Well, depending on how many days leave parents can get as well as vacation budget, people go to different places. When I was a kid, I used to go to Malaysia quite a bit. Because my parents were always busy, I had school camps (READ: Band camp wtf ) etc, and we just couldn't really afford the time to be away for long.
I remember one place we love, and I still enjoy going to this place heaps now even as an adult , Malacca. Or some might spell it as Melaka.
When I went back to Singapore recently in October for a week, we made a trip there despite it being super rushed. It was essentially a food trip which I've spent the bulk of my off days planning. The whole trip just consist of eating and walking and eating.
We stayed at Hatten Hotel, which is a really nice hotel. I remember choosing between 3 - Hotel Equatorial ( we always stayed there), Hatten Hotel and Imperial Heritage.
We decided to go with Hatten because we heard it's newer.
And boy I wasn't disappointed with this junior suite room !
They also have a small infinity pool! I specially bought a swimsuit from the sports shop at the shopping complex just below the Hotel to use this pool.
Because I've never been to a hotel with an infinity pool before *cries*
And, if Team Australia was staying in the same hotel, you can be assured that it's a quality Hotel. They were there to play against Syria for the world cup qualifiers. Hence, their team managers will definitely choose a hotel that's safe, and where sleep comfort is guaranteed. My dad had a picture with one of Team Australia. He's pretty good looking yes? hahah.
Anyway, I love Yong Tau Foo, and so does the rest of my tour group ( my family + my aunty's family). And where else to eat Yong Tau Foo in Melaka apart from the famous Restoran Bee Bee Hiong?!
There aren't many choices to begin with as you can see from the menu board. But I guess when we are eating Yong Tau Foo, we all just basically go for the fish paste and the fish balls.
Like every Yong Tau Foo restaurant, their noodles come in either dry or soup. I tried both the dry kuey teow + yellow mee mix and the kuey teow + yellow mee soup and my verdict it, GET THE DRY !!!
It's mixed in with soy sauce, fried shallot, spring onions and PORK LARD ( Super unhealthy, but SUPER GOOD! I guess we can all let our hair down during vacation time hey? )
We rushed to this place immediately after getting off the bus and checking in, we reached around 2pm and this was all that was left.
FRIED TAU KEE ( THE BEST I'VE EATEN), fried fish ball, steam fish ball, some tau kua with fish paste, my parents and aunty were lucky enough to grab the last few lady's fingers with fish paste and chilli + fish paste.
Fried Tau Kee so good, it deserves a picture by itself.
