Melaka foods


Was traveled to Melaka during the weekend, tried a few famous local foods, like Durian Cendol at Donker street, Seafood at Portugese Settlement and Satay Celup. Amazingly none tasted good to my family. Although the crowd are ample at the restaurant, but truly it can't win over our taste buds. One may argue food taste is a subjective matter, but considering there are 3 families of us, it's really an unfavorable contributors to the statistic.

My personal view is that foods like Durian Cendol and Satay Celup is about fusing two different dishes into a new genre. It creates some hype and usually stir people's interest. It really no matter if it's a perfect match, people are immediately attracted by the hype. And a long queue in front of the shop just create a longer queue, especially in a society whereby "sheep following the crowd" mentality is common.

Like in our work, your boss can give you whatever position or title, but the respect from others can only be earned and not given.
