Where...

... was I on Labour's Day vacation? Can u guess? Let me give u a hint:

A trishaw...

Yup! That's right! It's Malacca!!! or in Malay, Melaka!!! I went there in a 1 day trip with 15 other relatives...

The Melaka river...

Presenting to u the Stadthuys! It's a must for every tourists to visit this place. It's painted on red and can be easily spotted at the left of the main road when we enter Melaka town.

Stadthuys...

It's not a trip to Melaka if we didn't try its famous food chicken rice balls, right? Due to public holiday, many people were also there queuing up to get a taste of the delicacy...

It's just typical chicken rice with the rice rolled into a sphere shape.

Luckily we booked 2 tables prior our visit, or else we will be lining up like other people did. Another shop was also full house:

We must also try Melaka's cendol isn't it?
Since Melaka is famous for its Gula Melaka, some of the melted Gula Melaka will be poured on the cendol and ABC sold there.

Coca-cola can made cap!

We planned to have satay celup as dinner but when we reached there at 5pm (the shop also open at 5pm), the queue was rdiculously long!!!
We have no choice but to eat somewhere else...



The traffic of Melaka was horrendous! Traffic was so congested, I personally feel tat KL's traffic is better than Melaka's. Imagine stuck in traffic jam in a hot 'oven' even with the air-con in full blast!

However, the jam enabled me to snap some great pics of the Menara Taming Sari, a rotating view tower which has 360 degree panoramic view of the Melaka town!

Looks like a UFO!

I will never go to Melaka again in a public holiday! I literary spent 3 hours in the traffic jams in my 1 day trip to Melaka... So horrible!
Due to the bad traffic, I ended up going back home at night while my other relatives decided to spend a night staying nearby Jonker Street...
