Journey To The South

[Note: I regret to inform you readers that there are NO photos taken during this trip. Well... Maybe 1-2. Mum took the camera!! ;(]

Here's how it went.

I was away from 27th-29th of March to Malacca with Mei Ling. This trip is just to have a time out off our work and enjoy what we deserve - a break =)

**********************************************************************************
Day 1
We went for breakfast in Yut Kee and started our journey to Malacca around 11.30am.

She insisted that I needed 2 hours to reach our destination. So, I was very determined to prove her that I can clock a shorter time than that.

Ok laaa... She tried to put me off by stopping by at rest areas, bla bla bla... But it only took me 1 hour and 15 minutes to reach. Anddddd... I wasn't speeding ok. 160km/h only what. LOL~!

Once we reached, we head on to Aldy Hotel, where we're staying, which is located 5 minutes walk from Jonker and just directly opposite St. Paul Church =) It's not particularly a huge 4-5 star hotel... But just enough for us to clean ourselves up and rest, hahaha.

Thanks to Josephine, we managed to get a voucher of 3Days 2Nights stay in a superior room for only RM200 =) However, the room wasn't particularly ready when we arrived. So, we took a hike in the Jonker at 1pm! It's like freaking hot weyyy!

Anyways, we had the ever famous chicken rice ball located opposite San Shu Gong (tak tau the spelling laaa). After that we walked along Jonker and I bought myself 2 tops from Jonker Gallery.

Since the weather wasn't too pleasant, we went to Dataran Pahlawan Mall to get air-conned ;p Ahhh... It's just so messy inside the mall. It's not particularly that huge but it's freaking longggg~ Just to go the the loo, you gotta make your way... All the way to the end of the mall just to take a leak! And they all ran outta soap, mind you. Zzzzz...

We didn't really walked much in the mall, due to fatigue. So, it was around 3.30pm that we decided to get ourselves checked in.

Once we got our room, we had our own a cool + warm shower as a therapy to the freaking + scorching + bloody HOT weather outside~! We took a short nap prior to dinner.

Mei Wei came to pick us up for a dinner outing with her family. I seriously wasn't ready for the dinner at all. It was a last minute plan before we came down to Malacca. But the dinner turned out to be fun. Mei Wei's sisters were talkative, creating a cheerful and lively dinner =) Thank you so much ;)

After dinner, we went to Jonker once more to get the food digested. Nothing much to talk about, wahahaha~

That doesn't end here. We then went to Capitol to have satay celup. YES, we EAT AGAIN. What is Malacca trip without tasting their local food eh =)

By the time we reached our hotel, it was about 12am and it was time to clean up and go to bed.

There goes day 1 =)

**********************************************************************************

Day 2
Today, we set our mind on shopping, movie, eating and... MORE eating =D

Hey, it was really fun driving around town, searching for the best food around.

I brought Mei Ling to a kopitiam that is quite famous for its duck noodles. I always have my breakfast there whenever I'm in Malacca. It's located somewhere along the coastal road, just follow Tengkera and Tanjung Bidara direction, should be laaa. I'm not a Malaccan laaa. I only follow my instinct when I drove around ;)

This time, I find the food there so-so only.

Not being satisfied, I decided to launch my ultimate secret food weapon - satay babi. Just follow the Jalan Laksamana road that leads to Eye On Malaysia. There, you'll pass by a restaurant (I think it's the only restaurant around), that has 3-4 people outside, barbecuing some satays. And it's made outta pork. So, it's a non-halal food readers =)
If you'll like to make some advance order(s), here's the number: 06-2817281

After doing justice to the food, we land ourselves in Dataran Pahlawan Mall for some shopping and movie =)

1. We bought some clothing from DC Super Heroes store. I got myself Tw0-Faced tee and Mei Ling got herself a Batman tee.
2. Passed by a Korean boutique. Mei Ling got herself a cute dress that looks like a farm girl, LOL. But it's nice =)
3. Got another top from Bossini. Good offer okay ;p
   
4. Went into Brands Outlet. Again, I whacked 3 tops, whilst she got herself 1.
5. Bought movie tickets for Race To Witch Mountain. The movie was okay, lots of actions

After the movie, we went back to the hotel to get a short nap before heading for dinner.

This time, we went to Alai, a seafood village that is located along the coastal road to Muar. We ordered 5 different types of seafood - cencaru, sotong, kembung, pari and prawns; along with 5 packets of nasi lemak and 3 glasses of drinks. The total was RM32.40 but they only charged us RM30. Freaking cheap, right??? Kekeke. I would go there once more for their seafood, freshly served ;)

We dropped by at Jonker again for a bucket of cold Carlsberg at Geographer to end the night =)

**********************************************************************************

Day 3
Funny thing. Regardless how tired I was during the 3 days trip, I couldn't sleep later than 10am. I'd probably be awake by 9am. Then I started to disturb Mei Ling, hahaha.

Okay, I know I've said the word "Jonker" very often and YES, we went there AGAIN and AGAIN for breakfast, LOL. Deyyy... Can't blame us. Jonker is just next door to the hotel and it's the easiest way for us to fill ourselves up =)

Then, we went to pack some satay babi home.

Nothing much except eating and leaving Malacca =) Oh yea, we did stopped in Seremban to pack some "siew pao" home too.

And that's all for day 3.

Told ya there isn't much photos, hahaha. Next time, perhaps. Sorry peeps =)
