Street Food Experience @ Tong Bee Stall, Malacca

IMG_2293Our family have a weekend getaway to Malacca. It is quite a last minute as Daddy decided to go to Malacca in the afternoon after the children art class 2.30pm at Jane Yap Atelier.

It was evening when we arrived Malacca. Due to last minute that we did not book any hotel. We just drove around the town and looked for hotel.

Daddy drove to 7 Days Premium Malacca, I walked in and checked with the front desk still have available room.

And, we were so fortunate that there are still Family Triple Room available, as the Family Quad are not available. Thus, we checked in to this hotel.

The room itself too is very comfortable, as provides even locker, closet, wooden/parquetted flooring, clothes rack, and slippers to please the most discerning guest.

After settled down, we went for our dinner and it was around 8.00pm. Daddy brought us to a place where we did not go before.

It is a famous back alley off Jalan Bunga Raya, which is walking distance from our hotel. The stall is famous for its cockles, clam, sotong, and other varieties of snacks.

Dining at Tong Bee Stall is a new experience for us, and I don’t think we can get anywhere else because we were sitting on a low wooden stool in a dimly-lit alley.

It was a long stainless steel wrapped table where we seated and have the opportunity to see how the uncle prepare the food.

It is not the cleanest place to eat at, but when we arrived, already packed with locals and tourists.

IMG_2308We ordered cockles, clams, balitong, snails and paired with their special nutty chili sauce.

Besides, we also ordered tauhu bakar, grilled cuttlefish and sotong kangkung.

We feel full even though we did not eat rice. We walked back to our hotel after as all of us were tired for the day.

We slept early after taking our bath as we were sitting sweating and the smells of the grilled sotong and tauhu bakar at the stall just now. Open-mouthed smile
