Sometimes all you need is a great friend, a car and a place to go to to eat great food.
Here are 3 meals we had on our first day in Melaka for lunch. We did the typical tourist thing and hung out at Jonker street. We started with chicken rice balls and an assortment of side dishes which included kailan in garlic and otak-otak (fish fillet cooked in spices and coconut milk) yumm. We then headed over to have the ever so famous ABC. Its a mixture of asorted jelly, sweet corn, red bean, topped with shaven ice and drizzled with syrup, melted palm sugar and evaporated milk.. refreshing and sweet!!
After walking around we found this quaint little shop where this old lady was making onde-onde. Its basically tapioca flour mixed with pandan juice rolled around a palm sugar rock. Its boiled in salty water for no more then a minute and tossed in fresh coconut shavings. The sensations of eating this dessert/snack is like a poping bursting sensation in your mouth of a creamy, sweet, slighlty perfumy silky and salty ball. Its amazing!!
