Eye on Malaysia - A Windmill?

Believe it...or not...yes, it's a windmill. A replica - not the real windmill. Why would Melaka own a windmill for anyway? Grind wheat? duh...don't be silly.


If you're a Malaysian, you'll know that the sign board above is not really pointing at that replica. Eye on Malaysia is one of Malaysia's famous landmark...or was it? still is? I don't know. I think it is still is. Eye on Malaysia- a Ferris Wheel, first located at Tasik Titiwangsa, Kuala Lumpur, which I think was great for the spectacular night view. In Melaka, it'll be for the sunset view. Although I haven't had the chance to ride on it...but I could guess the view from the top could be breathtaking.

Anyways, it was a day trip. Earlier that day, we went to a local shop where you can buy all sorts of local nyummies from the shop itself. I forgot what's the name of the shop but it is quite famous among the locals. It has its own hotel too ^^.

So after buying what were not actually needed. We went for satay culut?julut?lulut?curut? I had no idea, because I don't understand their chinese accent...and don't really bother knowing how to pronounce the word. Let's just call it Satay with Peanut Gravy. SPG in short, aye?


The place is famous...it was not even 7pm it's already crowded...haih...


And you think it was not my day? Nah...we had a place to sit. This photo was taken as we left the shop with big bellies..we were early and lucky. 


This is the peanut gravy..the gravy is in a long cylinder pot where at the bottom of the pot is a stove to heat the gravy. Why? To cook your food la..like steamboat. And once in a while the employee would come over to stir the gravy to avoid gravy sticking at the bottom of the pot.

At first I thought it was going to taste disgusting to dip all kinds of balls (fish, meat), seafood. Because I thought it was a weird combination to dip clams in peanut gravy...what do you think? But it taste so yummy! ^^ I couldn't help myself..and gobbled up all the clams..and seafood cost RM1 per stick.



And...so the table was full...we can take as much as we want...wah...heaven..I even forgot that I was supposed to lose weight...but I have no regrets..I'll go there again and eat all I want ^^.


Psst...not only the gravy taste superb...the 'liang cha' and 'yau char kwai' taste yummy too.^^
Oh one more...


The name of the shop..Ban Lee Siang..I forgot what's the name of the street but it is opposite an SDA church.


So, we were lost while on the way to Jonker's street...left the shop when the day was bright...


arrived when it was already dark...even though my companions were born in Melaka but they did not grow up at the place they were born.
As we walked... The colour of the building caught my attention so I took a photo of it...and...

Fuhyo...lajunye kereta itu...

Didn't take much pic along Jonker Street because it was too crowded...and I was so tired and unhappy because it was not enough. I'm going back there again later this month and walk all I want. ^^
