A 3D2N Trip to Malacca - 17 - 19 June 2011

The last time i had a vacation was probably...*gasp*...my Popular Culture trip to Taman Negara LAST YEAR in May !!! Unless if you wanna count the couple times i slept over at my friend's house during my internship last Nov-Dec. Other than that, i live a lifeless life.

My college friends and i have been talking about going on trips for almost a year now. So far it was all just talk because we have assignments, our timetable clashes, we have someone's birthday to attend to, we don't have a car, and lastly and sadly - we don't have money.

Then FINALLY, one of my high school friend's 21st birthday was coming up and she wanted it to be different so we planned a trip to Malacca. We aren't usually this active or spontaneous but i guess there comes a time when we just have to go for it *I think my AMW lecturer's way of words are getting to me*.

I'm not gonna keep rambling like an old lady,
Enjoy the pictures and get a gist of what we did there for 3 days.

Day 1

 Afternoon view of a clear Jonker Street
 Jonker Street's main tourist eating spots.

Nyonya Cendol & Nyonya Ice Kacang = RM3 each
OVERRATED !!!
My mamak back in KL makes better cendol and ice kacang.
 Baba Nyonya Laksa - RM5
OVERRATED !!!
Doesn't taste as good as last time anymore.
 Apple-Peach flavor, only sold in Malacca
 Jonker Street getting ready for their night market
 For the first time i said i liked asam laksa.
 Surprisingly it wasn't oily at all unlike KL's char kueh teow - and CHEAP !!
 Lotus
This damn cool looking car made all the other cars looked like trash
 Taming Sari Tower
RM20 (RM10 for MyCard holders)
 It was so cool. 
The tower took us up and spun the room in slow motion and slowly descended.
The Night View was so awesome !!

Day 2
This is the day we got sunburned ^^

 Chicken Rice Ball
Dutch fortress with canons facing the river
 Sultanate Watermill.
I read that the government doesn't want to waste their money to repair the watermill.
 RM3 for the sunken Portuguese ship ' Flor De La Mar' museum (replica)
 Christ Church a.k.a major tourist attraction spot.
There's a bazaar right beside the church.
 A' Famosa Fort
 Inside A'Famosa Fortress
 Klebang Beach
The beach had strong winds so we bought a RM20 kite to play.
"Look Ma ! No legs !!"
 We stayed to see the sunset
It'll be a waste if you didn't try Nyonya food when you're in Malacca.
 Cincalok Omelet
 Asam Pedas Fish
I forgot the name of this dish ^^
I do know its chicken wrap
Pongteh Chicken
Three of us spent RM75 for Day 2's dinner.

 Day 3
We wanted to try the other Nyonya Restaurant, Ole Sayang - but it opens at 11.30.
So we crossed the busy streets of Melaka Raya 3 times looking for somewhere to eat and ended going to Brother John, its like OldTown, PapaRich, Hailam Kopitiam all that~
 Seafood Otak-otak Fried Rice
 Nasi Lemak Special
 Yee-mee ^^

 Dataran Pahlawan open field
 Nadeje cafe/cake shop
Located in Dataran Pahlawan Center Court - Upper Basement - beside OldTown
 Double Chocolate Mille Crepe Cake
 Cheese Mille Crepe Cake
 Strawberry Short Cake
 Back to Jonker Street to buy pineapple tarts
 Freshly baked pineapple tarts smells damn aromatic

Golden crispy pineapple tarts

Durian Cream Puffs
 Too bad i don't eat durians
