Virgin Visit to Malacca (Part IV)

Update on **20 October 2014**

We left Discovery guesthouse on 8.00am and walked to red house area for waiting bus no 17. Some tourists were waiting at there too.


 It's quiet and silent
 Half an hour later, the bus arrived. Throughout 45 minutes bus journey to Malacca Central (bus fare=RM 2.00), I enjoyed the amazing view of the this heritage city
 Having breakfast in McDonald. Naruto crazy loved the pancakes in McDonald

Let's digging in!!!
 This time using Orkid Malaysia on 11.30am back to Batu Pahat since the time matched our schedule

 Bought the bus ticket (RM 9.90) once arrived Malacca

After two hours, we reached Batu Pahat and directly headed to Batu Pahat Mall for buying Naruto's table fan (the heat in her study table area distracted her from studying)

 Pampering ourselves, thus having late lunch in Sushi King
 my bento
 Naruto's favorite

Virgin Visit to Malacca (Part III)

After sightseeing in the heritage area, Naruto insisted to try the layer cake in Nadeje, Mahkota Parade outlet that was located within the short distance.

It was packed and crowded
It contained 2 types of layer cake: alcoholic and non-alcoholic
Mango yogurt, double coco and forever young
Mango yogurt. I love the this cake texture that rich with strong mango flavour
Double coco flavor. It tasted like ordinary chocolate cake. I didn't think this cake is delectable like what the waiter said.
The more Naruto bited Nadeje layer cakes, the more hungry she was. We went to next door KFC to fill her stomach
We choose to stay in Discovery guesthouse (Naruto had the previous great experience to stay there)
Unfortunately, we're being allocated to the guestroom that was in the next street

Positive reviews: 

1. Centrally located. The customers can walk within the short distance to various tourists spots.
2. The guestroom, toilet and shower room were very clean

Negative reviews:

1. The guestroom (that was allocated to us) was not in the top of the discovery cafe. We had to across the next street (in the Indian street Malacca) to get our guestroom.
2. The toilet and shower area were separated with the guestroom. The staff in the Discovery Cafe told me the guestroom was attached with the toilet and shower (1 week before I contacted the guesthouse to book 1 night stay)
3. I was informed that 2 single room rate with air-conditioner per night was RM 60 (1 week before I contacted the guesthouse to book 1 night stay). Actually, it charged RM 50 per night. 
4. The walls in the guesthouse is extreme thin. We even can hear the conversation of other customers clearly. During the late night, the footstep sounds were very obvious. (It's very suffer for the light sleeper like me)
5. We requested for early check in but not allowed by the staff in the discovery cafe. The exact check-in time suppose was on 3pm. 
6. Weak WIFI service

After check-in and took shower, we explored the Jonker Walk night market on 6pm. The night market was available on weekend.
Vintage items


Korea buckwheat pillow
cute doggies
wide varieties of sauces

One of the famous local snacks, Ding Ding candy (叮叮糖). According to Naruto, the reason it called as "Ding Ding" was "cut" the large pieces of candy by "knocking" it into small pieces with iron bar. It will have the "ding ding" sound.
cute Hello Kitty cookies 
The first snacks that attracted my attention in the night market.


Suggested by Naruto to try the Nyonya Laksa
and Asam Laksa. Both types of Laksa were not liking my taste. As a Sarawakian, I liked the Sarawak Laksa most.

Overall, the price charged by the hawkers were expensive. Different stalls had different prices for the same product.For instance, Naruto was interested a thermos that sold RM 25 while another stall was selling the same thermos with the price RM 28. At the end, we opted not to buy in there. 

Most of the foods in the night market didn't stimulate my appetite. The exhausted feeling and dehydration totally decreased my appetite. I had no idea Rosamond and JoJo love the night market since both of them had been discussing this night market quite few times. Food lovers like Rosamond and JoJo will feel excited and love to try the different snacks. I'm not that type!

The street was super crowded and definitely it's a difficult task for me to take the good photos.  :(:(

Virgin Visit to Malacca (Part II)

We went to Jonker street for hunting our lunch. We decided to looking for satay celup and chicken rice ball.

 First time discovered Hard Rock Cafe
 Found that lots of people queuing up over there. 
 It must be well known for chicken rice. We ended up queuing there too

 It's extreme hot and sweating

After half an hour, it's our turn to indulgence our lunch. The chicken rice shop owner allocated a Japanese guy sharing the table with us. 

I make the initiative to talk with him once Naruto bet he came from Japan after observing his Japanese language travel guide. Naruto was right, he was from Japan. Besides that, we chit chat revolving the topics such as age, job and so on. He agreed to share half chicken with us since the chicken rice shop owner was not willing to have individual portion of chicken rice.

 It's RM 28.50. For me, the chicken rice balls tasted like ordinary chicken rice. It's "so so" like what I expected
 He was a medical doctor from Nagoya, Japan. He thought both of us were friends, not sister.
 crowded with tourists and cars

 How come the beggar able to sleep in such hot weather?

 Anyone like to wait RM 1 coffee?
 Vintage apple juice
 Naruto looked like Rosamond in this picture
 carved fish
 Sun protection jackets
  The production of her 
 Seemed like a long time I never been to temple. Let's go to temple!!!


 Naruto and me donated few ringgits






 The signboard indicated "Purple Gas" that attracted our attention
 We're welcomed by the burnings of the incense sticks and hollypaper
 In here, we accidentally met the medical doctor from Nagoya for the third time. The second time was took place in "San Su Gong".




 Naruto loved to visit Cheng He tea museum





We didn't shopping in here. The hot weather reduced my shopping strength and spirit.  Also, we failed to explore the satay celup in Jonker street. We opted to the nearby shopping malls to have the cooler atmosphere.

Naruto helped me to shoot most of the shots for my blog. T.O.U.C.H.I.N.G

Thank you, Naruto ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
