Getaway to Malacca~

Last weekend,we had a getaway from da City to Malacca a.k.a da Historial State. If I'm not mistaken da first and last round I went there was during my Form 6 time with Winter & come to think of it,it's almost like 4-5 years back,gosh! I dont recall much about Malacca as the only thing I remembered was eating Yong Tau Foo, going to a hotel for a tea time break(sounds cool uh?), rushing back to KL middle of da night cos there were no more bus ticket left!Hehe, little do I know about Malacca.

So this time we decided to go there for jalan jalan cari makan and sight seeing Malacca. I always wonder how come my chimui like Malacca so much till when she reach her retirement age, she hopes to settle down there.

Before reaching Malacca, da things tat worries me da most was da hotel. Well, self admit tat budget hotels in Malaysia always give me a creepy feeling especially stories frm my friends about da lights go on & off, da scary hallway and etc. I was lucky enough to ask my ex-colleague for recommendations as we doesnt wanna spend too much for a hotel and he introduce us Fenix Inn. Da hotel was actually a connecting three 3-storey shoplots and it was a surprisingly a decent,clean and good accommodation. For da location wise,it's pretty good as it's near to everywhere that we wanna go(Malacca aint tat big u know?)and for da money, I personally think it's worth it. What I reallie like about da hotel is everything seems new & clean. What I heard from my colleague is this hotel has been there for a while and most of da time it's fully booked! This aint a myth cos I actually called up to ask for room availability a week in advanced, da receptionist told me they oni had 2 rooms left for reservation, gasp! So we were lucky enough to stayed in here. Thumbs up!

Malacca is reallie a historical state where museums are all around you, the baba & nyonya culture is still instilled there, people are extremely good and food is super delicious. Here I took a snap of our lunch but due to da limitation of uploading pics here so I decided to upload da famous amous 'Cendol'. It's a best of a best cendorl I ever tasted in my life so far. I never reallie liked cendol in KL as it's usually covered with syrup and a lot a lot of ice,doesnt seem facinating to me but in Malacca, it's a must to try!

We were lucky to have found a old lady stall just outside da Hokkien Association at the Jonkers' Walk where they serve traditional 'Lui Chou Coffee' and da butter & kaya bread. You might be thinking what's so great about coffee and bread since we got Old Town, Uncle Lim and etc but this specialty is they use charcoal to boil da water for da coffee and using charcoal to burn da bread!(*hehe,I wonder da word 'burn' is da correct one,since we always say toast bread instead of burn bread,anyway who cares). It's very rare to find people cooking with charcoal, only older people in those days would and da first sip of da coffee and first bite of da bread brought me back to my younger days when I had breakfast with my parents.Awww~~

Anyway too lengthy about Malacca, I honestly do enjoy myself there with da people & lifestyle there and hope to go there again some time =) We had a great time venturing around.
