Day Trip Malacca Trip 12/12/2008

Day Trip Malacca Trip 12/12/2008

We departed from my home at about 8:30 am to Malacca on 12/12/2008 to visit Eric Yee (whom I also known from Melbourne University). We arrived in Malacca about 10:00 am and had our early lunch about 11:30 am.

We had lunch in one of the Nyonya restaurant known as Nyonya Mak near the Dewan Pahlawan. Here are some photos of the food served in that particular restaurant:

1. Omelette with small shrimps

4. Lady fingers with chilli, really spicy and pungent.

After having a hearty meal, we then proceed to the Portugal buildings in Malacca. Also, I can't remember what's it called but it was recently declared as a world heritage area. That is probably why Malacca is a lot cleaner and modernized since the last time I was here.

Here are some photos of the entire ordeal:

3. Me and the fountain (which I called the pissing fountain, since the pillar looks like you know)

Thereafter, we visited Jonker street where it is a small street with lotsa stalls and food around. We walked non stop for that day. Also, we ate non stop as well hahahah. Here are some photos of that:

1. Weird statue at the start of Jonker street

We headed back to Kuala Lumpur immediately after that. The entire journey took about almost 2 hours. By the time we reached Kuala Lumpur, we were hungry yet again. This time we had our dinner in the Original Kayu restaurant in Chow Yang. Here are some photos of the food we ate:

1. The infamous Roti Tissue from Kayu (really fattening haha)

2. Me and Damon at the Curve.

We arrived home about 11:00 pm if not mistaken, a day well spent in enjoying life to its fullest. Non stop eating, walking and taking photos. My new digital camera has definitely served me well this time.

Me and Damon will be heading off to Jakarta on 13/12/2008 and Soenaryo will pick us up from the airport.
