Looking for a meal in round shape? Never overlooked at the chicken rice balls… Yes, one of the Malacca’s legacy — The Hainamese Chicken Rice Balls, the rice on the move.
Steam rice served as a ball is highly *portable*, allowing consumers to enjoy their meal on the move, without cutlery, many tourist take-away from his shop and bring back home to Hong Kong or Taiwan Well, it is perfectly presentable on the table, too.
Its existence since 400 years ago, Cheng Hoon Teng is a nailless building, not even a single nail on the structure! You must be curious, how can a building built without using nail?
“Nothing so complicated, imagine, what on earth a nail was in that century?” Josephine L. C. Chua, a heritage conservation activist, commented.
Joy as Malacca and George Town acquired status of Cultural World Heritage by UNESCO, Cheng Hoon Teng shine brighter then never before. Its architecture, colours, decorations, once again, prove the wisdom and art of the ancestors.
Even though most aspect of Cheng Hoon Teng was not black-and-white recorded, but it show everything “as is” since built.
This is a place almost forgotten by most of Malaysians, especially Malaccans, who live just nearby. After the appearance of North South Highway, replacing ‘ the major passage’ status of this place, thanks to that, this place is nicely preserved, with all the natural environment and greenery.
In conjunction with the World Environment Day (5th June), I wish to share this particular place to the world. To prove that Malaysian is putting effort to the environment, even though yet to be in big scale.
