Melaka Trip 2009

Melaka, is known as the place that gave birth to Malaysia. Well, thanks to Indonesian-Ran-Away-Prince Parameswara who accidentally rest under the Melaka tree and saw a kancil knocked his guard dog into the river. After he saw this, he named the place Melaka....

Ok, that's enough for the history part. So this was my 1st trip in this sem break. Last weekend I went there with Joel Thean, Weng Hong and also my girlfriend on the 12th and stayed over for a night..hehe..

We departed from PJ at 8am and went all the way to Melaka through North South highway and arrived there at around 11am.

Tadaa...Joel's car..with his 'P' there..lol..Jonker Walk, Melaka.

Brunch: Nyonya Rendang Mee at Jonker Walk

Melaka Cendol + Nyonya Rendang + Nyonya Laksa = Yummylicious..lol

After the brunch, we went to the Heritage Sites of Melaka..

Victoria Fountain at the Red Parade, erected by the people of Melaka.

St. Paul Church

Around 12 noon, we met Joel's uncle, who provides us the free 5 star accommodation, came to meet us and pass us the key...

and he brought us here for lunch..

nice interior design of the restaurant..

the kind and generous Joel's uncle..hehe

After the lunch, we went to Everly Resort Hotel, the place that we stayed...

The view from the 11th floor.

and we rested until dinner...

The place we had our dinner.

Jonker Walk, night view =)

and we saw a group of aunties and uncles are dancing on the stage! line dancing!

posing with the trishaw

the couple ring that I bought for my dear..

We found a place where clubbers and youngsters would surely love to hang out late in the night..

Arena! somewhere near jetty. A clubbing place where you can drink and dance all night long here. We didn't go in. Too expensive.

As you walk further and go through the karaoke lounge at the jetty, you will reach one of the most romantic places in Melaka. This open air bar serves beverages and you can enjoy it here with your loved one.

Day 2

We woke up at around 10am and packed our belongings.

Joel trying to get himself drunk with mineral water early in the morning!

We came here for lunch. Makko, claims that it serve the best Nyonya food in town

Clockwise from left: Mixed vege soup, Pong Teh Chicken, Mutton Curry, Terung belacan

Pong Teh chicken and Mutton Curry are must-try!! very scrumptious!!!

Went to Menara Taming Sari after the lunch

This 40 meter revolving tower will bring you up into the sky to enjoy the view of whole Melaka.
It cost RM10 per person if you have Mycard.
If not, RM20.

Double-Decker! It brings you to tour around the town.

So, that's all for this Melaka trip. Special thanks to Joel for being the pathetic driver and his uncle for the free room.

P.S. I must say...Melaka has developed quite a lot in terms of tourism and also the cleaniness of the city has improved a lot. Guess what..

Graffiti is completely legal in Melaka. =)
