After a long journey on bus, we reached Malacca around 5pm, we had a quick meal at Macdonalds and head to Hatten Hotel via taxi. The taxi ride cost us about RM20.00. After reaching Hatten hotel, we were being ushered to a premium lounge. At that point of time, I am in a puzzled state, didn't know what I have signed up. We got light refreshment while we checked in. It wasn't great but at least I feel pampered.
After checking in, we start our journey to Jonker Street, a Chinese night market, where stalls stretches for Kilometres. It was a pleasant night. We had peranakan at Eleven Cafe, and some beer before we call it a night.
Day Two, we woke up around 9++ and went to the sky lounge for breakfast, the buffet was rather localised. We got nasi lemak, dim sum and some english breakfast. It was awkward, or I would put it a waste of calories intake in Malacca, as there are so many beautiful delicacy which we could try later on. Without any hesitant, we then proceed with a day Tour in Malacca, we started off with the river cruise to understand more about the culture. We then had a coffee by the river, which was rather relaxing.
We also went to a chicken rice shop for lunch, the drumstick was good but rather expensive. We then found out the place was a rip off for tourist.
After that, we went to one of the antiques shops in jonker street, we were shown a few pieces of porcelain from at least 100 hundreds years ago. We learned abit more about the history of Malacca and how porcelain would end up in Malacca. We then got ourselves tickets to one of the Museums in Jonker street, we learned more about Baba Nyonya. It seems that the information I was given when I was young was rather misleading. It would be best to learn it ourselves.
After that, due to the hot weather, we decided to go Geographer Cafe for a quick Sip, I had lime Juice, while Miss J had Espirit Passion. She also mentioned that "I likes my drinks and my boyfriend", I was rather happy to hear that.
After a short learning session at the museum, we then walked towards Jonker street 88, where is famous for its Kahwin Laksa and also Ice Cendols, it was around 4pm and the queue was shorter. In fact, there wasn't any queue at all. We managed to just walked in, grab ourselves a good sit, and laksa almost instantaneous. Miss J liked the Laksa, while I enjoyed the Chendols. I am glad to see Miss J enjoying herself in one of the small town in Malaysia. Somehow, I could imagine one day we could just spend days here.
After briefly filled ourselves with Laksa at Jonker street 88, we then moved to Nancy, which reopens at 430pm. When we reached around 425pm, it has a long queue already. We were lucky to be able to go in at the first round. We ordered Duck, Pork and also top hat. It was awesome. Definitely worth going back the second round, Bernard did recommend this place to me.
After Nancy's Kitchen, we then stroll around Jonker street and head back to Parkson for a quick shopping. We went to Mahkota parade and did our shopping for our new place. Things are relatively cheaper in Melaka. No wonder Singaporean like to come Malaysia.
After that, we then went back to Hotel, showered, made ourselves some tea, read some books and discuss about plans for the future. It was rather like a heart to heart talk, and also some review of our own character for the past and how to do it better in the future. I am glad that we started of something together and got a common objective now.
After cups of tea, long chat and a few chapters, I then call it a night.
Day 3: This will be our last day in Malacca, woke up around 8 o clock and packed our stuff, we then went for the unworthy breakfast as it is free just to fill up our stomach. After our breakfast, we then went back to our room and prepare for our journey back to Singapore. Upon checking out, we then go to the nearest shopping mall to do our final purchase. E.g. Chewing gums, body lotion etc.
We hopped on our bus around 230pm and reached Singapore Lavender Station around 730pm.
It was a pleasant trip and looking forward to another one soon.
