The decision was totally spontaneous.
My colleagues and I went for a good dinner at Seremban last weekend. We came all the way from KL just to try out the BLUE tilapia. Yeah, you heard me right, its not the typical red tillapia, whereby the modified fish species was reared in natural hill fountain water, hence doesnt have the usual inland fisheries (ikan air tawar)'s fishy smell. The fish was cooked in salt baked style and Portuguese style. It was so yummy that 5 of us finished the two fishes within 10 mins.
The salt baked fishes (fish wrapped in paper and baked together with salt rock in tin foil), The portugues fish (tasted like eurasian style, with alot of spicy chili shrimp paste)
On top of that, we have our asam (tasted more like belacan) prawns, fuyuyaoma and hakka style sweet vineger pork.
We started our dinner at around 730pm, an hour later, we were on our way cruising to Malacca. It was totally the spur of the moment, and the excuse was, well, since we are half way there, so why not. And i'm glad that we made that decision cuz the whole trip was simply fun!

Hello Melacca!
The entire ambiance was serene but lively at the same time, many tourists were wandering around, shooting picture, taking the river cruise, enjoying romantic walks hand in hand.
So we went to the famous Jonker street, saw some interesting things like colorful trishaw which has a BIG woofer (installed underneath the seat) bombarding Beyonce's song at 1000dsb, San Shu Gong which sell all the local delicacies like Gula Melaka etc.
Talked to an uncle who made spiral potatoes chip (thin potato chips sprinkled with chilli, salt and curry powder) and free posing for me.
At first i thought this is the 'kao qin' fortune teller thingy (whereby people will shake a wooden bottle full of sticks, and then when one of the stick come off, you just bring it to Shi fu to decipher and tell you when you gonna get married, have how many kids dadada...), but it turns out to be chopsticks carved with chinese surname.
i ate the famous curry fishball, octupus lok lok, dim sum (7 for 3 bucks!!! can you believe it), and of course the famous cendol with lots and lots of gula Melaka, yum yum!
It was 1230am by the time we left Jonker street and waved Melacca good bye, but the night was still young for those people who were still drinking and dancing at the bars, and the queque for Satay Lok Lok was forever long. It was indeed a great trip and i think i'll come back again in near future.

@Dorcas: what i meant was cruising on the highway. hahaha.. the river cruise is very much the tourist thingy whereby the boat circles around the Malacca river.
@Kim: no ler. I dont know the name of the shop we went, but its bloody pack and we gave up in the end since it's 1am!
@manglish: yeah, Malacca zoo opens at night too!i think i'll give that a try next time.
