Melaka Trip @ 31/10/2009 - 01/11/2009 - Day 1

Melaka, one of the famous historical place in Malaysia. Long time ago, people used to visit Melaka for sightseeing, photographing, but now, I guess most of the people went there for food hunting lol. How about me? For sure were both :D

1st thing I reached Melaka, what did I do? Of course checked-in the hotel, put down the stuff, and rushed to one of the famous Hainanese chicken rice balls restaurant - Hoe Kee Chicken Rice Shop @ Jonker Street.

After the delicious lunch, we just simply hang along the Jonker Street and saw this funny stuff, were they candle holder?

We then walked to the back of the Jonker Street, near the river side for photographing, ei..who's that?

Yes bingo, it finally rained. We left no choice but rushed to one of the cendol shop to have durian cendol. My answer is, it sux. Can't remember the name of the shop but it was the 1st corner shop once you step in Jonker Street.

When I was about to finish the cendol, I saw this dragonfly standing steadily on the leaf. Maybe it knew I was photographing it, anyway tx bro ^^

After playing with the dragonfly, the rain has finally stopped. We then walked to the clock tower and had some shots.

Dinner time has come, we decided to aim for satay celup. Before coming to Melaka, I've already done some study of the restautants/food we should target. As for satay celup, we went to this Capitol Satay Celup.

IMG_7760
Not to mention this was one of the famous satay celup restaurant too, and guess what? We've been queued for 1 hour++ to get a table zzz. Luckily the food didn't turn me down lol. Oh ya, this was my 1st attempt of satay celup too...yummyyyyy...

IMG_7761
So much for you to choose, what's your choice?

IMG_7770
TVB celebrities also been here before, don't play play!

IMG_7773
One of the only thing I hate about this restaurant was the space, I guessed the restaurant had only 10 tables = ="

IMG_7776
After the lovely dinner, instead of hunting food at Jonker Street, we hunted night scene to shoot lol

IMG_7781
I also planned for going to this colourful musical fountain at Jalan Kee Ann. But found out it just the colourful water dancing with the Malay music lol.

IMG_7786
The whole night was drizzling, damn frustrated, wanna took a photo also troublesome.

IMG_7790
We then walked to the other side of road and turned in to Melaka river.

IMG_7805
Joleen played with mini Eye On Malaysia wheel lol..

Lonely Joleen @ the empty street.

IMG_7846
We've been exercise walking from hotel to Capitol Satay Celup, then walked to Musical fountain, mini Eye on Malaysia, Melaka River, and A Famosa lol. By the time we reached A famosa, Jonker Street already closed. What it left is a quiet A Famosa. Another tiring night has gone =)
