Melaka Trip Part 1

So, last Monday was a public holiday. Me and my friends decided to take a road trip down to Melaka for food and sightseeing. We took off in the morning and there was me, Way Shoon, Crystal and Sze Ling. It's a two hour trip down to Melaka, i've never drive on the North-South Expressway after KL. We reached Melaka at ard 11 and head straight to town. There wasn't anything to see around Ayer Keroh on the way to town. There are a few farms such as butterfly farm, crocodile farm and so on. So in we went into Melaka Town. There are a lot of one way streets in Melaka, makes it kinda confusing. We parked at Jonker Street and headed down for lunch. 

Our first stop was this small cendol stall where there are so many coke collectibles that could actually make him a millionaire.

The Nyonya Cendol here is very tasty. It's different compared to the cendols i have back in Penang, mostly due to the Gula Melaka. One spoon makes me want it more. It's really one of the must try when you're in Melaka.

The stall is just right in front of the Chicken Rice Ball Shop, Hoe Kee Hainan Chicken Rice Shop. That's where we headed after having our cendol!

Not many pictures were taken in the shop cause we were very hungry. Although the girls did have time to camwhore.

Chicken Rice Balls!

Me Hungry!

It was kinda delicious. The rice balls look like fish balls and they won't break as though they are glued together but once you bite it, it does not feel all goey or sticky, it tastes and feels like rice. Awesome eh.

After our lunch, we walked around Jonker Street looking around.

Goofing Around.

We walk around and enter a few shops, nothing really catches my eye. It's actually kinda expensive to buy stuff there. A lot of gifts and souviniers. As we explored Jonker Street, it started raining. We could not go anywhere as it continued raining for the whole day. We then walked to a WanTan Mee stall over at Jalan Tun Tan Cheong Lok which was recommended by The Star Newspaper's Street Food guide. It wasn't that good actually. We then headed to the Baba & Nyonya Heritage Museum. We could not get pictures in there cause it wasn't allow. It was kinda interesting to learn about it.

It rained....

The rain then got heavier and we had to walk to the car and proceed to someplace else. We wanted to go to the Red Church and AFamosa but the rain wouldn't let us. We drove around and we spotted this tower that looks like the space shot in Genting but it was for sightseeing. 

Not take by me, But it's damn nice. By a flickr uploader name p o l i n i.

So up we went cause it was raining and this looked kinda fun when it's raining. It went high up and started spining round. We can see the straits of Melaka and also Melaka town. I had a headache when i came down from it. Guessed the spinning made me nauseous. 

Us in Menara Taming Sari.

I will talk about the second part later. It's getting late and i'm sleepy.

P/S: Manchester United Won 2 - 0 against Inter Milan on Wednesday night. Looking foward to the big game this weekend. Liverpool - Manchester United. Will be there cheering for my team. Glory Glory!

Until then!
