Ring, ring, ring [6.30am]
Finally our 2 days 1 night short getaway trip to Melaka, Malaysia is finally here. Although I am down with cough, flu and body ache but I'm so happy because me and dear is going on a trip again and this time round we have Valerie and her boyfriend "Ah Chao" joining us too.
Took a cab over to our coach pickup point at Concorde Hotel where we will be taking the Luxury Coach Exclusive bus from Singapore (8.30am) to Melaka. If you ask me, I think our bus tickets are relatively cheap at S$36 per person per 1 way trip. So all in all, we spent a total of S$72 per person for the bus journey to and forth from Singapore.
- Our wefie before everyone doze off from the long journey -
zzZZZ... what a traffic jam [3 hours later]
And so, after 3 hours into the journey, we arrived at the first rest stop for everyone to have our toilet break or stock up on some snacks before we continue on our journey. Everytime we are here, I tend to get myself a Magnum ice-cream and Otah Otah to feast on before we set off.
zzZZZ... [2 hours later] - 2pm
Finally we arrived at our drop-off point at 2.00pm, the Equatorial Hotel. Lucky the Hatten Hotel that we're staying at is just a 5 minutes walk. And so we set off for our lunch first since the check-in time is at 3.00pm. Lalala time for some Nyonya food ^_^
Yummy yummy Nyonya food from Restoran Nyonya Suan which is by far the best restaurant that serve up to standard Nyonya food here ^_^
And so we head out for some photography around Jonker Street area after we check in to our hotel rooms. Took so many photos today despite the hot scorching sun right above our heads ^_^ Lalala we're taking the trishaw again this time round but I think it's really expensive for them to charge us at RM15 for a short journey that last less than 5 minutes but I'm really happy ^_^
Went over to Restoran Tong Sheng over at Jalan Melaka Raya 6 which is just 2 streets away from our hotel. The queue was so long that the waiting time is about 1 hour and 45 mins. I guess everyone is flocking here to try their Cheese Prawn Beehoon and crabs. Seeing how long the queue was, we asked whether is it possible to take-away and we actually have to wait in line too. How inflexible can they be, isn't it better if people are willing to take-away and you have one less group of people occupying the seats?
And so we decided to have our Satay Lok Lok earlier instead as our dinner. Lalala time for Satay Lok Lok at Restoran Ban Lee Siang which is at 45-E Jalan Ong Kim Wee. Take note the standard rate that all the taxi drivers here seems to be asking for is a minimum flat rate of RM15 which reminds me of the news lately voting taxi drivers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia being the worst drivers. Hmm...
We decided to walk back to Jonker Street which is 2 streets away since there are no cabs in sight and we don't want to be chopped a flat rate of RM15 again by the taxi drivers. Lalala walk around Jonker Street with dear dear so Yi Kai.
Took a cab back to Jalan Melaka Raya 6 again (RM15 gone) to order the cheese prawn beehoon for take-away. Can you believe we waited for just 15mins and we got our orders out to us rather than in the evening when everyone is having their dinner here. So happy that we can finally try out the yummy yummy cheese prawn beehoon, and best of all its in the comfort of our hotel rooms too ^_^
End of a wonderful 1st day here at Melaka ^_^
