Saturday Ice Cafe Melaka

As a boy, a few friends had told me that there is a Saturday Ice Cafe at the junction of the Praya Lane after CHIJ. The first impression was "Oh, the cafe only open for business on Saturday" But why Saturday only ? The final guesses were, maybe only on Saturday, there were more customers, maybe only on Saturday, special beverages or ice desserts were prepared, or Saturday is the day to begin to rest through Sunday after a week of word and it is time to enjoy on a Saturday cafe, ...

Not until I learnt to cycle and upon a few cycling to friends' home on Praya Lane, I couldn't what Saturday Ice Cafe offers. My first bowl of ABC rock the taste and soon 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th .... bowl follow. Until today, ABC is my favorite. ABC is a short name for Air Batu Campur which means Mixed Ice.
