Melaka Melaka!!!

Dear and I decided to go for a short trip during my 'long' December holiday. So where shall we go? Let's drive up to Malacca!!!!!

On our way to Melaka....

...with Buddha guiding the way.

Giant Sor Da Pia!!!!! *hungry*

Nice scenery along the way. Surprisingly.

We took a wrong exit and almost got lost. But in the end, we still managed to find our way and we were reaching Melaka! 52km more!!!!

We were in search of some food in Jonker Street after checking into our hotel. Yong Chun Mian?

Malacca's streetscape is so interesting.

We wanted to try Melaka's 'infamous' chicken rice balls. But the queues at all the outlets were insanely long! Finally, we settled for Jonker Dessert 88! Dear did some research and said this place is famous for their chendol. Their gula-melaka is so thick that the spoon can't even sink beyond it. Haha.

Finally found a seat inside after queuing up for my food in the scorching hot sun.

The owner must be a Buddhist.

Our Dessert!!!

..and Assam Laksa!! Very yummy!!!!

Dear loves his dry noodles!!!!

And I love my Chendol!!!!

Antiques on their staircase.

Bullock Cart Bank in their restaurant too. This place is like a musuem.

On our way back to hotel and Dear said this alley looked interesting. What you think?

See what see ah!! Never see people take photos of bowls and chopsticks before ah?!?!?!

After a short rest in the hotel, we started our adventure at Malacca River! Maciam he founded Malacca. >_<

Shun bian came to visit my cousin's wedding. Haha. No la. Just some random strangers who were taking their wedding pictures.

Do you have an Eye on Malaysia?

The must-take-photo spot.

The infamous red church that we always see in shows. Yes. I know I looked spastic.

Paid 2RM to take a photo on this trishaw loh. They really know how to earn $$$.

The Maritime Musuem. We didn't know that we had to pay entrance fees as we entered by crossing the side walls. Haha. Heng we didn't pay too. If not really PCN. Nothing to see one.

Basically, it is just a ship with 2 cabins which displayed a few posters.

We reached St Francis Church!!! Yippee!!!!

I am feeling holy. See my halo?

St Francis: "Where's my hand?"

BOO!

Call me San Shu Gong!

Jonker = Chicken farm?

The famous durian chendol in San Shu Gong.

Dinner at Geographer's Cafe which was recommended by Matt.

1 bucket of tiger for 45RM!! Happy~~

After dinner, we went back hotel and Dear was amazed by how cheap the food were in the room service menu. In the end, we ordered a plate of char kuay tiao and seafood beancurd. *shakes head*

After eating so much for Day 1, we still had an unsatisfying appetite on the next day. After we had breakfast in the hotel, we embarked on our nonya-themed tour for Day 2. We went past the chicken rice balls restaurants but with no queues this time. As it was only 10am! Dear said, "Why not? If not, you will complain we didn't eat the famous chicken rice balls though we went to Melaka."

No big deal. Rice that were too hard. Chicken that were cut badly and not tender. Even the chicken rice I cooked was nicer. I swear. I am just thankful we didn't have to queue to eat this.

Nonya tour for Day 2.

Act handsome.

Act lady.

Their entrances are so interesting.

Dear simply loves to jump.

Time for lunch. Nonya food of course. The food was good but the experience was unpleasant unfortunately. Waited for almost an hour for our food. And had a Singaporean family waiting impatiently for us to finish our food so that they could have the table. Rude children who told their parents, "Huh? I don't want to share table!" Fucking hell. Like we want to share with you loh. Fucking spoilt brats. Dear purplely ordered another chendol to prolong our meal. Haha. Singaporeans always think they are so high-class but behave like barbarians. It is so easy to spot them when you are overseas. Via their ugly behaviour.

Time to go back to Singapore!!! Check out the number of coupons we used.

The only thing in Malaysia that is better than Singapore's.

Basically, you scratch the numbers on the coupon. So fun! I would volunteer to help Dear scratch the coupon every time! And no one can play cheat and reuse with this kind of coupons, which a lot of cheapo Singaporeans like to do so.

On our way back. And Dear was not sleeping though he looked like he was.

Vacuum Sect?

WTH????

We finally got home and I had a sorethroat which led to a very bad cough which I am still having now. Haiz. Had 2 weeks of leave but sick for 1 week. Utter sian-ness. Won't be going Malacca in the near future I guess, as we have pretty much covered everything in that 2 days. Beside the only downside which is the ridiculously hot weather (they should seriously plant more trees), it was an enjoyable trip. Lotsa good food. Cheap stuffs, including the beer. It seemed so much safer as compared to JB and KL too. Rich in heritage and culture. Lotsa colours and vibrancy. Lovezzzz~~~~
