Melaka Hai Nan Chicken Rice - The Chop Chung Wah Coffee Shop

The scene that I first walk into Jonker street, so many people in a queue. And this is the famous Hai Nan chicken rice ball in Melacca. This place is very easy to spot, cause its just next to the fountain of the Admiral Cheng He's Ship. Surprisingly its still hot when I ate it, and each place has 5 balls of chicken rice. Its kinda wired when I tried to eat it, cause normally I will pour the chicken soup on the rice to mix them together, but this one after I pour, it cannot penetrate into the chicken rice balls. two thumbs up for this one. The shop does not provide any spoon, only chopstick. And I just hold the whole plate and pour the soup into my plate of rice.

Malacca Butterfly & Reptile Sanctuary with Wilson Chin

Reached Melaka (Malacca) after an hour and 40 minutes drive from Kuala Lumpur. Upon entering the state, the first thing I saw was the Philea resort & Spa of Melaka. Out of curiosity I drove in and have a look, and notice that besides the resort, there is also a butterfly park. The Last butterfly park that I visited was the Penang Butterfly Park , so Anne and I decided to go in to visit the place. As we’re Malaysia so its RM12 per person to enter the park. We’re the first who visit the park that morning, and we start to explore the place. Now lets start our tour with the picture that I took. Food for the butterfly Relaxing
