Famosa Chicken Rice Ball

A trip to Melaka would never be complete without savouring its famous chicken rice balls. I've heard that Hoe Kee has better selection but we were pretty hungry once we reached Melaka and decided to pounce on the first shop we see.

Yummy golf sized chicken rice balls

The shop, thankfully was air conditioned. It was scorching hot outside and being able to sit under blazing cold air while savouring good food was a bliss. The shopkeeper suggested we try a serving of yam balls on top of our chicken rice ball order. The yam balls were a nice compliment to the aromatic chicken rice balls, the balls were full of yam flavour and the hidden shrimp bits gave the yam balls a nice dimension.

Delectable smooth bites of roasted chicken

The chicken itself did not disappoint. It was perhaps not the best I've had but definitely was above average.

Loads of vitamins and fibre

To balance out the carbs and protein, we decided to order a plate of greens. Pretty normal stuff I felt - but then how different can one go with a simple plate of greens. We ordered a side of fish ball soup ( picture not taken) to satisfy the pangs of one of our fish ball crazy friends but it was alright - nothing spectacular but not bad either.

The meal on a whole was satisfactory and reasonable. It costed us about RM 37 including drinks for 4 pax. Burrppppp!
