Afternoon Tea in Melaka, March 18, 2009

On our way back from KL, I decided to have some popiah (Malaysian type of spring roll) for afternoon tea. Mummy suggested popiah from Bunga Raya. Look at the crowds and they are actually queuing up under the hot sun. You can all guess, we sent Mummy to buy some popiah for us. :) I was actually surprised at the local prices, selling for MYR 2.50 for a small popiah. Gone were the days where we used to just pay MYR1.00 or 1.50. Inflation?? It tasted good though, with the fried pork lard in the popiah.

While Mummy was lining up for popiah, lil sis- Belle decided to take a few pictures to kill her boredom. I really miss driving and the convenience of driving all the way right up to the stall in Malaysia; something I didn't get to do in Bermuda as we went around in the bus, Vespa or by foot. I didn't mind walking back at home but I hesitated after looking at the scorching sun and the high number of crime rates. Better to be safe than sorry!

Belle in all smiles thinking of the popiah!

Mmmm... heavenly. A close up view of the popiah.

If you look closer, try spotting the bits of fried egg and pork lard and also fried jicamas.

Proud and happy customer of the popiah! Best-lah!
