Melaka: Nancy's Kitchen, M2 Food Studio, Heng Heng Fish Noodle

-

After the trip to Peranakan Mansion, we didn't really want to dine at another peranakan restaurant the next day but  we were sort of clueless on what to have. Fortunately, later, I remember that Ban wanted pie ti and so we searched online for restaurants that served pie ti. After some discussion, we settled on Nancy's Kitchen.

 

Pie ti was beautifully plated. Visually attractive. It was delicious and crunchy. The unusual addition of a tiny bit of tomato puree enhanced its flavour. Highly recommended. I passed my commendation to the staff manning the cashier.


Chap chai was good. Tasted similar Peranakan Mansion's but the latter was better plated.

Chak Bek was quite nice. Salty sourish. We were surprised at its servicing size (there was only one size): it was about two third the size of the chap chai. Fyi the chap chai was of small serving too.

 

For one dinner outing, I wanted something that had substantial amount of vegetables. So, we asked for recommendation from the hotel's staff for chap fan shops. We chose the nearest but unfortunately, there was not much food and more importantly, we saw flies on some food đŸ˜¬So, googled nearby food places and settled on the food court M2 Food Studio.

After looking around, I settled on dry mee hoon kuay mainly because it's difficult to get this dish. Paid extra RM 1 for extra vegetable. Worth the extra. Other ingredient portion was pretty good too. However, the taste was a little bland without the chilli paste. I probably won't have it again because I prefer non-spicy.



 

On our last day in Melaka, Ban had mild diarrhea and so wanted noodle soup for lunch. First place (a China-based restaurant) was too expensive: around RM 30! Second place was fully packed. We finally settled on Heng Heng Fish Noodle.

We both ordered the yee keaw noodle: soup version for him, dry version for me. I was surprised the dry version's sauce is clear i.e. no hint of soy sauce or dark soy sauce. Its taste wasn't bad but it was better after I added dark soy cause. The soup was not salty, quite nice.

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 2)

(continue from Part 1 ) Yates Anatomist/Wizard Counter: Cripple Secondary passives: Blessed One, Smart Casting Anatomist is the best healer in game due to the passive Legendary Healer, which also then boost the amount of self-healing by Blessed One. Although Ban thinks Anatomist's Dark spells are sufficient in dealing damage and so he suggests Alchemyst as Yate's secondary class, I choose Wizard for the following reasons: Quite often, demonic creatures have Dark immunity and other creatures have immunity to other elements. So having Dark, Water, Fire, Earth and Thunder spells enable Yates to cast the most suitable spell, especially when the enemies are vulnerable to certain elements. Flexible casting :) Smart Casting is useful so that I don't need to worry much about the positioning of the enemies relative to my other characters when using Mass Healing and the area effect damage spells. As stated in previous post , there "are so many devastating Skill ba...

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 1)

-
Here are the character builds for my current run (with the help of Ban): Kyrie Fellblade/Marked Counter: Slow Secondary passives: Execute, Life Font Fellblade itself is a good class because of the various conditions it can inflict and most importantly they can inflict Sleep. Iirc, the only other human class that can do this is Gadgeteer. Their passive Malice increases the chance of landing it by 10%. Fellblade pairs well with Marked because both use ATK and MND in their offensive abilities. Also, Fellblade's abilities are mostly short range whereas Marked has some long range abilities. Execute for more damage. Life Font is for suvivability. Ban opined that with two healers, there's no need for Life Font but I discover that it enables Kyrie to survive just enough for a healer to heal her up, after having received massive damage. Ban advocated for Marked/Fellblade for superior Speed (1.00 vs 0.92) and defense (heavy armor). I resisted this for a long time because I ...
