Had a really scrumptious dinner in Melaka last week ...well, we were supposed to go to Yogya but with the Merapi eruption and all that, it had to be canceled ...we went to Melaka instead ....it is not the same, but we had fun there ...
the first night was spent strolling along the pier at Portuguese Square ...it is the Portuguese Settlement, somewhere in Ujong Pasir (I think!) ..we drove there around 5.30pm from the hotel coz the plan was to have dinner and watch the sunset ...i read in a blog that the view was beautiful ..they were not wrong!
Since we arrived early and the weather was still hot, we had our dinner first - we were starving coz our lunch was at noon in Air Keroh earlier ...and the seafood was abundant!
fresh clam (or kepah as the locals called it)
With that fresh seafood in mind, we ordered .....
prawns in garlic butter
sweet and sour crab (2kg worth) and costs RM 80 ..plenty of leftovers, which we took back with us to the hotel ..for our midnight feast!
baked fish (Kurau) Portuguese style ...it's nice, a bit spicy but with refreshing lemony tang ...
we also order otak-otak (fish rolls - i think) in sambal sauce ...spicy! but no photos ...my hands were too messy from the crabs by the time otak-otak arrived at the table ....
and the drinks to sooth away the spiciness ..My GOd the drinks were sour! hahahaha but the food was great! and it is cheap compared to prices in KL ...hehehehe ...
After dinner, we went for a stroll along the pier ...check
my other posting for details ...the view, needless to say, are awesome!
