Me, Sarah and Daniel dancing Jaiho while waiting for Jun Mei..

At night, Jun Mei brought us to Jonker Walk again! This time, we went to try the best Nyonya la            ksa in town. Jonker at night is really different coz’ they have all the small stalls set up and there are loads of people there too. We had fun walking and looking at the things they sell while on the way to Nyonya laksa.

And behold… The yummylicious Nyonya laksa!!!

Yum!!! Love the laksa so much!

We all love the Nyonya laksa. My first time eating it and I love it! It’s very different from our Sarawak laksa so, I couldn’t say which is better. I was told that there is no curry powder at all in the Nyonya laksa soup. Wonder how they made this awesome food…

Beautiful laksa and ice-kacang!

We also had ice-kacang! I think the best part about it was having durian in it. Love the durian flavour. Yummm… But, my favourite part of ice-kacang is the green jelly! Hehe…

Yum.. We ordered a few flavours like durian, chendol, ABC and some more interesting ones…

After dinner, we went walking again. Walk, walk and walk. I bought a silver chain for myself since mine broke about 2 months ago. I bought it for just RM15 after discount. Hehe… Besides, we also enjoyed the toys they had at the small stalls. The other 4 got electric shocked after playing with the made-in-China toys. I didn’t coz I ‘kena’ before by Janice so, I learned my lesson. Lol~

Walking Jonker Walk

After walking for a while, we decided to rush to the boat ride. We had to walk all the way back to the car. So tiring! We were really hoping to for the boat ride but, unfortunately, it was closed already. So, sadly, we went to eat supper.

Supper was really good! We had burger ‘maut’. It was really good. Although it was just an ordinary Ramly burger, they really made it so delicious that I thought the chicken burger was really chicken! Yummm…

Yummylicious burger ‘maut’!

And that’s all for Day 2. There’s one more post for Day 3 so, stay tune!

Go Malacca Day 2

The very next morning, we went to eat pork soup and yam rice! It might sound ordinary but, it’s really, superbly delicious! This shop is quite famous I heard. Even Astro’s Ah Xian also came to this shop.

The friendly boss preparing our breakfast…

After breakfast, we went to walk along Jonker Street. The weather was super hot but, it was fun walking and stopping by the shops to buy things. The whole afternoon was all about Jonker and shopping. Not much eating yet. Btw, we also visited the oldest temple in Malacca. But some say in the whole West Malaysia or probably Malaysia.

We went to this shop which sells handmade shoes. I guess this is quite a famous shop coz even Director Lee Ang visited this shop. Interesting…

Cool…

Star Wars anyone? Haha…

After all the shopping, we started to chant the shopaholic’s motto: My will is strong, my wallet is closed, I don’t want to shop! Haha… Guess what? It really worked! At least on Sarah…

          We even tried to ignore the ‘2nd piece RM1’ promotion!

We wanted to visit some Baba Nyonya house so, we continued to walk around until we reach the 8 Heeren Street. We stopped by a model conservation project by Badan Warisan Malaysia. It’s an old Dutch-influenced house which BWM conserved as an exhibition to the public. Seeing this very interesting, we all decided to go in. There’s this old man working there. He explained every single detail about the style of the Dutch houses. It was really a good experience knowing a little bit about the architecture of the house.

A short talk about the house =)

After that, we went to somewhere familiar. It was the house Little Nyonya was filmed! We wanted to go in to see but, it was a private museum and we have to pay RM8 per person just to go in. And no photography too! Well, we still went for it coz’ it’s an experience we all want to have.

Baba Nyonya house!

DSC05738

It seems like I was over-excited!

The Baba Nyonya house is super grand! It’s definitely a rich family living there last time. Btw, I only spotted 3 parts of the house that were filmed; the front part of the house, front room in the 1st episode and the ancestral room where Ju Xiang was beaten by the grandmother. And the rest was maybe filmed on set or at other houses.

After the tour around the Baba Nyonya house, we sat down to have some snacks. Jun Mei ordered ‘pai tee’!!! I’ve seen it before on TV but I didn’t know it tasted so good! We also had some nyonya kueh. Later, we walked to eat some popiah and rojak. Then, we went back to shower and rest before starting the night activities!

Lovely ‘pai tee’!

Go Malacca Day 1

Since it was a day off on Friday because it was KTT’s Family Day, we got to leave early. There were 5 of us; Daniel, Chai Lian, Sarah, Jun Mei and me! Jun Mei was our tour guide. And the 4 of us, the Sarawakian tourists! Lol~

We took the KTM from Nilai to Seremban. When arrived, we walked to Terminal 1 where we managed to grab the last few tickets for the earliest bus at 10.30am. The whole journey took us about 1 1/2 hour. It was quite a short trip compared to the trips I made to Bintulu, Sibu, Sarikei and what more to say Kuching!

In Kei Shing’s car

When arrived, Kei Shing came to fetch us to Dream Box, Dataran Pahlawan Mall for some karaoke session. It was my first time going out for karaoke and it was really fun. We sang loads of songs. From English to Chinese and Malay. Yes, I manage to sing Chinese songs without pinyin. Thanks to Kei Shing who mumbled the lyrics to me when I was trying to sing the songs. After almost 3 hours of singing, we stayed for a while to sing some random songs even though we couldn’t play the songs. We even tried beat box!

DSC04009

Me love singing!

DSC04015

Sing sing sing…

DSC04022

Singing again…

After having enough fun singing, we left the place. We went to Dataran Pahlawan to snap some nice pictures. I love the grass there although it might not be as clean as it seems. We also went to A Famosa but, didn’t go up the hill.

After visiting the place, Kei Shing drove us to the Portuguese ‘kampung’. I remember the taxi driver drove my family and I to that exact same area 8 years ago which means when I was 10. Nostalgia… Btw, we stopped by and took some sea view pictures. I miss the sea so much coz’ it reminds me of home.

Cannon again!

I love this pic! =)

At night, we went to eat satay celup for dinner. I love satay celup so much!!! Good food to eat with family and friends but, not for romantic candlelight dinner la. Lol~ Chai Lian and Sarah took so many sticks especially the mushrooms sticks that we couldn’t finish all of them. My favourite satay celup is the ‘you cha kueh’ (that’s what I call but, I don’t know the actual name..) coz’ it taste really nice!

DSC04097

Satay celup!!!!

Yummmm…. Camel!

I want satay celup again!

Eat eat eat…

After dinner, we went to a cafe bar to have some drinks. I ordered Rum Punch which tasted just like a tropical orange juice. Haha~ Chai Lian and Sarah ordered something that tasted like milo but it was baileys. Sorry… My first time drinking cocktails. =) We wanted to listen to this guy who sings in the cafe but he wasn’t there. So, Jun Mei was kind of disappointed. After the drinks, we went supper again. I had chee cheong fun which was quite nice. Then, we went back to sleep!
