So, like I said, I went Melaka yesterday. It was supposed to be a 2 days, 1 night trip but since we've finish walking around Melaka and because of the massive jam, we decided to leave on the same day.
There was jam- every crook and corner of Melaka from the time we arrived at 2 p.m. till after we left at 9 p.m.. My dad's car water temperature increased till almost 120 degree Celcius so we parked aside, had some cendol and decided to walk around Melaka. The cendol wasn't very delicious. In fact, I would say it's not even close to tasty. And heck, it definately did not worth RM 3!
So we walked to the famous Christ Church, then to the A'Famosa area but it was so hot I melted, evaporated, condensed and melted all over again.
Since it was so hot, we went to a food court with lots of stalls and a very nice environment. We ordered fried oyster and fried kueh teow. I don't know about the fried kueh teow (since I didn't eat it) but the fried oster was delici~ous!!
After spending an hour plus there, my kayah wanted to go for this new ride in Melaka. It's Menara Taming Sari. It's very much like Selero Shots in Genting Highlands only thing that it's slow, it spins and it's expensive. The purpose of this tower is for tourists to have a full view of Melaka from high above. There were many people lining up, waiting for their turns so, we thought the price is reasonable. We then found out that it's RM 20 for adults for a mere 7 minutes!
My kayah, the prankster. He tried to lit the canon to see if there's canonball in it.
Then, we continued walking and visited the new destructed fort they discovered. They're in the process on recontructing the fort but only on the space available. In my opinion, they should continue digging until they discoverr the whole fort instead of just build one on the space available. If they just build what they could on the available space, the fort they built is not what they used to have during the Portuguese era but something new.
At about 6 p.m., we walked to the Jonker street. It's a place like China Town in KL but to me, it's much better. They do not call out for customers or pull them or anything. Instead, they have variety of goods from food to clothes to accessories to shoes. There's even a stage where middle-age women sing.
Before we went back home, we went to this restaurant called A'Famosa to have our chicken rice ball dinner. It was something special and well, it's cute.
It was a tiring trip considering the fact that we walked all day but it was the type of trip I like.
