Bak chang

On the left is pulut hitam and we boil this pulut hitam with the gula melaka next to it and coconut santan to make a real nice sweet dessert.  Err, do we mix the gula melaka with the pulut hitam or am I mistaken?

Spread this kaya on toasted bread with butter and you get a real mouth watering breakfast.

Now, I don’t understand why but Ah Loot and a lot of Malacca people insist that the best Kopi-O comes from Malacca.  I’m not much of a Kopi drinker but I tried this one.  Well, this one I can give a skip.

Kopi-O

These are some of the nyonya kuih Ah Loot bought from Baba Charlie’s place.

The otak-otak was delicious.

To Kedai Satay Xiang Ji…..

They serve satay babi (barbecued pork).  Looks nice.

No satay is complete without the cucumber, big onions and compact rice.  Can’t show you the compact rice because the picture was so blur, you can’t see much of anything.

Cucumber and onions

The satay sauce is different from the one in KL, as it has a bit of sourish taste.

Lastly, they ended up at one of their former classmate’s house for durian.  The durian costs RM12 per kilo, real expensive.  But doesn’t it look simply delicious?  Yummy, yummy.

Earth Hour has come and gone in Malaysia.  I went out with my mom at 7.30 p.m. to a shopping mall nearby.  I had thought of going to the Curve but then it rained earlier and I was felt too lazy to venture too far away.  Ah Loot has gone to Malacca and the younger members in my family had their own plans.   So, there was just me and my mom. 

The mall that we went to didn’t participate in the Earth Hour and there weren’t many shoppers there either.   We went to Guardian Pharmacy to get some things and then to McDonald’s for ice cream.  Finally, we went to Giant supermarket to shop for groceries.  And then we stopped by Secret Recipe for some cake.  All the shops there were fully lighted, so I guess there’s not much awareness going on here.   We went home at around 10 p.m. and my two cats were waiting for us outside the house in total darkness.  They must be wondering what’s going on.
