Jalan Jalan Cari Makan

For some food lovers, this pic might look quite familiar. Anyway, I was back in Melaka with my gf over the Christmas weekend. As usual, it's food marathon whenever we're back in Melaka. This time around, we tried something new. It's the beef bakuteh which is situated in Bukit Baru just opposite the Kastam.

Well, actually I tried it once when I was young. I remembered it was my grandpa who brought me there. And that was the only one time I ever tried this rather famous beef bakuteh. Being a proud Malaccan, it can be quite embarrassing, knowing very little about this stall when colleagues asked me about it. So this time around, since my gf insisted, we decided to give it a try.

Hmmm what can I say. It simply smells good. But trust me it tastes different from the normal bakuteh. For those who loves the normal pork bakuteh, this will be something new. Depending on your liking, some might just love it. I still prefer the pork bakuteh! But I have to admit, the beef was delicious! It's neither too raw nor too cooked. Just nice and very tender.

For those interested, this stall is operating from a house. If you're coming from Ayer Keroh toll, head towards the town. After passing Jaya Jusco which is on your right hand side, you will come to a traffic light. You either turn right or go straight. Choose to go straight and immediately you will come to another traffic light. Turn left and you will find a row of houses on your right hand side. Look for that Loi's Bakuteh & Beef Stall sign. It's opposite the Kastam.

Happy food hunting.

Happy New Year 2007!
