happened about a month ago!
haven't been blogging lately due to the short day time brought about by insomnia T_T kinda miss blogging so i think this trip could make a good entry.
so the boy took a day off and we drove to Melaka for a 2D1N short trip. :D
Melaka makes a good getaway destination as it is not too far away and it is just different from JB!
ya officially turned 26 T_____________T
this was the salted caramel cake from Cedele. but to be frank I still preferred red velvet over this one. : /
spotted this gigantic overhead bridge (and Mister Potato) around Melaka city. super complicated-looking!
I guess i might get lost walking in it. -_-
first meal was none other but the chicken rice ball
not that i fancy this kind of sticky mashy rice ball but you just have to eat it when you are in Melaka lol
had the chicken rice at this shop which is well-known among the locals
pretty good and reasonably priced! you wouldn't believe the rice+chicken+drink shown above was only RM9.50 :O
useful note for first-timer like us
stop going to the one at Jonker Walk but this one instead!
the rojak look-alike was brought from this little stall.
initially we thought it was rojak so we ordered one. later only did we find out it was not the usual penang style rojak but some fried stuff mixed with prawn paste.
we called it rojak melaka style lol.
after lunch we went straight to Holiday Inn where we would be staying for the night.
lobby
at RM200/night i would say it was a really good deal!
except where there was no free wifi in the room -_-
view from 11th floor
after some rest we walked from the hotel all the way to Jonker Walk!
the weather was good and we saw many things that we didn't even know they exist!
something like this:
and this:
AND THIS
so beautiful!
those cafes along the river have been added to my visit-list for next trip!
met this talented artists who can draw really really well!
the boy and i kept wowing and whoaing non-stop looking at all the drawings
many cases have shown that artists made a fortune only after they passed away -_- so we bought a postcard set in hope to show some supports for them! :)
whoa when did they build this gigantic boat here??
but what shock me more was this:
it was done!!!!
with dedicated cark park facility! such a plus point.
subsequently we spent about 1 hour at Jonker Walk doing what other tourists did. =_=
but i really love pasar malam! it was such a good place to explore something interesting or value-for-money!
apparently Mister Potato has gained significant market share of potato chips in Melaka loll
Saw this for the first time although i had been to Jonker Walk for a few times!!
amazed by all those clusters of houses
loots from Jonker Walk!
everything was at 50% off and you wouldn't believe each of them was less than RM30 EACH. Two of the skorts were as good as Korean apparel i swear!!!!!!
:O :O :O
Finally dinner time!
Had hard time deciding the dinner place as we didn't want to spend a lot but still ended up in the expensive Hard Rock Cafe =_=
It was my birthday so we thought this special day deserved something good! :D
the interior.
foods were really good!
AND. SO. HUGE. D:
they occupied ALL the stomach space so there was no more room for desserts :(
foods were BBQ chicken (RM32) and chicken fajita (RM40).
the boy and i were not fans of alcoholic drinks but he said we should at least have some beers because we were at Hard Rock Cafe lolol
that was how we ended up with this RM28 Corona. =_=
i reckon hoegaarden tastes way better!
stepped out of the cafe and saw this illuminating lights
so pretty!
after dinner we returned to the hotel on foot via another route, which was what we usually did as traveller to explore more of the city.
wanted to get a pint of this Salted Caramel from the hypermarket for supper but it was nowhere in sight. :(( finally spotted it in Haagen Dazs cafe but it was more expensive than usual so in the end we settled for 1 scoop instead to try out before investing on the 30 bucks pint!
in conclusion it was more on the sweet side but still good!
the next morning we had dim sum for breakfast.
not that fantastic so nothing much for further elaboration.
how they serve: pick what you want from the tray they brought to your table.
after breakfast time were spent at the infinity pool! did not bring my camera or handphone down so no picture of it. i couldn't swim so what i did was basically just soaking myself in water and chillaxing. =_=
and best part?
GOT FREAKING TAN LINE AFTER JUST 45MINS IN THE SWIMMING POOL.
D: D: D:
totally forgotten about sunscreen. served me right. T_T
before heading back to JB we had our last lunch in Melaka.
Japanese food desu!
first visit there but by judging the reno it shouldn't be too bad right lolol.
shake mentai aburi yaki - RM3.50/each
shake sushi - RM2.50/each
chashu ramen - RM19.00
tonjiru (miso soup with sliced pork belly and vegetables) - RM10
eringi butter yaki - RM12
good judgement because the foods were good and super speedy service!! we wanted to change the order like 5 minutes after order had been placed but the request got rejected because the kitchen was already preparing the food.
:O :O :O
true enough, the foods were served in less than 15mins, y'all.
must make good use of the huge mirror lol
FYI.
you are welcome.
one last thing we had before heading back!
if you have no idea what this is you should really make a trip down to Melaka lolol.
beautiful half-circle rainbow to accompany us on the way home.
how do i live without u, 2.09am
