Weekends are indeed precious nowadays. Especially when you have to face your boss' angry tone everyday at work! Shall not complain about it, cause this is supposed to be a happy post! ^_^!!!
Early March, the Dearies' planned a 2D1N Meleka trip just for a short getaway (from W.O.R.K!).
Plan for the trip: EAT. SLEEP. PLAY. RELAX. NO-WORK!!!
Since there are 9 of us, we decided to coach down instead of driving there. We booked our coach tickets from 5 Stars, $50/pax return tickets. Our 1-night stay is at Hatten Hotel, which is besides the Mahkota Parade Square. Very easily accessible to different parts of Melaka. :)
We booked a 2-bedroom suite for RM$715.40 (all inclusive for 4 breakfasts, service and hotel tax). Quite worth it as each of us only pay about RM$80 for it. The room is quite big and can fit us all in and sleep comfortably!
The Living Room - Spacious
The Master bedroom & twin bedroom
The splendid view of Melaka with the sea in front of us :)
By the time we are settled in, our stomachs are growling
like mad. It's like 3 pm in the afternoon so it's too early for Jonker
Walk to open, thus we decided to settle our lunch nearby. Directly
across our hotel is a Korean Restaurant: Daorae Korean BBQ Restaurant.
The
place looks quite like a authentic Korean shop, with people sitting on
the floor like the tatami style. They have this huge exhaust thing about
the table to suck all the smoke from the BBQ-ing.
BBQ-ing all the meat! *SINFUL!* The usual side dishes from any Korean restaurant.
Dearies looking happy after going hungry for so long! ^_^!
We ordered the typical Korean food like BBQ pork slices, marinated beef, tteokbokki, kimchi stew, stir-fried glass noodles (on the house from the manager ^^). Initially thought we ordered just nice for everyone, but turn out that the food portion is super big that we couldn't finished all the food.
After lunch, we went back to Mahkota Parade to shop around and digest our food. We found the famous Nadeje Crepe! HAHAHA! I missed it on my last trip so was really glad to finally giving it a try! :)There's so many flavors to choose and we just couldn't decide on it. ^_^! In the end, we bought 7 slices and the rest were giving me a O.O!! look! HAHAHA! Anyway, those for meant for our desserts cause we were too full! :):):)
Before our trip, we saw on TV about this rotating observation tower that offers the bird eye view of Melaka. It's just across the road from Mahkota and because the weather is super hot, we bought our tickets to relax up there. It costs RM$20/pax.
Bird eye view of Melaka, from different views.
It only took about 5 minutes and we're up at the top. :)
Christchurch is next on the list! :) That's also another iconic feature in Melaka and it's just about 10 minutes walk from the Observation Tower. Notice that we walked around rather than cabbing. :):):)
It was still quite early for Jonker Walk. Only some stalls are setting up, so we went to the 三叔公 to hide away from the HEAT! A cold drink for everyone and also candy-crushing! ^^ It's really funny cause everyone is holding their own phone and starts asking for requests.
Lots of interesting stuff along the street, food, bags, some local products, etc. Just spent a while to take a look at some of the stalls and you'll see some of the really old school things.
Ate some street food and we went on for our dinner: Satay Celup! It was a mad queue so we decided to forgo it and went ahead for desserts! We're still full from the afternoon lunch too! -_-"
Our 1st dessert cum dinner for the night! :)
This dessert shop is just a few shops away from the satay celup and since we're still feeling hot from the weather, a big bowl of ice sounds good to us! We ordered a 6-pax mixed fruits ice and managed to finish everything! ^_^!!!
More food from the second day, woke up early to queue for the chicken rice balls! :) And of course before leaving Melaka, a bowl of Chendol is a MUST! :)
Dearies' 1st overseas trip after graduation! (Or maybe after everyone starts to work?) :)
Looking forward to our next trip: Phuket? My all-time favorite beach getaway! :)
