Two wins

Did so much yesterday but will have to blog it after I return home. Two big wins in Melaka. First the discovery of the most delicious desert in the entire world. And you know I dont like deserts and sweet things. Cendol. The glorious Cendol is a unique Maleka desert. In a bowl comes brownish icy pile with what looks like slimy worms on top. The 'worms' are pale green coloured soft and slippery noodles about the size of thick Hokkien noodles but flat. They are bland to taste. At the bottom of the bowl unseen until you dig down, are cooked red beans that are the same colour as kidney beans  but straight - soft and velvety to eat. Above is a mound of shaved ice witha swim of liquid palmsugar, plus a dollop of coconut cream. It was magnificent. Perfect for mid afternoon when you feel you cannot go on.
