Opposite the road from Melaka Sentral, there's Taman Cempaka's Food Market. I love to try markets in different states as sometimes I find that the same kuih can taste very differently way way way out of town. And sometimes, they crave for different things as well. For example, one of the top selling hawker there is a grilled chicken Stall called Ayam Bakar Bangsar (Bangsar Grilled Chicken). Wow, whilst people in KL crave for nyonya food, chicken rice balls, cendol and other stuff, Melaka people likes KL's Bangsar Grilled Chicken. People even had to reserve for the next day if they are to be guaranteed a piece.

Next, in the wierd world of food... we get Murtabak Maggi... also a best seller. Maggi Kari used as a filling instead of the typical meats. This one also is a fast selling dish. Come late and all you have is just the sign below an empty tray. As you can see, there's only one left. No points guessing who that belongs to

Whatever stuff they sell, they do it well. There is the appam balik pulut hitam with coconut shavings which I have never seen and...,

... of course kuih bakar which looked very delicious on the tray, amongst the mee rebus'es, kebabs, popiahs and dinner dishes....
