Hei budz!!!!

Is been a while since I posted some eatery joint isnt't it? My bad... I have been to a few places that I really love to show to ya all.. But, I am running out of time everyday... 24hrs is not enough for me...

Buffet is never cheap for me... Well, since young the only buffet place I know was in the coffee house of any hotel... I came from a small town in Penang therefore, there is not much choice for me if I have a craving for buffet...

Fast forward to now, even though currently I have many choices to go to, if i prefer buffet.. the price are really not cheap... at lease RM30 and above?? If buffet in hotel even worse, can be up to RM100++ or more per person... (hint: I may be a hotelier, but i still find hotel food expensive... )

Anyway, I found an eatery whereby you can EAT ALL YA WANT!!! Best part is, it is really affordable, like REALLY AFFORDABLE!!!!

It is located outside of Plaza Damas. And it is really easy to find .......trust me..


"Make sure you are at the top floor, center exit... the exit is between TGI Friday and Starbucks... Walk across pass the Japanese restaurant till you see a small water fountain on your left (you can also spot a 7-11 near there on your left).. turn right and walk all the way till the end.... A Minor Place is on the right hang side...right in front of Ah Pek Coffee Shop"
 
Let me show you a bit of the places..

Interior of d restaurant

It is really comfy...the design of the restaurant as you can see is really like a small coffee house... comfy...

Really suitable for you to chill and hangout with your friends... not to forget, camwhore as well.... There are mirror after mirror as you can see on the right for ya to fix your makeup and camwhore...

The staff over there are really friendly... They really serve with you a smile... No black face or rude remark or stares given to me the whole time I am there...

Buffet area

 Might not be your typical buffet spread whereby you have like at lease 15 to 20 dishes varies from different cold starters right up to the heavy hot dishes... But, A Minor Place provides at lease 15 dishes for you to choose from (that includes the carbohyrdrates as well)

Carb dishes...

 For the price you are paying, I am really surprised they didnt just provide you with enless of white rice... Instead they provide you 3 different carb dish....1 fried rice, 1 pasta with tomato sauce and fried noodle...

I love the pasta really much compare to the other 2 dishes... the sauce is really sweet and sour all mix together (not sugar sweet type)... the sweetness comes from the carrots while the sourness no doubt from the tomatoes... Really yummy... Love the blend...

Yummy... yummy

There are really quite a selections for you to choose from....

Dishes:
Fried vege (Tomatoes, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Oyster Mushroom)
Yong Tau Foo (Brinjal, chilies, Ladiesfinger, Bitter gourd, Fu Chuk etc)
Curry vege
Pork Char Siew
Steam egg (Generous amount and big chucks of Salted Egg and Century Egg) 
Chicken Chop
Bak Kut Teh
Sweet and Sour Fish

Egg, Chicken, Bak Kut Teh and Fish....

What I really love the most is the Steam Egg.... It is really thick.... And the flavour of all the 3 eggs are retain in each of the cube... It might look very dry from the pictures, but it is actually very juicy...
Yummy!!! Yummy!!!

 
 Like I said... It might look dry...but it is actually very juicy... Don't judge an "egg" by its cover...

Yong Tau Foo, Pork and Vege

The Yong Foo Yoo are really good as well... The fish paste are quite thick... Maybe around 2- 3cm or so... Succulent fish paste.. I really hate those Yong Tau Foo stalls that charge around RM5 or more for 3 pieces, but their fish paste are like so little... So not worth my money and I always felt cheated...

What I am having....

Really enjoyed my lunch over there... Have like tons of Yong Tau Foo and the Steam Egg... Char Siew and the fish are nice as well.... Dont really like the Fried Vege cause I dont really like the funny taste the mushroom gave me...overall it is ok la for the fried vege...
 

Plate after plate of the delicious goodies...

Satisfy me....

After plates after plates of food, time for me to enjoy my drinks.. Ice Lemon Tea... Bless!!!  Ignore my makeup-less face ya... ^^

Ok.. time to end now... kthxbai!!!!!

Sorry for the late update on Malacca... Been really busy recently and wasn't feeling so well that why... anyway, let continue on with the Malacca trip post than shall we??

So after that, le companion and me went to Jonker Walk...

Jonker Walk a.k.a Jonker Street 

Please be informed that, some shops are close on Monday though... Because of the busy weekend before that...If you wanna make your visit to Melaka more worth it, drop by during weekends....

Entrance to Jonker Walk..

I just love Jonker Walk or Jonker street...the rows and  rows of Colonial time buidings remind me of Penang...

Not only that, interesting goodies that are been sold inside each shop are also captivating... Wood carving, nyonya bead shoes, batik design and many more...

Local delicalies are also sold there as well.. such as my fav Onde- onde and other delicious mouth watering nyonya kuih...

Ice Potong???

Went pass a shop that sells such cute ice potong thingy.... comes with lot of different flavour as well.. choose one on a hot sunny day and it won't go wrong...

Strawberry, Orange... what flavour are you??

Coffee is also famous there as well.. Since it is really a hot weather... spotted one shop which has like a small pushcart outside of it shop selling really cheap and refreshing coffee... Was really tempted by Sin Sing Coffee therefore, bough a cup and enjoy it with le companion

Entrance of the delicious coffee

Lovely chilling coffee on a hot sunny day...

I am not a coffee person, but this coffee is really not strong for my liking.. I love the after taste it gave me... the minty minty flavor on the tongue and throat... It is really refreshing that I feel that my body cool down a lot after the drink.... Give Sin Seng Coffee a try!!!

