Historical state of Malacca ..

Can't remember when was the last time I went to Malacca, maybe 2 - 3 years ago, with some church friends for a day trip during Merdeka holiday. This time round, went to Malacca with YZ.

Never really look at these old buildings before, but it amazed me this time because I get to go into one of these house, and wow, I kinda like the design.

There is no place to park your car infront of the house, but maybe when they build these houses, they don't have Proton Waja yet. I would imagine it's still a walking street with people either walking or cycling during the time these buildings were build.

Behind this building is where the wet market is located, and this is where we had our breakfast - YZ favorite Hokkien Mee & Chicken rice ball ..

The Hokkien mee stall is just beside the wet market, you can still see 'short' little tables and chairs where people sit with their knees bended to the height of their chest. The Hokkien mee comes with slices of pork, and all you need is ...

Pour in the chili sauce which is kept in a glass bottle - Shared among many tables, you basically have to walk over to the table of where the botol last located, and ask they people sitting in that table permission to take the botol. After use, just leave it, others who wants the chili sauce will come and ask from you.

After you mix the sauce, it tasted like Prawn Mee - the dry version ..

Of coz, since we are at Malacca, and time is a challenge, we had Chicken rice balls after our Hokkien Mee ...

After our wonderful breakfast, we went to Jonker Street for a walk ...

This is me ( Super boy ) in one of the historical building .. this is the first floor. If they build something like this in Damansara or Shah Alam, I may wanna get 1, because of it's build up - it's long, it's huge, it's spacious, it's cooling even the temperature is killing outside, and there's even an airwell in the middle of the house with natural sunlight coming through ... I just love the design.

A view of the riverside, before we go for Satay Malacca ...

Yum yum .. no need to say more ...

Don't you just want to have some now ? You can choose from Chicken satay or Pork satay, very nice ...

YZ and I took a picture at the orang utan house in Malacca ..

After a long hot day walking around Jonker Street, we sat down at a nearby cendol shop for the ever wonderful cendol with 'Gula Melaka' ...

YZ took this Cendol Durian ... yeah ... Durian cendol, can you believe it !

Already missing Malacca ... just after 2 weeks ... Just can't wait to go back to Malacca with YZ again ...
