Short Weekend Trip to MALACCA (Day 1)

WELCOME TO MALACCA

Yes, short weekend getaway to the neighbouring country on school holidays.
How exciting to get stucked in traffic jam during peak period travelling.

Reached the hotel, judging by the usual off-peak estimated timing, we were late by 2 hours.


2 Single beds - soft and hard to choose.


DearBoy and his family members - uncle, aunt, niece, mum, sister


Upon checking into the hotel, we headed out to the centralised tourism area by foot.


Yes, tourism area. Apparently they were promoting tourism hence the performance.


Rickshaw for a ride? Per a wall notice, it's RM 40.00 for one hour, who believes?


The long walk of stairs up the church, which we didn't attempt to try.


Hot hot day and I've reached the official tourist area - the red church.





DearBoy's attempt of an artistic shot by the river.
Thanks to the strong wind, my centre hair parting is made so obvious.


It's funny to see Happy New Year greetings on display in the month of June.


Singaporeans everywhere!


Good hot stuff to buy, anybody?


DearBoy having some traditional ice popsicle to quench his thirst.


Yes, it proves to be effective and his niece is enjoying it totally!


Heritage place I say, as I see a lot of different dialects clans there.

The Hokkien Clan

Fresh BBQ cuttlefish for sale! RM10.00 for a small packet.
Expensive but still worth the money.


First food-stop: Jonker88
The sister and BF were queuing up to buy desserts - the famous ice chendol.


A small restaurant full of heritage.



Interesting posters with Chinese sayings:

Appreciate those who had cheated you, as they have increased your knowledge of the World.


Baba Laksa, served with a spoon of tuna (UNIQUE)


Nonya Assam laksa, I love the sourish taste of the soup :)


Die die must try: ICE CENDOL RM2.50
I had mine served with durian as topping!
The brown liquid is liquified brown sugar (GULA MELAKA), super nice!
(Can't find in Singapore)


The big menu at its doorstep with a long list of ice cold desserts to try!


A library in the middle of the long stretch of shophouses.
I wonder if it's for real, hmmm...


JONKER WALK, many lanes of shophouses selling souvenirs and food by day, and MORE by night.


The accurate description of JONKER WALK


My dialect - Hainan Clan


Click Clock Click Clock - Colourful CLOGS for sale!


Air-conditioned short break at a local products shop


Big foot massage shop, for those who are tired from walking all day long....


I never knew I can look so ugly *AHEM* LOL.


Girlfriend has become his family photographer. LOL.


*ahem* Still, somebody will still be kind to help us take a pico :)


Artistic shot by DearBoy



The lane within the red church selling souvenirs.


Me trying to be funny, as usual....


Sun setting soon...


Having our XXXth break by the street...
Father, Aunt, Niece, Mother, Sister, Boyfriend.


Trying to be creative, haha!


Dinner at Nancy's Kitchen
A place famous for Peranakan food and hangs 2 Singapore flags within the restaurant.


Menu - peranakan kuehs


Tired me with the refreshing drink - Hog Plum Juice aka Jus Kedodong
Tasted raw but refreshing~! (MUST TRY!)


Some dinner dishes (unable to provide names cos the receipt/bill is not with me)


Kueh Pie Ti! Must eat as it's their authentic dish.
It's a cup made with thick cracker, served with popiah fillings.


Overview of the first level shopfloor, kitchen on the left, cashier on the right.


Do give it a try, you won't be surprised to see MANY singaporeans having their meals there.


Streetside pushcarts selling food - JAPANESE sushi, surprise!


Getai - singing platform for members only.
Bring your own tape, dare to sing on stage and they will record your singing in your tape for free!


Muar Otah for supper in the hotel!


Tornado potato (deep-fried potato cut in spiral-shaped)


Last pico of the day to sum up DAY ONE :)
Yes, I was alone in the room watching FIREWORKS while somebody was in toilet doing business.
