Felt like a time traveller when I step into this ancient temple in Malacca. Built in 1637, the Cheng Hoon Teng Temple is the oldest functioning Chinese temple in the country.
I like how disarray on the candle stand disrupt an otherwise very ordered and sombre atmosphere.

The most overrated thing from Melaka got to be Chicken Rice Balls. Tasted like a lump of under-cooked starchy rice. The steamed ‘white chicken’ is good, though. Order regular chicken rice and fish balls instead, if you ever ended up in one of these eateries.

Is there a cendol shortage in Melaka? Maybe I am spoiled by the generous green jelly dished out at Klang, Seremban and Banting but I still think it is rather measly here. Nevertheless, eating shaved ice on a sidewalk that dates back to the 17th century made up for it.
