Ah, Melaka. So near, yet so over-crowded with too many traffic lights. Those two factors weigh heavily on my mind that when it comes to making a daytrip out of KL for some makan and a change of scenery, we would rather drive straight down to Muar, Johor instead. (Yes, even though Melaka IS my wife’s kampung)
But one fine weekday some months ago, our “hati” were strangely “terbuka”, and we decided to pay Melaka a visit. It was a holiday in the state (the Governor’s Birthday), and so we thought it’d be the best day to scour for some asam pedas while soaking in some history.
Traffic on the North-South highway was smooth all the way right up to the exit at Simpang Ampat. Then came the traffic light test, and guess what, they were mostly perfectly timed! Green after green after green. A mini miracle, indeed!
Our first destination was a recommendation by a relative. Instead of going to a “viral” breakfast spot, we drove to Limbongan for Faizal Mohd Yusof, Roti Canai Special. There was already a good crowd enjoying their first meal of the day, but getting a table wasn’t a problem.
We had the roti canai with kari kambing and kari ikan siakap (with additional sotong), and they were all good. Alhamdulillah!
