Siu to Malacca

Day 1


This is my very first post here. First of all I would like to apologize to Kean for this late post as I had promised him earlier before this. Due to some unavoidable circumstances, I was unable to fulfill my promise but late is better than never right? :P Time really flies...6 months had passed..wth but within this 6 months we had been to places around Malaysia. I would like to share our experiences in Malacca on the 1st of May 2009. We started our journey at 10 am +++ from seremban and we reached Malacca around 12noon ++.



Our first stop was Chung Wah Chicken Rice Shop. We queued up for sometime before we could enjoy the hainanese chicken rice ball. (Personally, I think it's just ordinary but anyway it's a new thing to me..lol) This is our hainanese chicken rice ball. To you guys out there who have not try this, give a try then.

After lunch, we visited the historical buildings around the city of Malacca. We took lots of pictures around.

Some building painted red :P

Too "flowery" XD

A Famosa Fort

After been walking around for the whole day, it was time for dinner. We had our dinner at Ban Lee Siang Satay Celup at Jalan Ong Kim Wee (it took us awhile to find this place :P) OMG when we reached there, there were so many people in front of the shop. Everyone was waiting to grab the seat like vultures waiting for the prey to die lolx. But we manage to get a table after waiting for sometime. OMG the satay celup was the best food I ever had in Malacca. The sauce was superb and the price was reasonable.

We went to Jonker Walk after dinner for the night market. Lots of things to buy and eat. But SOMEONE did not manage to get her bag there (T.T) lolx (not sure what will happen to me for posting this here). Well....we also missed to try out the cendol on that night because they ran out of ice blocks...gosh so disappointed.


Nights in Malacca were simply gorgeous. Buildings and trishaws decorated with colourful lights. We intended to go for a boat ride on Malacca River but it was very disappointing when the TAXI DRIVERS in Malacca PURPOSELY gave us the longer direction to the enterance for the boat ride. They were so inconsiderate and cruel. CURSE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!@#$@#%$@$%$@

The deco lights

Venice?????

Our first day ended as we headed back to our service apartment beside Station 3 (after dim sum supper :P)


Day 2

Our second day started with breakie at some coffee shop (sorry guys, I could not recall the name of this shop)

The next stop was the Taming Sari Tower. Breath-taking views from the top of the tower and we never missed the chance to take some pictures up there.

After visiting the Taming Sari Tower, we visited the ship museum and a few more places around the city of Malacca.
We finally get to taste Malacca cendol. Although this was not the best but at least we tasted gula melaka cendol, durian cendol and some dodol if I'm not mistaken.

The journey continued with the search for Baba Nyonya restaurant but it was disappointing when we found the restaurant had close after lunch hours. So we had to have our lunch at some hawker centre. The foods there were quite alright only and nothing special. After lunch we headed back to Jonker Walk to grab some pineapple tarts before heading back to Seremban.
On our way back, we stopped by at Dataran Sejarah to take some pictures before continuing our journey back.


I apologize for short details and descriptions on the events on this post but let the pictures do their work in this post. "A picture speaks a thousand words"
