Queue for food

Last weekend when i was in Malacca, i saw an unusual scene in front of two Chicken Rice Shops



Was there a free lunch? Nope, in fact it was the tourist that went to Malacca and wanted to taste the popular Chicken Rice Ball. My friend and i decided to give these shops a pass for this round. The shop that we usually visit is Chung Wah (refer to the first picture) which claimed that the first Chicken Rice Ball shop.

So, what is Chicken Rice Ball?



It's actually the Hainanese steam chicken and the rice. The different is the rice they made it to a ball. But if you haven't tried this chicken rice before, it's worth to give it a try.