Mr Muscle Man Statue

Went pass this interesting park.... nothing much really.. just Mr Muscle Man statue only... heard that he was quite a famous icon during his days....

Chinese temple...

Headed to the nearby Kuan Yin temple for a short prayer... Not much picture taken over here though, I am scared that I disturb the deities over here... just in case... Quite a old temple.. When I was there, there was a young chinese couple releasing a cage of birds... Bet they are doing some ritual or something... Wonder what they wish for anyway..

We wanted to go to the Baba and Nyonya Museum to have a look, but sadly, it is close for renovation... and only a certain part of the museum is open, best part of all, no camera are allow.... T.T why why why!!!!!! Entrance fee still have to pay but you don't give me take some pictures...

In the end, decided to go shopping around Jonker Walk.. save my money for the goodies... Yeah!!!

Spotted an old antique shop along Jonker Walk, the old shopkeeper was really nice and give us permission to take some photo... So, le companion took a few snap shot here and there for reference.... It is a heritage that should continue to "live" ya know!!!

Ancient Dining Table...

Sitting Area with an ancient looking treasure box....

OMG... Ancient Relic

 It was really nice of the shopkeeper for letting us snap some photos of his goods.... Really had a good time viewing his stuff, wanted to buy something from him as a token of appreciation, but, the price is over my head... therefore, can't get myself anything though....

Oh ya, each time when le companion snap a photo of his stuff....he give us the LOOK.. "the rock eye look"... LOL!!!!

From this expression....

to THIS!!!!!!


Ok.. ok...we get the hint...therefore, is time to scramp!!! Ciao "nice" old man!!!!!!

Was getting really hungry afterward, therefore, for the a treat we headed for --->Satay..... NOPE!!! not the renown "Satay Celup".... but famous "Satay Babi" (a.k.a Pork Satay or Barbeque Pork on Stick)

Satay Babi @ Xiang Ji Satay Restaurant...

Entrance of the coffee shop

I am sure you tried before all-you-can-eat buffet right?? Have you tried before all-you-can eat Satay Babi??? o.0 .... What with the eye??

Its really easy.. step right into the shop, get a perfect seat right under the fan or air-con, order yourself a cup beverage of your choice, wait for the fella to serve you with ample supply of delicious succulent Pork Satay... No need to inform him how much you want... he is physic (he somehow know the appropriate amount though).... They will keep refilling for ya.... No worries if you can't finish it..

If you are a dare devil... ask them if they have some Pork Intestine or some Pork Liver as well... They serve that as well... But just double check with them as their supply is quite limited...

Satay Babi... Pork Satay

Now, I am hungry... The portion is small compare to the normal Chicken Satay that I am use to though... But the texture is really good... Sometime, I though I am having chicken instead of Pork... A thin layer of fat is sandwich in between 2 thinly sliced Pork...  The Pork meat is season with enough sauce and barbeque till it is really crispy and tender... How cool that??

Serve with home-made Pineapple Sauce with a dash of chili oil.. Not only that, come with the standard rice, cucumber and onion... You can get pieces of Pineapple slices in it as well... I have fun fishing the slices out.... Oh ya, the sauce really goes well with the Pork Satay...

Homemade Pineapple Sauce...

The perfect match....

Interested??? Do drop by their restaurant and give them a try...

Address: 50 Jalan Portugis, Kampung Tiga, Melaka (opposite of SJK (C)Pay Teck, and towards the end of Temple Street, near to Jonker Walk)

Right after that, we went to check- in to our hotel

Holiday Inn, Melaka

We book really last min though.... like the day before we decided to go to Melaka... Booked just a normal standard room....

but, we are eligible for an UPGRADE!!!!!!

Why?

Because Le companion's dad is a platinum member of Priority Club... which is THE WORLD LARGEST HOTEL LOYALTY PROGRAM.... and as a life-time platinum member, you are eligible for a Free Upgrade to the best available room available.... so happen the best available room is the Executive Suite.... Did I mention that it also comes with executive club lounge access as well??

Yippee for us....

Picture of the  Executive Suite... bear with me will ya!!!

Small dining area with complimentary fruits...

Living room... ignore the slipper though.. Wanna be comfy in the room

Bedroom with a huge ass bed.... I love the pillow...there is a choice between a hard or a soft pillow...and other types of pillows..

Living room

No eye (Left) and Nameless (Right) occupying each side of the bed.... Bad bears... Where m I going to sleep??

Huge Toilet...

Huge Bath Tub as well..

Once we checked- in, we didn't leave the suite... it was afternoon at that time and the sun is freaking freaking hot.... None of us are motivated to move our lazy bum bum... so, we stayed in the room and watch tv.... and accidentaly fall asleep cause it is so cooling... Opps!!!

Woke up and realised it is almost evening... So we went to the Executive Club Lounge to enjoy the evening cocktail and small buffet spread.... It is a Exce. Club Privilledge... Don't waste it!!!

Overview of the Executive Lounge...

Buffet area which is going to fill up with foods later..

Sofa Area

Outdoor seating... too hot for my liking

Fav of the day- Chocolate Tart....

Strawberry Cakes...my fav

Small little finger food..

The evening cocktail comes with unlimited alcoholic beverages, quite a number of selection... but we skip that...

Oh ya, that was our dinner though... the evening cocktail buffet spread has a limited selection of food... but is ok, it keep us full for quite some time... 

As for supper, went to their lounge at Lobby area to get our self a sandwich, it was selling at 50% off... only around RM4.00 my sandwich if I remember correctly.. 

After that, went back to room and chill for the rest of the night and fall asleep...

That all for Malacca for now... Will update the last day soon... with my shopping haul together...

Tootles!!!!!!!
