Malacca was our first visit Malaysia programme for 2014. This trip was took place in January 2014. So below, some random pics taken during our 2 days 1 night trip to Malacca city, my all time favourite city.
Ancient building along the Malacca street
We went there a few days before chinese new year. so, the deco in conjuction with the festival has been put up to anticipate the festival
Another coffee shop in jonker street. Quite happening and easy to locate.
The tomb of Hang Kasturi
Jonker Street
A good initiative by Malacca government
Famous pineapple tarts are available here. But since there is no halal certification, we let go this one.
Boutique hotel at Jonker Street
Kwan Im Temple along Jonker Street
Another cafe called Orang Belanda aka "The Dutch"
We noticed that there are a lot of things to enjoy around this area. For example, there are a Baba & Nyonya Heritage Museum (entrance fee applicable), Malaqa museum (free entrance)
We went to this museum since it is free. Sometime, something are free right. so, grab it and take whatever you can.
Below, random pics inside the Malaqa museum.
Basically, it displays the ancient and heritage furniture since whatever dynasty.
Pictures - for sale
The green lot is also a museum. something related to jewellery. forgot the full name. but it was closed that day.
The HRC
Jonker street at night
Souvenirs
The street is part of the UNESCO heritage site
some gig
The famous cendol shop, Jonker88 but we didnt try.
The night market.
what can i say about this place? it lacks of multi cultural stalls and shops. basically, it is dominated by the chinese and portugese-chinese community. so, in terms of searching of halal food, it was pretty hard to us.
