Right like what I mentioned in the previous post, this post will be about the trip to Malacca I had with Angie and Zanne.
Our bus was scheduled to leave at 10am. So I woke up at 7am that morning to get ready and then took the LRT to Puduraya. The journey was about 2 hours and by the time we got there I was so hungry.
Angie called her uncle who lives there to come pick us up and he brought us to this ancient little Chinese restaurant that sells the BEST ever "char siew fan", I still daydream about it now.
Omggg I really want it againnnnn! =(
Anyway, from there we adjourned to the hotel which we’re gonna stay in - Equatorial Hotel. I know, it is pricey. But nonetheless, very comfortable.
The view from our room balcony, you can see the Straits of Malacca
Baby Panda came along too! =D
We stayed a couple of hours in the room to settle down and clean ourselves before walking over to some of the shopping complexes nearby. Bought 2 pairs of earrings from there.
Then at around 6.30pm, Angie’s cousins picked us up and brought us to try the satay celup.
That’s where everyone dips the sticks in. A little disgusting when you think of it, but ah well, it’s just to try. =)
We were pretty stuffed after that and continued walking round the shopping centers. At about 9 ish pm we went to this open air food court called Newton and ate a bunch of stuff.
Fried oyster with starch and egg
Ikan bakar!
Er…I think it’s old cucumber soup
We were once stuffed again and dragged ourselves back to the hotel. Lights out!

It was a very windy morning and our hairs were all over the place. Lol. Anyway, after sightseeing we walked over to a restaurant selling chicken rice balls.
I ate 10 rice balls and was again, stuffed. Lol. I know it’s unhealty. But hey, we’re on holiday!
With lunch over, we walked across the road to the Stathuys and paid RM5 to enter the museums there.
After the museum we walked a distance to the "Eye on Malacca" some sort of er…miniature of Eye on Malaysia. It’s nothing much really, just a revolving tower where we have to pay to go in and sit for 7 minutes while it keeps revolving.
The view
We were pretty hot and tired after all that so we walked all the way back to our hotel to shower and get changed to go out again.
It was tea time and we went into this little shop called Cafe 1511. It was featured on the food programme Jalan-jalan Cari Makan so I figured it must be pretty good.
Pai Tee
Nyonya spring roll
Otak-otak
Ah, we were half stuffed. The other half reserved for the food from Jonker Walk.
Laksa
Cendol and ais kacang
Angie and I blowing bubbles! =P
Bubbles on the floor
The next morning - our last morning in Malacca was pretty gloomy. It rained all morning, we couldn’t go out to eat. So we had to stay and eat the er…overpriced food at the hotel.
Check-out time was 12 noon so we hung around the hotel as we didn’t really have much time left. We camwhored a bit more to burn time.
That’s it for our trip. I think all of us enjoyed it thoroughly. Can’t wait for our next semester break for yet another trip. =D
P.S. I think we’ll be going to the beaches at Kuantan, Pahang. =P
