Great BALLS of Chicken
It was a really zippy day trip to go visit a friend in Melaka.. we only had time to dash into Melaka town, have lunch, and dash back to KL!
Eventhough the word on the street is that the Chicken Rice has dropped in standard in Melaka, I am still a SUCKER for The Chicken rice Ball.. so what to do.. I dragged my colleagues along to eat with me that sunny afternoon!

What? Closed?! My favourite shop had it's shiny shutters closed for the day. What bad luck. Again its debatable on the quality of the Chicken rice here at my favourite stall.. but I DON'T CARE... I still want to eat here every time I come! lol
Oh fine. Since we really didn't have much time, just down the road on Jonker was 'the other' chicken rice place.
Since they also serve Assam fish there, I was game to check it out.

Hoe Kee Chicken Rice on Jalan Hang Jebat!
Old fashion deco and a high ceiling gave the place a nice, airy feel, even on that hot afternoon.
Here comes the food.
Assam Fish - RM26.00
Not bad but the fish was overcooked. I personally would have preferred it MORE sour and spicy.
5/10

Chicken Rice Balls - RM3.00
The Chicken rice balls! Erm... looking at the balls.. not greasy enough.. and certainly not tasty enough. They say that the taste is enhanced by the rolling of the rice(by hand).. don't ask why.. the answer may turn your stomach;P Obviously, judging from the lack of taste.. this roller's hands were pretty clean... (aiiyo, don't know whether to laugh or cry.. haha)
I gave the balls a 4/10.

Chicken - RM8.00
The Chicken was tough and rubbery. So sad... the meal was pretty average.
It is true though what people say about the deterioration of Melaka's standards in food. Even the Nyonya Food on my last trip to Melaka was a let down...
Anyone from Malacca want to tell me where I should go to eat? (Oh, and all invitations to eat at your house are more than welcome... haha) We'll bring the beer!
