Trip to Melaka/ Kuala Lumpur

14/3/2009
Drive up to Melaka, to avoid heavy traffic, we started our journey at 5.30am.
Due to the school holidays, we still caught abit jammed and only passed the immigration custom of Malaysia around 7+am.

Next, we go for our Homemade Nyonya Kueh.

252 Jln Tengkera Pantai 2C ( Charlie +60196662907/ +602847209) (Turn left into small lane, opp white mosque) It definitely not easy to find without proper direction.

It was known that most masar malam bring in the kueh supply from here. Pretty cheap comparing from us, per pcs $0.60RM. We bought about 12pcs, not nice!!! Waste of time, hard and not tasty. Should have know, not to trust pasar malam delicacies.
Jonker's walk (Jln Hang Jebat)

Along the street, there are shops selling wood crafts, souvenirs, clothings and cafes etc....

During Fri, Sat & Sun, evening time the street will be closed for night markets and no cars are allowed.

The famous Melaka Chicken rice

Very tasty

Jonker's walk
(in the middle of Jonker's Street)

The famous Chendol

Jonkers 88 ( The museum Cafe)

Their signaure dish, Nonya laksa, asam laksa, chendol etc...

One of their signature dish

Asam Laksa

CS tried it and she likes it, slight different with those in Penang

And this is heavenly! Must Try!

Chendol $1.70RM

Around 1.20pm, we proceed to our lunch.

Peranankan Restoran

107 Jln Tun Tan Cheng Lock Tel: 06-2845001

Asam Fish

Fried sambal sotongs

Ayam Pontei

Itek Tim

This only 2nd and 3rd part of the house, the depth of the peranankan house in Melaka is extremely long. About 3-5times longer than those in Singapore. Standing outside of the house, you cannot imagine how in depth it could be.

This is the first time coming to this restaurant, price is not ex, approx. $8-9 RM per dish.

Ambience is nice, can consider a better class restaurant.

Food is totally out but if you want to check out more info about nyonya, you may want to drop in. There is a Nyonya gallery with some photos, furnitures, history etc...

This restuarant was highly rated online, nyonya kueh is also found online. Lesson learnt, online is not always reliable...

Another Must Try in Melaka, Putu Piring. Located @ 252 Jln Tengkera (next to Toto shop). Open only after 7pm, is a family business, so the stall is just outside their house. I had tried once, very good. Best of the best I ever tried.

After lunch, we proceed to our next destination, Kuala Lumpur.

I had booked 2 rooms in Dorsett Regency but their systems have only 1 record. During their checkings, they offered us free fruit punch while we sat in their lounge. As the hotel is almost packed and finally, they managed to get another room for us. A free upgrade to suite for both room. Usual: $800RM++ per night

The initial superior room we booked was $135RM++ (promotion price)

There are writing desk, 32" plasma TV, living hall with sofas, 25" TV etc....

Interior is pretty nice, overall is a good hotel (4*) to stay in with the price. Value for money.

Bak Kut Teh in Jln Imbi

Very popular here but i don''t really fancy that much.

Very strong herb taste

Claypot liver

I thought it suppose to be fried liver but it came out to be liver soup

See, how old the building is

After dinner, we walk and hopped in to this new shopping mall, Pavillion.

Very big and CS and me are very impressed. Much better than any of the current shopping malls in Singapore. Some brands Singapore don't even carry in.

Their luxuries shop are so stylo, most of them are loft designs.

Near 10pm, most shop are closing and we are caught in a rain.

CS suggested to come into this spanish bar and have a drink.

La Bodega

We ordered 2 bailey's $20RM++ each

And I had to finish hers for her

Rain stopped, and we follow our schedule to Chinatown.

Petaling Street (茨厂街)

Unfortunately, most of the stalls were almost closed. we walked one round and headed back.

Alot of taxi parking around the vincinity and touting for customers. A trip back to Bukit Bintang may only cost $3-4RM, they will charge a fixed rate from $10-20RM.

As we are not in hurry, we flagged a few cabs till those who willingly to switch on their meters then hopped on.

On the way, we decided to alight in Jalan Alor and buy some supper back to hotel.

We went to Wong Ah Hua (the end of Jln Alor)for their grilled chicken wings, very popular here. $2.10RM per pcs.

And after take a stroll back to our hotel, approx. 7-8mins
