Ratatouille!
I re-read the old satay chelup post where KG mentioned about posting various makan places (new and old) in Malacca so out-of-towners like myself can go to try... So any contributions guys?? I 'll start the ball rolling with the new satay chelup place we visited 2 moons ago..
Place: Ujong Pasir- the old post office shop house before turning into Taman Sinn
Food: Forget about the copy cat versions in KL and Singapore with plain boiled water or the Mala Hotpot from China, this is the pure unadulterated Malacca version that we all Malaccans have been brought up to eat. Like Ratatouille is to the French, together with the old si hum with kangkung dish, this is our version of 'peasant' food - and how we folks like them ! Of course the more 'atas' city folks may call this version 'unhygienic' due to the common dipping technique involved and goodness knows when the shopkeeper has last changed the dipping sauce- but hey folks, if this don't toughen up your stomach, nothing much else will. Just make sure you guys have your Hepatitis A vaccination up to scratch and have plenty of charcoal tabs on standby in case the unthinkable happens...
But seriously folks, althought the satay chelup is nothing much to crow about as compared to other more established places ie. in Ong Kim Wee or the one opposite UE pau shop, this one is definitely much less crowded and is ideal for a bit of tete-a-tete after the makan instead of having prospective customers hovering around your elbows hoping to 'chope' your table. Variety wise, I feel it is adequate thought not extravagant and the dipping sauce wise is neither too sweet or too hot - the chili wise.
Service: Friendly shop keeper/ proprietor who is quite willing to top up our dipping sauce ..maybe also because there is not many other customers yet, although we were there at 9.30 pm. And I also noted his thoughtfulness when ta pao-ing some pieces of the satay for our makan companion while offering to put in some sauce as well- not many people do that though.
Wallet: Does it it this part of the anatomy hard? Can't remember this part much especially as to the cost per stick. All I can say is that for a post dinner makan for a group of 2 guys and 3 women and 1 growing boy, the damage done is about RM$60. I do think this is about the average.

Only in Malacca - MBO boleh!
Last Friday, 6 of us hopped into MBO hoping to catch a midnight screening of "Chuck & Larry". There were 4 movies on but no Chuck or Larry or any gay movies. We simply asked and they actually opened up a cinema for us! Now did that make us all gay or what! However, due to the centralised air-con and only 6 of us (+ 2 strangers), we were all “stiff” by the end of the show. 
Er,… boleh untung or not is another story lah.
You know guys, if they survive by the time we qualify as senior citizens, we can have a movie reunion kind of thingy… cheap cheap!
Pontianak!
Haven’t had a chance to blog this till now…
Anyway, one of those draggy early mornings, my colleague and I passed this traffic light junction in front of a mini waterfall near Jaya Jusco on the way to work. A huge clump of white stuff flew past and caught our eyes. My colleague shouted, “Pontianak!” There were a few flying about and some got stuck in the trees. (Hey, you can’t seriously believe they were pontianaks, right?) It was only after a while had we come to realise what they were - foam and soap bubbles. Someone actually turned the waterfall into a bubble bath! The stuff was overflowing like crazy and the clumps that were flying about distracted some passing vehicles. For a full report, check:

And, some of us thought Malacca’s not “happening”…

Beyonce
Friday August 17, 2007
Malaysia will be one of the stops, besides Thailand, for the award-winning singer’s debut appearance in South-east Asia.
Pineapple Concerts chairman Razlan Ahmad Razali said Beyonce’s management had agreed to stage a concert in Malaysia.
“We are now working out details, such as the terms and conditions and the venue,” he told The Star in an interview.
Pineapple Concerts is well known for bringing big bands into the country, including Earth, Wind and Fire and Grammy winner Kanye West earlier this year.
She is also a songwriter, model, record producer, dancer and fashion designer.
KUALA LUMPUR: R&B star Beyonce Knowles has scrapped plans to stage her first concert in Malaysia amid speculation she objected to a strict dress code barring sexy attire, industry officials said Monday.
Knowles will instead head for neighbouring Indonesia, which although also Muslim has less stringent rules about how performers should dress and behave.
Knowles' Los Angeles-based talent agency, International Creative Management, said her Nov 1 date with Kuala Lumpur had to be broken “due to a scheduling conflict,'' according to an ICM statement made available by Malaysian entertainment organisers Pineapple Concerts.
“It is with regret that we announce the cancellation of The Beyonce Experience World Tour in Kuala Lumpur,'' the ICM statement said.
“It was to mark the very first time the performer would bring her show to Malaysia.''
Knowles will perform in Jakarta instead on Nov 1, the statement said, adding that Knowles “is looking forward to performing for all her fans in Kuala Lumpur in the near future.''
Pineapple Concerts chairman Razlan Ahmad Razali said his company, which has brought Western acts such as Kanye West and Earth, Wind and Fire to Malaysia, was “disappointed and frustrated.''
Razlan declined to comment on the rumours that Knowles balked at Malaysia's decency code. However, he noted that besides Indonesia, Knowles is now slated to travel over the next month to many other Asian countries, including Thailand, China and India. – AP

Knowles' Los Angeles-based talent agency, International Creative Management, said her Nov 1 date with Kuala Lumpur had to be broken “due to a scheduling conflict,'' according to an ICM statement made available by Malaysian entertainment organisers Pineapple Concerts.
The announcement followed recent speculation that Knowles, famous for her sexy image and skimpy outfits, was reluctant to fulfil the Malaysian government's demand for female performers to cover up from the top of their chests to their knees, including their shoulders.
“It is with regret that we announce the cancellation of The Beyonce Experience World Tour in Kuala Lumpur,'' the ICM statement said.
“It was to mark the very first time the performer would bring her show to Malaysia.''
