Both my husband and I, together with my parents-in-law, went to Melaka last weekend to attend a wedding. My husband's grandfather was from Melaka and the person who invited us was my father-in-law's cousin. So his son who got married yesterday is my husband's two pupu (direct translation of dua pupu...hahaha (very lame...yes I know :p)).
I've always wanted to attend a wedding in Malaysia. Never attended one, or I should say, I had attended one before but I was too small to recall how it was like. So, I was eager to go and see!
Well, it was not much of a surprise. The wedding reception was about the same as the one in Singapore with buffet lunch, DJ playing the music, even the food was about the same..nasi 'putih' with 'lemak nangka' and salted fish and nasi briyani (it's more like tomato rice though) with 'ayam masak merah'. But the 'kick' of the day, the sambal belacan!!! Powerdema! Pedas gila! Fuhhh...berpeluh-peluh...dahlah cuaca panas..meleleh-leleh peluh. Tapi best ahhh...as one of my colleague would always say "MELANCH.." (ooppss)
It was a good trip. Got to meet most of Abah's cousins. Went to visit their house and get to meet their mother (nenek ni kurang pendengaran...anak2 dia semua cakap kat dia kena pekik2... kecoh!!!). But it was fun to watch and observe everything. :)
Anyway, when we visited them, biasalah kita org Melayu, kalau tetamu datang mesti kena makan. So during most of the visitings, I kept on eating and eating and eating walaupun dah kenyang coz the tuan rumah macam tak dengar atau buat2 tak dengar kalau kita cakap "Dah lah...kita dah makan tadi, masih kenyang." They still 'force' us to eat. So we eat a bit lor, taknak kecikkan hati tuan rumah. :)
Other than the wedding and visitings, another MUST thing to do in Melaka is.....to go to the "Manggis" shop and eat CHENDOL!!!! Hee hee hee...and another thing that I must do is....eat at KENNY ROGERS!!!! Maacaaroonii and cheeeessseeeeeee....hhhmmmmmm......yummyyyyy!!!!!
So if you were to go to Melaka next time, try the Chendol okay!! It's a MUST!
