That night, we drove in 2 cars + 1 MPV to Umbai for fresh seafood. Its a must-go when you are in Malacca. Even if you are in Malacca for a few hours. Indeed they had spruced up the place and now the seating area is covered. We reached there quite late about 9.30pm but the place was jam packed. As always, we patronise Stall no 1. D'Muara Ikan Bakar. Its funny how this stall is jam filled with people while the other 9 are literally empty!!!! Service is quite bad but the food makes it all alright I guess.
The seafood are all on display, just like a wet market. You basically choose which one you want, then tell the guy how you want it done, Bakar (grill), Sambal, Sweer n Sour or Tepung (for prawns and cuttlefish). All this is eaten with a free flow of Nasi Lemak in cute small packets. Usually you only eat one or at most 2 packets of rice and spend the rest of the time gorging on the seafood. Take a look at what we had... dun drool ok!!!!!




We spend the remaining time in Malacca shopping at Mahkota Parade, right smack in front of our hotel. I managed to get one pair of lovely shoes at a steal. (BTW Mahkota Parade is a heaven for shoe freaks like me there must be like 20 shoe shops in there, including Vincci!!!) And lots n lots of tudungs. In what was like an eternity later (for The Don, anyway), we finally left Malacca and made our way home to SG. It was a wonderful trip but tt sure felt good to get our King size bed again.....
