We started our day in Melaka with a local favourite, chicken rice balls for lunch at Huang Chang Chicken Rice Restaurant. The chicken rice balls were soft, fragrant, and flavourful, making them enjoyable even on their own. The chicken was served warm, but the breast meat was a little dry and didn't taste particularly fresh. My partner enjoyed the meal more, especially with the drumstick cut, which was juicier and more satisfying.  We also ordered an iced barley and Chinese tea. The tea was, as usual, refreshing, while the iced barley was still much sweeter than expected despite our request for less sugar.

I ordered the JB wantan noodles with thin noodles served dry in a small portion, while my partner chose the Chaah wantan noodles with slightly thicker noodles, also served dry in a small portion. The noodles are available dry, in soup, or with curry, and both bowls came topped with slices of char siu and pork lard. I personally preferred the JB wantan noodles. The thin noodles were springy with a satisfying bite, and the seasoning coated them well, giving each mouthful plenty of flavour. They tasted even better when mixed with the fresh green chili on the side, which added a clean, crisp heat without overpowering the noodles. The char siu was thinly sliced with a light swee...
