Tampin!

Finally, after spending 3 days with Mun Horng working as a promoter 4 a Celcom Broadband Company at Melaka (my hometown). I decided to visit mun horng's hometown Tampin, a town located at d borderline between Negeri Sembilan & Melaka. From Melaka Central (A bus terminal like Puduraya), we took a public bus to there which took us bout 45 mins juz 2 reach there. We were warmly welcomed by his relatives as soon as we reach there. Guess wat, Mun Horng has a HUGE family! His Grandpa is a father for 6 sons and 5 daughters, runs a shop which is a family business now and living at a Wisma juz a few blocks away d Tampin Bus Station.


After putting all d bags at mun horng cousin's house, his cousin decided to take us to his herbal drink stall, then treat us with some herbal tea, to cool down our body after a long journey. When his cousin settles with his own things, he took us to a restaurant for lunch. D food there is d BEST , juz d fun part is we actually 4gt 2 pay after we eat....... So a gal came out n chase us to pay...

My breakfast, fried kuey tiew and Munhorng's Laksa(curry mee)

I'd been told there r 3 things u muz do when u come to Tampin,

1. Muz eat d local satay and fried kuey tiew.

- What so special? Guess wat, it only opens around 1a.m. (Yea rite, 12a.m. already full house edi) D weird part is, they'll nvr treat u like he suppose to be. As soon as u go there, u needa take d chairs n table by urselves, open it, take d satay out from d freezer, then COOK it URSELVES... Ya, If ur unlucky enough, u gotta start d fire, add d charcoal all by urselves. Everything is SELF-SERVICE. They said d stall's satay sauce is d answer to d question. Imagine, d crunchiness of d peanuts fused together with d spiciness of d chili n covered with layers of peanut's sweetness. Not 4geting It can also be a nice dressing for d fried kuey tiew. YUMMY....

2. Grab a bowl of MEE LONGKANG

Why named as mee LONGKANG? It is said tat they used to sell d noodle besides a big longkang every night, but d mee is so tasty until it covers d smell of d Longkang.

With a highest record of selling 100 packs of mee longkang to A customer. Singaporeans willing to fly oversea and travel across d great land juz to have a bowl of it. U can see how great is it..

My best friend, Mun horng

It looks something like Wantan mee but doesn't come with d Wantan, lighter in colour, juz noodle with meat and vege n tat's all.

Frankly speaking... 4 me , em... ntg special actually... They said last time it USED to be very tasty, but now...... sorrylah... Ok, it's worth 2 try also as 4 sure it taste better than any wantan mee in KL.

3. Muz try d Tampin's Special ICE CREAM.

Imagine 2 scoops of ice cream, dressed with a freshly melted- 100% pure chocolate coating, on a homemade-cone which tastes something like d Chinese new year's 'egg roll' . IT'S SIMPLY DELICIOUS MAN!!!

Tat's me with Bukit Tampin behind me

Everything, from d ice cream 2 d ice cream's cone are hand-made by d tauke himself. Tat's y it's cream-er (mayb coz it's fresh from d freezer) and of coz has a more original taste (doesn't has d synthetic flavoring n etc) .

Of coz there r morelah, like Karaoke (Mun Horng's cousins & relatives really gt d gift to sing n dance, Mun horng is d ONLY ONE who couldn't sing nor dance.)

I stayed there 4 2 days, it was fun! Hope u all have d chance to go there and when u do dun 4gt 2 try d FOOD over there! Trust me, it is GREAT!!!
