Roti Canai


The stall in the middle serves the one of the best two roti canai there is. The drinks (teh tarik & teh ais) is the best in the world. Yet the prices at this little stall is quite resonable. 80 cents for a kosong and a buck for the teh tarik. They have other types of food too, capati sometimes, the murtabak is good too....chunky...definetly one of the best, nasi lemak, mee goreng, kueh, mee kari, lontong.... lots eh....

This place is located at opp Syarikat Air :D , the empty parking lot opp. Go give it a try in the mornings. You'll definetly be satisfied.

Pork Bone Tea

Homemade bak kut teh....
Dont worry I didnt do this. I only peeled the 15's quail eggs =p

Tioman Island

Last tuesday a few friends and I headed for a holiday after our training/exams. We went to Tioman :D


The journey was pretty long as the bus from Melaka to Mersing took about 4 hours? If not mistaken stoppin to pick up and drop passengers at Muar and Kluang.

The ferry ride was long too compared to Redang which I went a couple years back.



As for the place between these two island well. It definetly hard to call which is better..
Foodwise Tioman wins hands down. They have cafes/restaurants/a bar selling food. Any kind of food you want you can get it.
Swimmin wise however I personally feel that Redang is a whole lot better.
But for more activities/shoppin Tioman is better as they have a duty free shop.
Tioman is very well developed compared to Redang.
I think on MY scale of 10. Redang is 10/10. Tioman will sit beside it at 9.5/10. Very hard to decide which is better. But if given a chance I will definely go back.



Caught this the first morning with a friend.

Pored hot water on it then dugged in. It was sooooooooo GOOD!





Went to the waterfall as well at the southern part of the island.









53MYR. Cheap! Especially the beer...fuuuu..... had one before snorkellin even. 2.5 for limau ais. 3 for a Bud. What would you choose?

Oh price wise. Well the food prices are STEEP. YOU gotta budget yourself out with activities and food.
My holiday cost around 380. Inclusive transportation/food/activities/alcohol/lodging/etc. Quite resonable I think.

A&W Melaka

The drink, good. BUT you can do it yourself. Get a bottle of A&W and a tub of ice cream. Ta-da homemade float. Just as good, waaaaay cheaper.

The food. Sucks. Waited for half an hour. You'd expect waiting for so long for it to be good and hot right? Nope, came out plain and warm only and the beef toppings was say... you'll know that it has been frozen and reheated. Size was also not very big. Its something like a mc chicken burger? But double the price!

The service. Way of the charts. I went in at 1.20, place an order waitied till 1.48 for them to get the order wrong then waited another 5 minutes to get the right order. Finished it in a minute or two. The service is really really bad. One of the worst. Definetly the worst for a fast food restaurant.

My lunch was 40 minutes at a fast food outlet. That isnt my definition of fast food. Plus lunch aint cheap. My bro and I had two floats, 2 hotdogs, 2 regular fries. Came up to 22++

I doubt I would go back. Maybe for a float ONLY.
Guess another vote for McD.
