Durian Cake or Lempok Durian
Durian Cake or Lempok Durian is one of my favourite local snacks. Got this in Malacca but it’s one of the best I’ve had. I’ve had other brands that are not that good so scrutinized the label and saw that … Continue reading

Malacca Road Trip: Forget about the Museum
I feel bad to say this, but save the 10 rinngit and forget about the museum. It’s all really too touristy and quite disappointing in terms of restoration. Just a bunch of dressed up mannequins. Pretty dismal if you ask … Continue reading
Malacca Road Trip: Majestic Hotel
Picked Majestic as it was number one on Tripadvisor. There is no free wifi in the rooms so we ended up in the lobby quite a bit. But it was nice. The staff are so friendly and you can help … Continue reading

Malacca Road Trip: Couldn’t Leave Without Having Chendol
Picked a random place at Jonker Street to have laksa and chendol (Luiz Cafe). The laksa was awful but the chendol was ok. Very expensive too (Singapore prices). Wish they were more generous with the Gula Melaka though. So my … Continue reading
Road Trip: Malacca
Just some photos of what Malacca or Melaka town looks like. It’s quite a peaceful safe place and this is what I took as we drove around. You need a GPS though and even with that we kinda got a … Continue reading
Malacca Road Trip: Tengkera Putu Piring
I’ve had much better putu piring in Singapore (my uncle E lines up to buy them for us from Haig Road), but I was just charmed by the idea of a family working together from their humble abode. I just … Continue reading

Malacca Road Trip: Wan Tan Mee at Mei Sin Cafe
I quite enjoyed the Wan Tan Mee at an old style coffeeshop called Mei Sin Cafe with quite a number of vendors, although B found it too soggy. You can find these all over Malaysia, but in Singapore just a … Continue reading

Malacca Road Trip: Mahkota Parade
Somehow the older smaller mall was more impressive than the large one. But to be brutally honest, still can’t compare to malls in Singapore when it comes to selection. The same way malls in Singapore cannot come close to malls … Continue reading
Malacca Road Trip: A&W Meal at the Biggest Mall in Melaka
It’s called Dataran Pahlawan Melaka Megamall and the most interesting thing I found there was the A&W. It sure was nice to have a root beer float. I really hope they make a comeback in Singapore. B enjoyed his coney … Continue reading

Malacca Road Trip: Roti Canai & Nasi Lemak Breakfast at Restoran Saravanna
One of our best meals in Malacca was also our last meal here. And it happened to be walking distance away from our hotel – The Majestic. It always seems to be the case for me that the best food … Continue reading

Malacca: Nonya Lunch at Makko
Maybe it was because I was famished, but this Nonya meal at the famous restaurant called Makko was so good and I ate too quickly. There was a special type of prawn crackers that you don’t get in Singapore. It … Continue reading

Road Trip to Malacca: The Drive There
Took 3.5 hours to get to Malacca from the Causeway. And how lovely not to have to fill in the white card anymore. I think it only applies for Singaporeans though? If people tell you it takes only 2 hours … Continue reading
