Rice Balls, Warm Hugs & Uncle Energy : Ei Ji Ban, Malacca

Had lunch at Ei Ji Ban Rice Ball Restaurant, and honestly??
I think I accidentally joined a happy cult of chicken rice and friendliness. 😭❤️

The boss greeted me like I’m his long-lost cousin from Melaka.
I said, “One set please.”
He said, “One set?? Not enough lahhh!”
Suddenly I’m holding more food than my stomach emotionally prepared for. 💀

The chicken—juicy.
The rice balls—iconic.
The boss—should run for Prime Minister.
He got customer service, humour, and uncle energy all in one. 🫡

I came hungry.
I left full, happy, and slightly more attached to the restaurant than I should be.
Might bring a Tupperware next time… just in case. 😌
