Satay Celup Ban Lee Siang, Melaka

I like this so much, the sauce to cook all the food is so special and yummy. Why called satay celup, I think is because you cook all the stuff in satay sauce.

Ban Lee Siang that located at Jalan Ong Kim Wee at Melaka. Better go early if you don't like to queue for a table, before 7pm.



Variety of food. 


Every stick cost yout 50 sen and those with red paint in the end cost 60 sen.




If you are bringing your kids and they cannot take spicy food, can ask for water to wash away the sauce. 


Yummy, i love it, should give it a try the next time you go to Melaka. 

By the way, this shop is quite near to Jonker street.

Tangkak, Johor, Malaysia

Tangkak, a small town located at near to Melaka (about 45 minutes drive). Main attraction is the Gunung Ledang which is famous from the legend "Puteri Gunung Ledang"

There is a nice waterfall at Gunung Ledang, will post that later.

Tangkak also famous for the local food.
Once you reach there, you can see shops selling fabric everywhere, for dress or curtains and such in very affordable price




In the middle of the town you can see this little shop 1948, should try their local coffee. not bad


Bus and taxi station of the town.


more updates on the food to try next....

Jonker Walk, Melaka

Located in the heart of Melaka town, Jalan Hang Jebat. Located a night market named Jonker Walk. I have heard it from me friends for quite some times and now only I went there for a walk myself.

Find it quite different from others night market in KL town. The things that they marketed there, more to antique and hand made stuff. Lots of food stall and local most famous, pineapples tarts.And of course a lot of people.

You will know once you reach there as there will be traffic jam from 500 meter away, and you can see jonker walk signage everywhere.

1)
lots of MAMEE advertisement.










See, you will see jonker sign everywhere......

Nice and cosy restaurant everywhere, and lots of them served local delicacies which i find it quite interesting, I will give it a try on my next visit







There is a boutique hotel right directly at Jonker walk, very convenience Jonker boutique hotel

Look beautiful too....I didn't stay there, so I cannot comment on the hotel...




Saw this piggy-bank, which is not a piggy but a food. Look so real and beautiful

Eagle Ranch Resort, Port Dickson

Located at Port Dickson. I spend a night there with my family. Eagle ranch resort
I don't know why I can manage to take a photo without any people inside. Quite fully book on the day I went. Look like a ghost town?





reception


What a fruits....


I stayed at Bandwagon. they got 4 types of rooms. I think Bandwagon and tepee is the cheepest.

Tips for Bandwagon: Request for ground room, cooler and they some they have chairs outside.
Upstairs room are hotter, but you get another "floor"(photo below)


Inside bandwagon: toilet, not very clean.


2 single beds. Tv without cable channel. only local channel


See the stairs to upstairs, another small area up there, about 6'x10'. I didn't go up cos super duper hot and humid up there. like sauna


Activities at the resort.

1) volleyball (foc) Can get the ball from the counter


2) horse cart- super expensive RM10 per pax, Kid below 3 is free


Go Cart - RM 20 for 5 rounds (the round not very big)


3) Canoe - RM 20 for 30 minutes


4) Archery - RM 10 for 15 arrows


5) Horse Riding - RM 10 for 2 laps
6) paint ball - RM 45
7) obstacle course and management games (min 15 pax)
you can find the activities and pricing in the website. As my conclusion, this resort are not meant for family vacation, cos mostly the activites need 15 pax minimun and the price not cheap (expensive)
The beach are located 10 minutes away. The water are not really clean

Look clean? is not



Kampung House. Also the place for canoe. The water dirty


My kids on horse riding





Kids on go-kart


The pool


And Jacuzzi


Can see why I said the water is dirty....


Obstacle with flygin fox I guess, Didn't try cos RM 20 for one element. total about 15 parts and will cost RM 300 per person to finish one round.... oh my gosh, crazy....


Archery.


Tepee, no toilet attached. shared toilet outside


Log cabin....


I had my dinner the hotel too, price range from RM 12 (fried noodle and rice) to RM 20 (western food)
My conclusion are:
1) Promotional room rates are cheap but once you are there, all the games are so expensive
2) Suitable for groups adult and not family with kids (lots of activities need 15 pax)
3) Once is enough, will not go back again
