This would be the last chapter on food. I would like to highlight 2 very interesting and yummy desserts/snacks which we had in Melaka - durian puffs and mille crepe. The former is a very common snack in Singapore while the latter is quite an unknown, at least for me....
The shop that sells the durian puffs is located about 2 shops away from the famous Jonker 88 eatery. Besides durian puffs, they have durian ice cream and pineapple tarts. We tried both the ice cream and the puffs. They were fantastic! As it was too hot outside, we had both in the shop. It would be good if they could put some tables and chairs for the customers to dine in. The puffs were special, quite unlike what we normally had back home. The fillings were very creamy. It is almost like eating ice cream wrapped in the choux pastry. When no. 2 took the first bite, the fillings squirted out and some went to his shirt.
We had mille crepe at Nadeje cafe in Dataran Pahlawan Megamall. Mille crepe is actually made by layering crepes with cream. Mille is a French word and it means "thousands". We ordered 3 flavours: original, tiramisu and double chocolate. At RM8.50 per slice, they were pricey but they were all worth it! Personally, I think the original one is the best. Reason being, I could taste each layer more distinctly as compared to the other 2 flavours. How I wish we could have that in Singapore. A friend of mine sent me the recipe and I realised it is actually not very difficult to make the cake. The process is tedious though as it requires making several pieces of crepe which perhaps explain why the cake is rather expensive.

I really miss all the good food we had in Melaka. Can't wait to go back again!
