Fatpapa goes Malacca (III)

Chiak Ba Boh?

See that? Some of you ( u know who u are...) may remember these...yes its that lard bursting, cholesterol laden popiahs that FC made us all eat on our last lab outing. Managed to find it even though it was night time when she brought us there. If you can find "Madam Kings" departmental store in Malacca, u wouldn't miss it as the stall is usually parked right outside. Like all roadside stalls, don't let the look fool u. Not exactly "Michelin" class and certainly hygeine is not the order of the day, RM 1.50 gets you a thick, fat slab brimming with thick strips of "Bang Guang" (Turnip) cooked in lard and upon special request you can have chockful of lard rolled in....(health warning: too much lard may be harmful to you and your family). Sinfully delicious!

Teochew "Hee Kiaw". Recommended by some foodie magazine, so just dropped by to try. Our stomachs were already full to the brim liao, but there was always space for a little more. This stall only opens at night after 6pm and can be found in a open air hawker centre near the City Bayview hotel. If travelling from the NSH toll towards Malacca town, it is on the left hand side of the road slightly before the City Bayview hotel. It is usually brightly lit at night, so should be hard to miss. The "Hee Kiaw" here are made fresh everyday and the skin is a lot more crunchier than the mass produced one you get here in Singapore. The fillings are flavourful, but a little too heavily seasoned in my opinion. Comes served with insipid looking noodles that you have to season yourself with dark soy sauce. Quite alright actually but nothing out of this world. The "Hee Kiaw" though fared better.

This ends my short food review on Malacca. Back to Singapore then...
