Coconut Shake @ Kg. Alai, Melaka

Check out from hotel, and we hang out at lowyat plaza to seek for Ipad2 unfortunately same as in JB, sold out. On the way back to JB we stop by at Malacca, to search of something refreshing.  It was sweltering hot day in Malacca and we need something fast to ease our state of dehydration. We want to go to Klebang but idham drive to Tg Alai instead to taste the infamous coconut shake.  We saw so many people lining up patiently, make us even wondered what the fuss was all about.

Coconut Shake With Vanilla Ice Cream

We waited for about 30 minutes before we could sip this taste of heaven. Extremely refreshing, juicy and creamy all at the same time.  Imagine fresh coconut flesh and water, ice cube and scoop of vanilla ice cream crush together and mix into one blend of coconut shake. Put another scoop of vanilla ice cream…Wala, you’ll have coconut shake float. This is a simple and yet amazing beverage, make you craving for more. But if they can add ice cream soda into this beverage it would be totally awesome.

Many People Patiently Line Up

Subway Melt @ Subway, Bukit Bintang

From Dk’s house took about 1 hour before we arrived in Kuala Lumpur at 12:00 midnite, Check in at budget hotel at Bintang Walk cost about RM240 per room (Divide by 5 around RM48/person). Then we hang out at Bukit Bintang Plaza Food Stall to watch a live telecast of European League Championship between Man U vs Barcelona. Really exciting match to watch Man. U been beaten by powerhouse Barcelona.  Surprisingly, the price of drinks at Bukit Bintang really chopped head, 5 glasses of beverage milo and Nescafe cost us about RM28 (RM5.60/glass ). I’ll be damned.
Next morning, have breakfast at Subway. In JB, we cannot find any subway restaurant, probably 7 years ago they opened one branch at Komtar but sadly close liau…

Subway Melt suppose to look like below

Damn Delicious Subway Melt



Really mouth watering, just imagine fresh toasted on the freshly baked bread stuffed with tender sliced turkey, ham, crispy bacon, melted cheese, and choices of tasty and fresh vegetables and condiments. You won’t regret it.

Breakfast Cheese & Egg
Simply delicious. Fluffy egg omelet with melted cheese fresh toasted on freshly baked bread.

Wide Selection of Topping & Filling

I hope Subway will reopen again in Johor Bahru in the future.

Nasi Minyak @ Hishamudin's (DK) Wedding, Temerloh

At last around 9:30pm we safely reached at DK’s house. We met his relatives and parents. Nice and friendly folks even though DK’s father is an Assistance Chief Commissioner of Temerloh Police, Pahang.  Since already night time, we just had whatever leftover from the wedding. Still they have a pot of Lamb Shank Kurma and Dhalcha. Grab a plate straight away and enjoy the foods.

Nasi Minyak with Mutton Kurma & Dhalcha

Nasi Minyak is synonym with wedding reception ( kenduri kahwin ).  Translation of this dish is not oily rice but scented rice. The rice is cooked with butter, ginger, coconut milk, spices, raisins and almonds. Normally when Elder Malay said about NasI Minyak to somebody it means to ask when they are getting married. Food taste got nothing to complaint, rice is long & fluffy, only got two dishes left  but more than enough since you can have unlimited serving. I ate more than 3 pieces of lamb shank or gearbox Kurma. 

Wedding's Goodies

To DK’s and his bride,
One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.

BK Single Black Pepper @ Burger King, Skudai

On 28th May, we went to Temerloh, Pahang to attend our colleague’s wedding.  It’s on Saturday and we’re working that day and definitely we won’t be able to watch his wedding reception. Anyway, as promised we still going to Temerloh even though we might reach there at night time. There are 5 of us participated in this journey.  We departed from Masai,Jb  at 15:00 and since this will be a long journey we decided to stop by at Burger King, Petronas Skudai to refuel ourselves.  4 of us ordered Burger King and Idham’s for Dunkin Donut. I chose BK Single Black Pepper Set including fresh fries and soft drink.

BK Single Black Pepper & Fries

Nice Big Bite
This is a mouth watering goodness made from 62gm flame-grilled beef patty, crunchy lettuce, fresh onions and creamy mayonnaise and topped with tangy black pepper sauce for that extra zing!  Taste different from Mc Donald and I really love the taste of their black pepper sauce. If you’re on the way to north before skudai’s toll, you won’t miss the big signboard of Burger King at Petronas Petrol Station.
