Asam Pedas For Dinner In Melaka
We arrived in Melaka on the eve of the new year for a night run in Hatten Neon Nite Run just shortly after 4.00pm.
After checking-in and resting, we decided to head out for a quick dinner somewhere nearby the hotel before our run that night.
We walked towards the Pahlawan Walk Market (Newton Food Court) and after passing a few stalls and restaurants around the area, decided to try the Asam Pedas JR.
We got ourselves a table and Hubby proceeded to head to the counter to place order and make payments.
Service was fast. Hubby was still ordering our drinks when our order arrived.
First came the rice, with salted egg and a slice of cucumber.
Then the asam pedas pari (stingray) served in kuali (wok).
A few minutes later, our plate of mussels arrived. We saw a number of tables ordering this so we decided to give it a try.
A wok of pari and a plate of mussels plus three rice came to RM29.00. Not bad lah.
It was a unanimous that the mussels were nicer than the pari for us. :)
We later walked back to our hotel but before that, we stopped at the Dataran Pahlawan field to check out the preparation for the night's run, bumped into fellow runners before going up to our room to change into our running gear.
We had a nice dinner and later a nice run. A good day for us. :-)
Wow! Yummy! Assam pedas is always my favourite as they have this sourish & appetizing oomph!
ReplyDeleteI am amazed that the hawkers could provide faster services than many big restaurants. Hope your family had a good time there.
We certainly did.
DeleteHope Anay had a good New Year weekend. :)
Sedapnya!
ReplyDeleteMemang! ;)
DeleteEr... does that mean the mussels were super good, or the pari was not so good? :P
ReplyDeleteHahaha No lah...
DeleteWe just like the mussels better. :P
Whichever is better, the dishes look very appetizing to me... with the Salivating over the assam pedas ikan pari.. yummmsss!!
ReplyDeleteThey sure do, right? hahaha
DeleteCan see the spiciness of the asam pedas. So red!
ReplyDeleteI love sting ray especially in curry or grilled with sambal. Not so in asam pedas. I also like mussels. Hehe.
Grilled with sambal is goooood. :)
DeleteRm29 only...cheap la like that. Okie mark this place...next time in melaka will go food hunting here ☺
ReplyDeleteVery near to Hatten Hotel. So very convenient to sightsee, shop and eat. Hihihi
DeleteWith the gravy for the asam pedas pari, i can eat extra plate of rice..
ReplyDeleteTrue. :)
Deletei am actually a little skeptical about having that asam pedas pari looking at its color.. it looks so so so pedas i may not take the risk, hahaha!!
ReplyDeletethe mussels look good though, how was it cooked?? sambal??
OK wor. Sourish and spicy a bit la. Very ngam to my taste.
DeleteMussel is cooked asam pedas style also, supposedly. But taste also like tomyam. Hahaha
