Malacca 2008

After months of planning, the day trip with my friends finally materialised last Saturday.

It was a really good trip; a getaway from the usual city life. The weather was perfect, a slight overcast. We visited historical sites – St Paul’s Hill, Fort Famosa (as the locals refer to it now to avoid confusion with A’Famosa Resort) and the Stadhuys. We took photos. We left footprints along the busy narrow roads of Jonker Street. We visited the Majestic, a recently refurbished mansion turned into a boutique hotel by YTL. The Spa Village and the interior of the hotel was lovely, a modernised version of antiquity elegance. Of course, we stopped for food – Teo Chew Bak Kut Teh, Mango Ice Kacang, Cendol, Popiah, Pork Satay, Chinese Desserts, drinks in a cafe and the end the day, a scrumptious 8 dish Teo Chew dinner at Teo Soon Loong. After an interesting stroll along Jonker Street where there was a night market, we headed home for KL.

I bet we all had fun! Looking forward to more of such trips with you guys
