Dessert after Chicken Rice Ball @ Mallacca

Following the excellent chicken rice ball, it's important that I didn't fill up my stomach too fully. As there was some other excellent stuff to taste and the food must match the timing to create that extra belly filled happiness.

Where is it?
It's advisable to go walk around the area as it's near the A Famosa ruins and also the red church.

So once you begin to lighten the load or your stomach, you're ready for round two. You would have to walk back to the place where the chicken rice was and follow the small lane inside.

And soon you will reach a antique feel kopi tiam with two stalls and two long queues of people outside. The length of the queue would probably depends on when are you visiting. So if you're hitting that spot on the weekends, do remember to bring friends so some can wait outside while the other jom some place to sit.

And oh, they even have their own website here Jonker.

One stall is selling laksa while the other is selling the abc. You don't have a choice, try both of them please...

We ordered two types of laksa: one is the northern Penang like flavor laksa which is spicy and should manage to whip up your appetite more.

While the other is southern Singapore like laksa with lots and lots of coconut milk which makes your feel full and drowsy. So totally opposite taste to rock your taste bud and perhaps your stomach too.

But if you would really have to pick one then i would go for the spicy laksa as the second really was ok but taste bud wise it felt rather bland.

It's almost insane to eat something that hot and spicy during the course of the afternoon as the heat from outside was like a house on fire. But luckily we have some secret weapons stored at the back to deal with this situation properly.

The secret weapons unveiled:
I'm used to eating Penang style abc where they usually have a bunch of crushed ice, some reddish color syrup, some corns and red beans and even atapchi..

But this, ladies and germs, are a different species altogether. The black colored thing on top of those snow hills are the lovely gula malacca, and if you're wondering why your normal serving probaby doesn't have this much gula malacca is because we're trying to break our liver fast by adding them ourselves.

It's cold and sweet, and everything that you would need in a hot afternoon and especially after a spicy laksa meal. It kinds of reminds me of a old song... ais kacang, ais, ais kacang, bila cuaca panas dan rasa dahaga...

To sum it up, i wouldn't think that they can lead the cast in a stomach appealing ensemble, but they do play supporting roles very well. So if you're not looking to overload your stomach or the malacca weather is melting your brain then you would definitely want to revisit this place.
