So what did you do during the Hari Raya and Merdeka Day break? I was at Malacca for a short trip. I stayed in Malacca for during my university days. Back then, Malacca wasn’t made a World Heritage place yet. But today, thanks to it’s new status as one of the World Heritage place, Malacca has undergone many changes. This in turn, leads to the opening of many new touristy spots. One of them is the opening of the Under Water World / Coral Wonderland at Dataran Pahlawan.

If you love corals, this is the place to be. The corals comes in many shapes and sizes. It was so beautiful to watch and to be photographed at.

The cutest sea creature here is their Chocolate Chip Starfish. Based on it’s appearance, I can see why it is called the chocolate chip starfish.

If you are in Seremban for the Hari Raya holidays right now, I recommend you to try the best chicken rice here at Chai Hong Restaurant. This restaurant serves by far, the best chicken rice I’ve ever tasted. Ipoh, Malacca, Kuala Lumpur or Sarawak chicken rice is no match to this.

The chicken was firm, smooth and juicy. I think no explanation necessary as the picture explains it all. The lady boss is quite particular with the presentation of her chicken rice but she is actually making sure every plate of chicken rice she serves goes out in perfect.

Sometimes good food can be very pricey. Our total bill comes up to about RM36 that day. It was expensive but it was worth the try especially for those who are like me, who have not tried Chai Hong’s chicken rice before.

I will be going to Hong Kong during the Raya holidays. Desserts are very popular in Hong Kong and Lucky Dessert is one of the dessert house that we had planned to visit. After knowing that Lucky Dessert had a branch in Sunway Giza Mall, we decided to make our way to Kota Damansara to try them out first. Lucky Dessert is currently having promotion meals priced at RM16.80 for 2 pax or RM8.90 for 1 person.

As we wanted to try more, we ordered our desserts ala carte. We ordered the Banana Krisp priced at RM12.00. It was crispy on the outside but soft inside. I expected this dessert to be sweet but it wasn’t. So if you like it sweeter, you may sweeted it up with the aising sugar which were carefully sprinkled on the plate so if you like it sweeter. I find this dessert pretty as it has some “snowy effect”.

Mango Roll has two small slices priced at RM6.00. Quite expensive if you ask me.

Trinity Durian Delight priced at RM10.00 is one of my favourite. This dessert is nice to be taken on a hot day. It is sweet but slightly bitter due to the bitterish taste from the durian and it is best taken cold. I would recommend you this if you are a durian lover.

Durian Wrapz was slightly bitter too. If it was sweeter, I would have like it better. I find it too bitter for it to be a dessert. Desserts are suppose to be sweet, right?
