Melaka 2D1N trip

I went down to Melaka with my family on last weekend (23-24 May 209). The main purpose is actually to get all my bro's rubbish back. He will be finishing his foundation study in MMU Melaka this week. Since we are going all the way down to Melaka, as usual, we decided to stay one night there and enjoy ourselves. This time, we chose Straits Meridian Hotel, which is just next to Melaka mosque.

We booked a suite for around RM150, comes with two breakfasts. The room is facilitate with a separate bedroom, a kitchenette, bathroom, small living room and a dining table. A few pictures below showing theroom.
This my little bro in white with his best pal, Joshua posting in the living room.

After some rests, we head to Dataran Pahlawan. Too excited and I had totally forgot to take pictures.

We head to Melaka River around 7pm.

St. Xavier chuch, which situated opposite to Melaka river.

Old houses can be seen all along the Melaka river. I just like this place. It gives me the vacation feel. Melaka government must have put a lot of money to transform this area to a lovely tourist spot. Melaka river was once famous with its polution, but now you can hardly smell anything. There are internet cafe, handicraft shops, cafe, bistros along the river.

Walking path along Melaka river.
While I was enjoying my walk along the river, suddenly I saw this. A cat sleeping beside an aloe vera plant inside a pot. It even looked into the camera when I was shooting it. -_-"


Waited for some time, just to capture the boat, in Melaka river. haha...
This is a new building at the entrance to Jonker Street. Not sure how new it is, at least last year it was not here.
A family photo to proof that we had really came here. :)
Visiting the shop, "sam sook gung" or 三叔公 in chinese. It's nicely renovated. It also has a cafe in it where you can have some light refreshments.
Trying durian chendol at the attached cafe. I dunno how to describe the taste, its just... so durian... RM5.80 per bowl.

Heading to Jonket Street for food.

We had our dinner at the most famous chendol shop. Hou Jiak had shooted this restaurant before and ever since then, we had to queue for a long time to get our food. We ordered 3 different noodles and of course the famous chendol.

Inner decoration of the famous restaurant. I am not sure how old is this building and I am not sure the restaurant's name too.

The famous chendol. However I think it's not as nice as last time. The gula Melaka macam not as "phang" or "hiong" as last time. RM1.70 per bowl.

Baba laksa. A little spicy, you can taste the fish clearly. I guess they are using tuna flakes in oil. :D A lot of coconut milk. If you do not like coconut milk, its a no-no dish for you. For me, its ok as I enjoy coconut milk. RM3.50 per bowl.

Nyonya Asam laksa. They serve this with tuna too, just as what I mentioned about Baba laksa. This asam laksa taste differently with Penang laksa. Penang laksa is sour and a little sweet at the background. But for this Nyonya Asam laksa, its very sour and a little salty. No prawn paste. I still prefer the Penang laksa more. RM3.50 per bowl.

Rendang chicken. A little spicy, I guess this is the concentrated version of the Baba laksa. Although this does not come with tuna. It's a lot richer in coconut milk if compare to Baba laksa. RM3.50 per bowl.

After dinner, we walked around Jonker street and did some shopping. I bought a bag. RM15. I guess I should have bargained, but that time I was too happ and paid the money without saying anything. I just... love the bag... Anyway, it's canvas and I think it's kinda worth the money... (trying to psycho myself a bit)

And my sis bought one pair of beatle slippers. Recently she had crazily fall in love with beatles. Another new item for her beatles collections. RM10.

My sis bought one pair of cute ear rings too. My little bro bought two Samurai swords and two Japanese umbrella whereas Joshua, bought a hat and a pair of couple T-shirts. Too bad that I forgot to take pictures of all those.

Something to talk about during our way back to get our car. I saw two polices taking care of traffic on a horse. Wow~ I thought this would only happen in oversea. Suddenly realise that our Malaysian police can be so "yeng" too. *shyshy*
And you think that's the end? No no, more amazing thing coming. Do you know what I saw directly opposite the "yau yeng" police? Watch the video below:

Tell me, who had ever seen policewoman dancing by the roadside before? while wearing full uniform?
