A Short Trip on Merdeka Day

This is a back-dated post.

On Merdeka day, hubby's cousin brother suggested let's have a 1 day trip to Malacca. Since, MX has not been to Malacca, so we agreed to join them.

We started our journey at 8am and ½ way stop at the highway rest house to have our breakfast. Then, continue again our journey to Malacca. We exited at the Ayeh Keroh toll and it was about 11.15am. Then headed to Malacca Tourism Center to get the Malacca's attraction places info.

Firstly, we visited the mini farm and zoo. (Actually, not much things/animals to see). We spent about 1hour there, then we headed to Malacca town to have Hainanese Chicken Ball Rice for our lunch. When we reached there, we saw a lot of people "Q" for waiting seated. Thanks god! We had our seat within 15mins.

After our lunch, we went shopping at Jonker Street (also known as Jalan Hang Jebat) and Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock. That a lot of people and the weather very hot too, so, we didn't spent too much time here. Then, we headed to A Famosa , Maritime Museum, Stadthuys, Portuguese Square and Mahkota Parade.

Is about dinner time, we wanted something special for our dinner, so we went to look for 'Satay Celup', Satay Celup is similar to a Hong Kong dish called 'Lok Lok' that is eaten with a special sauce similar to conventional satay sauce. We had ate 82sticks for 4 adults and 1 toddle.

We went to Jonker Street again, because at night the place transform into night market. And the street shuts its doors to traffic at 7pm right up until 12am, midnight. I did not buy anything due to a lot of people and so crowded.

We reached home about 11.30pm and MX got so tired and slept all the way from Malacca to home.
