We started rather early but still left SGP at about 7am. We took a real slow ride to Melaka. As usual, i topped up at GP Petronas and this time, my goal was to try to get to Melaka and back in ONE TANK!!!
So i topped up till it can take no more.... Off we went and i rode about 140km/h average. Nice pace.... along the way..mom took a few videos of us riding. We stopped at Pagoh as we wanted mom to stretch her legs but it seems like she did not really need it! That's good news... we are also "training" her for a longer ride to Penang this Easter LWE. I hope she will be able to enjoy rather than taking this as a chore/pain...
Oh yeah.. Fernie...u'll need to get used to longer rides too!!! But i know you'll be fine.
Got to the Melaka and had a look at Kings Hotel which is pretty far from the city but near the Ayer Keroh Toll (nearer the toll than Jonker Street) Ok place to stay but we had to ride into town in our gear so a little sianz....
We got to Nancy's Kitchen and the foods is really really good!! The Nonya Kuih, Buah Keluak, Popiah, Kuih Pie Ti, Nonya Chap Chai.... etc etc etc...
Next time we will buy the Nonya Chang!! Should be damn good too!!
As usual... always on the look out for nice bikes!! Thi sis a well taken care of "Antique" Its a Honda.... wonder if the owner rides it!
This is the near the Christ Church Melaka - honestly... i dont even know what this place is called but a lot of tourists gathered there with bazaars and shops around...
Of course, the Church......trying to be arty farty...
Another Arty Farty Shot of the sights........ all with a Sony Ericsson C902
Another angle of the place.
Nice or not har???the Phone Cam is not too bad with the right lightings, i guess.....
This is one of the adjacent streets along Jonker Street.... i guess they sell the paper cuttings and they used it to paint on the outside of the walls.
Jonker Street...starts in the evening and plenty of things to see... reminds me of Taipei's night markets... just nice... when Fernie is in Taipei when we were in Melaka this time round (she is there with her brother for a friend's wedding!!)
Welcome to Jonker Street!!
A Performance that is to take place in the evening... we did not have the heart to stay and watch since we were in riding gear.... bleah...
This is the Hotel i always wanted to stay - The Baba House hotel!!! Highly recommended for anyone who wants a cheap but culturally beautiful place to put up for the night! I love this place!!
Ample Parking at the back!! Damn Cool!!
Hotel Puri.... another alternative?? Its just across from Baba House!!
This is one of the restaurants... wonder how is food there but the decorations is really nice!! I feel Nonya/Baba/Peranakan!!!Because of this place... i am thinking.... should Shunfu be decorated as such??? Hmmmmm....... comments???
Mom actually has videos..... i'll see if i can figure how to post them and add them here.... otherwise........ where is my wife??? Oh Yah.. she is in Taipei.....!!!
