes and the food arrives and it's pretty fast too. Despite a lot of people, their waiter and waitress are sufficient and great service too. Let's go straight to the food review. The Cheese Baked Italian Style Chicken Chop Rice is a must try when you are here. This meal is nice where you can taste heavy cheesy with heavy taste of Italian sauce that comes with Chicken Chop Rice. I do love it. Very recommended to order. Meanwhile the 6 Inch Onion Dog is also a must try as Kimmy told alexleow-kimmy that this is a signature dish and it's very tasty. Of course I did give it a try and it was really good as well. The hotdog meanwhile is perfectly cooked and filled with lots of onion and the onion taste is nice too. Another recommended dish to order. Next is the Fried Abalone Mushroom where this is our tidbits. It was nice and crunchy and it's recommended to order too. About the drinks, it does not dissapoints as well. The Fresh Watermelon Juice is very fresh and lovely. It's not too sweet and you can taste it's freshness as well. About the Korean Citron Tea, it was also nice. The aroma of the tea was simply awesome and according to Kimmy once you drink the tea, you will feel refreshed. Even it can be refilled but as you refilled for the second time, the taste has gone down a bit. The portion meanwhile is above average and it's just nice. Check out the photos on the actual size of the portion of the food.

What is Black Magic Plug Power? Its a plug & play device on the plug cable/plug coil wires to improve current flow by filtering noise from the wires/cable. Must try to believe what it can do! Easy to install on bike or cars. This device purposes is to filter off high frequency from the cable before going into the plug coil and then to the plug for much cleaner and powerful spark. It enhance the pick up power and acceleration. Plug and play. Easy to remove, no cutting of wires. Guaranteed improved performance or money back. It also makes your engine more smoother and more quieter too as well.
Special thanks to Kevin Teo Hui Wei from Eco Asia Global Sdn. Bhd. who recommend me this product. Let me give you some results on my current drive. I am driving a Saga BLM and I have installed this device onto my car and have try for about 4 days and results are very satisfying. Previously my engine was loud and noisy and after installing the Black Magic Plug Power, the engine noise reduced and seriously I have a smoother drive and on top of that I can feel the car more response as well.

____________________________________________________________
My Comments: Today ME & Kimmy are both at 1 Utama to catch a movie as I am a big fan of Wayne Lai of TVB. We purposely choose this movie and we watch it at GSC 1 Utama. This movie starring the famous TVB actor Wayne Lai as well as Singaporean Henry Thia, Ah Nam and Malaysian Singer Karen Kong. This is a low budget movie to be exact and then I do not put high expectation on this movie. It talks about beggars who lived in the streets of Penang and how they survived and to tackle the Ah Long's in the street. The storyline is draggy and not up to the expectations. Personally I think only Wayne Lai did a very job in acting while others did not perform up to expectations. The movie was rather boring and not much action can be seen. I nearly slept while watching this movie but at least my idol Wayne Lai did cheer me up and without him in this movie, it would be a rubbish movie. I would not recommend you to watch this movie as it's boring and if you are a Wayne Lai fans, then you can have an option to support your idol. Enjoy! MY RATING: 3/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 3.5/5
