Malacca

My adventurous family decided to go on a trip to Malacca. We rented a vehicle and drove towards Malacca. The whole journey took about 3-4 hours. We also made a pit-stop at Muar to hunt for the infamous Muar otah otah. This is my first visit to Malacca and I enjoyed it throughly, sans the mild haze on the first 2 days from Sumatra.

Malacca is a shopaholics paradise. We stayed at Hatten Hotel - it has a prime location. Very centralized. It has undergorund links to 3 major shopping malls with many surrounding eateries and common amenities.

On the first night, we visited Ann's Kitchen. It is a local penarakan restaurant that serves delectable and authentic Penerakan cuisine! The head chef - Mdm Ann was even invited to NY to cook at a United Nations event!

On the 2nd night, we visited the infamous Jonker street. It has a traditional 1960s vibe. Retro music permeates the whole environment. A leisurely stroll along the streets leads to interesting sights of street food, trinkets and local produce.

We spent the third day crusing along the sea, visiting historical sights and enjoying excellent street food. It was a wonderful trip!
