Road Trip - eat, eat and eat

Wishing you all a Happy New Year! : )
I went on a road trip with dearie, my best friend n her ah boy … it was fun – all the eating and sleeping … =P
Reached Malacca, checked in to the hotel where we will be staying…
Had brunch nearby – KFC … as one of the passengers was complaining that she was hungry. We decided to pacify her hunger before she gets too naggy/grouchy for our own good =P
Reached Mid Valley but it was really tough trying to find a parking lot there as I think the whole world is at MV … somehow, I have this feeling that MV is way bigger than Vivo City …
Wanted to try the “famous” Penang Laksa that dearie recommended but they were closed for break and we had to go back at 430pm (means we need to walk around the place for an hour plus before going back to the restaurant)
We did not waste time – we had doughnuts, coffee (one for one lei and it is super yummy), and a milk shake while walking and waiting. Wanted to have ice- cream but somehow, the ice cream store was super duper crowded and we gave that a miss.
We were the first customers to go in to the restaurant at 430pm … not really hungry but just want to try the food …. We ordered Penang laksa, curry noodle and lam mee … one lady at the other table was curious what my friend had and came over to ask – so we told her it is lam mee ….hahahaha ….
After the food, we thought of going to KLCC but we were tired and the thought of going around in public is not very enticing …. We did not want to drive as it would be very difficult to get parking lot … in the end we thought we should just buy champagne and drink for our countdown party back in the hotel room.
We bought chips, Champagne and cheese … before heading back to Malacca…. But the one and a half hour drive turned into a THREE hour drive …. By the time we got back, most of us are hungry but the shops were closed and thus we had to settle for MacDonald’s.
Counted down in the hotel room … most of us were stoned by then as we were on the road most of the day…. There were places displaying fireworks all around us but we only managed to hear the sound as the fireworks were mainly low ones … =P
Day 2
Woke up at 9am to get ready for breakfast ….at about 10am plus …
After that, we went in search for Chendol @ a Peranakan store …. Reached there but the man said the Chendol stuff is not here yet (the green jelly) and so, we hanged around the shop, bought some food, had a sour plum drink, chit chat while waiting for our chendols to be served … really yummy =)
Later, we went in search for the very famous chicken rice balls. I had heard of this many years ago but did not get to eat it … thanks to XP who had been craving for this dish since dunno when…. And to avoid her nagging at us for failing to eat the famous dish, the guys had to queue for a table while the two of us went to shop along the street … =)
The chicken rice balls are yummy and the chicken meat is smooth …Yummy =) after the “lunch” we made our way back to the hotel as we wanted to explore the new shopping area but I supposed going to Malacca means we must patronize the Peranakan food there. As the restaurant will close at 230pm, we decided to have another “lunch”. We managed to convince ourselves that 5 small rice balls and half a chicken is not enough for four of us … hee hee hee … so we ordered more food – prawns, chicken, egg, otak and veggie … we were like crawling out of the shop after the lunch – very satisfied!
We went shopping – to walk off the food before heading to the hotel to get the car.
On the way back, I was sleeping very soundly …. After reached JB, 3 of us got hungry again … or rather, our mouths are itchy for some food. … so we settled our dinner @ a small JB town
On the way back, I saw a mediacorp actor in the next lane – quite cute and he was with a girl that doesn’t look familiar …
Anyway, the trip was good as it was just four of us (small) and we have XP to thank for, for thinking of places to bring us to even though we kept “suaning” her during the trip =P
Also, thanks be to God who was with us throughout this journey, keeping us safe and giving us good weather for the drive. Thank you Lord. Amen. =)
