Road Trippin' to Melaka

Road trip with the Boos. We didn't do much in Melaka except eating. We didn't visit any of those tourist spots either this time round.


As famous as this chicken rice store is, we didn't try this one. We had ours in a dingy little shop. We were advised to avoid the nice. big and comfortable ones. They are for tourists! ( I know, we ARE tourists, but we like to eat good food, not tourist trap food) The nice big stores make good photos though.
The best juice is in Cafe Limau Limau. We were there the last time, glad to have found it this time too, since it moved to a side street instead of being on the main street. It is very charming and a nice nice respite from the unrelenting Melaka heat.
Jonker Walk is closed to traffic on weekend evenings. Hawkers will set up shop selling all kinds of stuff. It is a long long pasar malam really, with a huge food section. There are even evening performances too!

Their trishaws beats ours hands down in terms of decoration. Plus, most of them do not have loud headache-inducing ah beng techno blaring out from them.


Doesn't he look like he is glad to get of the Eye on Malaysia?






The GPS took us on a different route out of Melaka. Instead of getting to the NS Highway, we took a smaller road to Muar and then to the Highway. It was very interesting, passing kampungs, small eateries, fruit stalls and markets. We never did got to Muar though, choosing to go back to the NS Highway earlier, cutting through a plantation on our way there.
