A trip to the Chetti Caterers in Jonker Street Malacca

Brocade Blue Saturday, March 09, 2013 1 Comments

Remember my old post here about a trip to an unknown part of Jonker Walk in Malacca? This is a detailed follow up after 3 years.The other day, under the sweltering heat of Malacca town, my mother in law and I walked under the generous shade of the golf umbrella to the chetti shop that does the catering for my husband's families many occasions. The chetti is always hard to reach, he's either in KL or jetting off to London to cook for Indian temples there. We finally caught hold of him two days ago and decided to pay him a visit to settle pending payments. After a walk down winding back-alleys of Jonker Street we came across this wonderful haven filled with clusters of people working under the Malacca heat with humongous fireplaces and gigantic woks. Indeed it was a sight to behold. Impressive, yes. Interesting, yes. Truly Malaccan, indeed yes.

I was in Malacca over the weekend, and here are some pictures from the trip. It was fun but at the end of the day I had blisters from walking. Pictures taken from atop A Famosa fort

Overtime @Hatten Square, Malacca

Best place to get wasted in Malacca with freshly brewed beer in three different options and two versions-aromatic and something else I forgot what it was called. Two pints for RM35. Superb view at night of the streets below

Lunch @ Aldy Hotel Malacca

Brocade Blue Tuesday, January 19, 2010 0 Comments

So here I am at work, after 2 weeks of walking on air and feeling heady with love..

I am so glad Satish came back, and I have to see him coming March.

Here are some pictures after our last lunch @ Aldy's-his favorite place. I had risotto and he had pizza. Drinks, I had strawberry and mango smoothie and he had a beer. I was surprised when I saw my dish. I had expected it to look pinkish white, possibly hinting of Italian herbs but he marinated my rice (basmati!!?) in mustard and cheese. My steamed aubergine tasted bitter but the cherry and sun-dried tomatoes made up for that. The sliced carrot was soft and lovely. Overall I'd rate this dish 5/10. Maybe if he hadn't spend time decorating the plate to make it look gourmet and spend more time making the dish taste as good as it looked I would have been happier. Oh well, that's hotel food for you!!

Total tab came up to RM 70++. Overpriced I know. But it was the closest from his home

Lunch at Kampung Vege

Brocade Blue Tuesday, January 12, 2010 2 Comments

This place is located at the skirts of a Malay villlage and hence the shop name of Kampung Vege. Loved the food, except for the tom yum that day. It was very bland (well, to me) So my boyfriend finished it up and I ate the side dishes. Here's some pictures after the jump:

Something aptly named Testing 123

Late evening cocktails at Geographer's in Jonker Street, Malacca

My drink

Nice huh?

Later will end up like this

Check out the miniature whiskies. Im surprised the glasses didn't break with all that sound and noise

Actually it was taken from an illegal car mod gathering in a carpark in front of 24/7 Mc Donald's at Dataran Pahlawan in Malacca. Some more pictures from the "gathering"

Jacuzzi with a view of the Sea

Brocade Blue Monday, January 11, 2010 2 Comments

I had some free time so I jumped into the nearest open air jacuzzi I could find in town

Mind you, it was 12 noon, the sun was blistering hot but believe it or not I was feeling cold because directly in front of me was the Straits of Malacca.I was like 10 mins in the water then off again wrapped in towels. It was that good! Hot and cold!! Loved it!!!

Some pictures to make you jealous.
