Authentic Malacca Chendol at Famosa Chicken, Jonker Street

Remember my recent post on Thomson Plaza's Jonker Nyonya Deli's chendol which I raved about?

Well, this one in Malacca beats it hands down. And of all places, I found it in Jonker Walk's Famosa Chicken.

I will not dwell on the chicken rice balls here as I will talk about a superior version in a later post.

Meera's Curry Banana Leaf Restaurant - 24 Hour Prata With Video

Seeing how this has been a Deepavali weekend, I thought I would mark this occasion with another excellent prata place.

This one is also near Upper Thomson, but more towards Mandai area. It is opened 24 hours around the clock, so this makes it a great choice for those looking for a prata fix in the middle of the night.

Roasted Beef Short Ribs Video Recipe

As this is silverchef's very first video recipe, I decided to return to one of my previous posts, which was the oven roasted beef short ribs with ginger capsicum cuscus dish.

I wanted to give a better idea or how some of these recipes were put together, and also, to give you some feel of the cooking process. Hopefully, this video will achieve that.

Malacca and Jonker Food Blogging Trip With Video

On Deepavali Day, I went with bowlingball (of course) and my fellow food blogger, wine kaki on a drive up the causeway to the town of Malacca, Malaysia.

The purpose was obviously to savor the culinary delights of this famous place where it is most well known for it's chicken rice balls and iced chendol.

At the same time, we also wanted to document this trip on video, as we felt it would be more immersive to show you more than just static photos.

Sweet One

Tonight I thought for once, I will do something a bit different, and actually not blog about food for a change.

Instead, I want to write about my trusted sidekick in this little adventure of mine, my sweet one.

The great photos that you see on this site, and many have salivated over the delicious looking food shown here, are mostly her diligent effort.

A Sneak Peek to our Malacca Jonker Road Trip

We decided to spend our Deepavali holiday by taking a road trip to Jonker, Malacca with my trusted silver kakis, bowlingball aka Pauline and winekaki aka Ken.

We also decided to try our hand doing a video travelogue and we are the first to admit, we are rank amateurs in this area, so please forgive the jerky camera work and somewhat bad audio.

Hua Yi Kitchen at International Building

Way back in 2001, before Ding Tai Fong became such a Singapore staple, I used to frequent a small yet cosy little outlet hidden in International Building near my former workplace.

It is found in the unlikeliest of places, and surrounded by the more popular Rice Table and Coca steamboat, and has only half a dozen of tables. Yet, maybe because of this, the place feels more right at home.

Pauline's Omelette

There are nights where Pauline would work until quite late at night, and often there would be very little choice to buy outside food for dinner.

Typically, she would settle for a simple omelette when she reaches back home, and out of all these occasions, I decided to do an omelette dish specifically for her, which is a very simple recipe.
