After a long touristy day in Malacca, we finally got to settle for dinner @ Taragon Restaurant & Bistro.
It’s situated right opposite Christ Church Malacca, also by the Malacca river.
If I’m not mistaken, it’s an old bungalow.
Xiang, Bryan & I.
They serve mainly Nyonya & Western food.
Let’s proceed on for a better picture, shall we?
Tropical Punch; 7.90MYR Taragon Sunset; 7.90MYR
Both; combination of many juices.
Fruit juices; 4.90MYR Itik Tim Soup; 14.00MYR
That is salty vege sup. Known as “kiam-chai teng” in Hokkien. Cooked with lots of vege (obvious!), carrots & duck meat (very nice texture).
Fettucine Concasser; 12.90MYR
One of the two Western dishes we got to try. Just a plate of normal tomato pasta with meat fettucine.
Taragon Dory Fish; 16.90MYR
Served with mashed potato (yummy!) & coleslaw. I think the middle part is cheese, and I personally like the sauce.
Chili Garam Prawns; 28.00MYR
Fresh prawns and pretty big for dish like this. Pretty spicy!
Fried Oyster; 28.90MYR
I don’t usually take oysters, but fried ones are fine. So, I’m not complaining.
Terung Bakar; 14.00MYR
Don’t think I’ve taken brinjal before, in my entire life. Next!
Sambal Bendi; 14.00MYR
I totally agree with Xiang, the sambal is excellent, just like the one back in hometown. Spicy enough & you’ll never find this kind of sambal in KL. Highly recommended! Thumbs up*
Lemak Nanas Fish; 45.00MYR
In between spicy & sour. It’s name “Lemak”, says it all.
Chicken Asam Buah Keluak; 20.00MYR
I wouldn’t say highly recommended because of it’s taste, but it is definitely recommended! It was my first time, and it has very very weird taste! Good weird, not bad weird. I think it’s meat stuffed in black nuts.
Same style again.
Florence, Balwin & Xiang.
Bryan, Jason & myself.
Sago Gula Melaka; 5.90MYR Nyonya Cendol; 3.90MYR
Last but not least, of course we have to try their desserts!
Cendol is a bit different, worth trying!

Alongside; Taragon boss, Mr. Gwei & wife and F&B Manager of Taragon, Mr. Alvin Tan.
Interior of Taragon.
Mr. Gwei & wife toured us around. We got to tour upstairs, which is not open for customers yet.
The couple.
Baldwin & Florence.
As seen in the picture, they do sell spices such as, Curry Powder, for a reasonable price.
Once again,
few pictures are by Xiang.
Thank You! :)
Since it’s by the Malacca river, it’s obvious that; beautiful place, beautiful scenery.
You can have a beer or two outside by the river. Very breezy.
Not forgetting, romantic as well.
Goodbye Malacca!
Maybe, it’s time for you to visit.

BlupBlupMY bought fellow bloggers for lunch as a welcome gratitude @ EspresSOUP, Low Yat Plaza.
Since I’m one of their member, I was invited for this free/eat-all-you-can lunch!
Also since, Miss Bonnie slept over the night before, I brought her along with me! :)
Sorry, I have to steal pictures from others.
I arrived late because I thought it was in Lot 10.
And by the time I arrived, I only drank like a bottle of apple. Or was it a can. :(
If I’m not mistaken, EspresSoup specialized in soup (well, the name gave it away) offering 5 choices of yummy nutritious soup; Chunky Mushroom, Clam Chowder, Creamy Pumpkin, Fresh Broccoli & Classic Minestrone.
All served with (or if you don’t like bread, you can choose without) their infamous farmer bread (wholemeal bread).
Ham & Cheese Bites.
Pasta on your left.
Jamie on your right.
Which? :)

Janise Lim was there as well!
And hello Mr. Simon So!

1. Back from hiatus. It’s been a crazy 3 weeks long. I mean it when I said crazy. Last few weeks of Sem 2, assignments & tests popped out of no where, have very limited time to prepare & I still have finals to study for. Well, I’m glad I could say hi to Freedom now! :) Although I still have my Malaysian Studies paper to complete this Fri. Buttt…
Sem 2 is over for now (because I don’t study for Malaysian Studies!), all I wish for is to at least pass. Ok, let’s skip this sad part.
2. Seventeen Oct ’10. Ok, nothing interesting to share about the past 2 weeks I’ve gone MIA. Checked the Calendar even, filled with college nonsense. Buttt… (ok, I have to stop doing this buttt thing)
the most interesting thing I can find is : I did another photoshoot with Seventeen!!! This time it’s with some of the girls & it’s Oxy spread. I love what they did to my hair! So, if you want to know what, stay tuned! :) Better yet, buy the mag!
3. Fast food ftw. As you can see in this post, it has been confirmed, MCD is my new best friend! Come on, be nice and say hello! :)
So, I have this thing that before my exams, I’ll tend to eat a lot (stress what!). Not healthy food, but, very very unhealthy food. Surprisingly, my body can take it. Well, maybe not. I do fall sick often before or during exams. Unlike someone, after (which is party time!!!). Points to BunnyBoy*
4. Uneventful much. I’ve been skipping events here and there, not so good. The last was MTV Worldstage & guess what? Worst concert ever!!!
I’ll be back in the hometown starting this Sat! Then Singapore with the best friend, Elaine Kok from the 15th to the 18th. Can’t wait!!! :)
Ok, just starting to get a hold of this whole blogging thing again,
wait for more! Pouts* :)
I'm definitely a dream chaser and I believe that there is no such thing as overdoing.
I'm a fighter and I don't give up and I fight all the way until I win.
I'm no pretender and I'm a straightforward and honest person.
I strongly live by, "good things come to those who wait".
Blog
Blogging started from wanting to keep a journal so I can look or track back, everything here that is properly organized.
It's still for the same reason.
As stated in blog title, "Just A Glimpse".
Everything here is not everything.
In short, if you think you know me, read my blog and think again.
