Pigging out in Melaka...

All about Melaka food in this posting. Some of the dishes I pigged on over the weekend. Here's my favourite daytime heekiaw mee, complete with teochew chilli sauce all over the noodles. I have a night favourite but that's another story...

At the pokok ketapang at the head of Tranquerah road, you have a quaint but ancient hawker centre. This place has 2 fishball vendors... this one is the one that comes later in the afternoon. Good nonetheless...

Here's the stuff I bought from him. Normally I can wallop RM10 worth of it but since I just had the heekiaw, I bought RM5 instead. You get fishballs, yamballs, fish skin fritters and slices of cucumber. Comes with teochew chilli and a sweet tnee-chio which is a type of syrup made from sugar and onions.

For supper, I had char tau kueh aka loh pak koh (radish cake) bought from Jonker Walk. Melaka style is normally blacker than its Penang counterpart because of the thick black sauce used.
