The Historical Town Melaka

Few weeks ago I just been to Melaka with my friends who comes from Manila. It is really fun going with them. Love to visit Melaka to enjoy they spicy food and also some food hard to be found in Kuala Lumpur. I have been four times going to Melaka and every time I went there, something is changed. Now the area are more modern, some shop in old town has been renovated into very latest and current restaurant or cafe. Feel sad that the old culture is become rare.

One thing that I love Melaka is the city similar with my hometown in Indonesia. Especially the food where most of the food are spicy. There are few places in here that they really maintain, but since many of places have been renovated, it really lost the feeling of historical.

The entire picture below are taken in Jonker street area. Love the setting and also the decoration for Chinese New Year

Realizing that it has been very long time since the last time I went for KL bird park. Yeah, it was 2005 and what they called lake is a dry land with lots of flies and mosquito. I still remember the time I went there accompanied with my Sony T-200 walking around the area, including bird park, butterfly park, deer park ( now I did not see again) and many places that has been changed. It give nostalgic feeling and last weekend I have a little time to go around with my Nikky (Nikon D90) around the places, see new things and I often bump into tourist from western and also from Korea.

Few things that captivate me near bird park is they have orchid farm and also bunga raya farm ( I have no idea what the english name but it is what local people called). I saw a road that lead to someplace from orchid farm and my curiosity make me want to takes step. I was shocked that there are a small England type mansion with very English style decoration. Without second moment I took my Nikky and have some snaps.

Pasta Sauce

I received this recipe few years ago, when that time eating pasta is the cheapest and easiest way to cook. It is really shocking that the same recipe used by my friend who can earn RM 600 per day for selling this in one of famous restaurant. Very generous person toward people who has passion in cooking and eating.
