Lalala it's our 3 years anniversary today and we're going on a short getaway trip to Melaka. Packed our bags and left the house at about 7am plus as we head to Ang Mo Kio MRT station. Took the MRT from Ang Mo Kio to Kranji and we used our EZ-Link cards to take the bus 170 to Woodlands Checkpoint.
So lucky it wasn't crowded since it's a Thursday and majority of the people are working. Once we cleared the Woodlands checkpoint as well as the Malaysia checkpoint, we went down to the Hentian Bas (Bus Bay) to take SBS transit 170 to Larkin Terminal.
It got so crowded here pretty fast as the queue for the bus gets longer and longer
Using our EZ Link cards to get to Larking Terminal
So happy that we managed to get a seat and didn't have to stand although it was just a 15 minutes bus journey from the Malaysia checkpoint to Larkin Terminal. Once we got there, we went straight to KKKL bus ticketing booth to check out the tickets to Melaka. We're so lucky because there's one at 10am so we only have to wait for less than 30 minutes for the coach bus. Bought the bus tickets for two for RM42 to go to Melaka.

Our 10am bus ride to Melaka
Lalala we finally arrived at Melaka Sentral at 12.50pm. It's a closed to 3 hours journey from Larkin Terminal to Melaka and I felt it's even faster than us taking the bus from Singapore to Melaka via the Tuas Checkpoint.
Once we alighted form the bus, we walked to the ticket counters to look for the KKKL ticketing booth to buy our bus tickets for our return trip on Saturday for RM42. Yeah so happy that we got here so fast and spent so much lesser than taking the bus from Singapore which will cost us twice the price.
Check out the timing from Melaka Sentral back to Larkin Terminal to plan your time better :)
Our bus tickets back to Larkin Terminal on Saturday
Our travel companions every single time :)
Went to the main entrance of Melaka Sentral to take a taxi to Makota Parade. Take note that none of the taxi drivers here will want to run on meter and they will openly charge you a flat rate of RM20 to go to Makota Parade which is just 10 minutes of journey.
Alighted infront of Restoran Nyonya Suan for our lunch as we're starving and it's still too early to check-in to the hotel too. Ordered the Ayam Rendang (RM17), Asam Slice Fish (RM25), Kangkung Cili Belacan (RM11) and Telur Dadar Chincaluk / Fermented Baby Shrimp fried egg (RM9). So happy because I really love the food here so much as compared to the rest of the Nyonya restaurant nearby.
After our lunch at Restoran Nyonya Suan, we walked over to Hatten Hotel which is just 10 minutes away. So happy that we're able to check-in to our room earlier because we're so tired after the long journey and the weather was so hot.
Woke up and went down to the swimming pool for a 30 minutes swim before we head out for dinner. Walked over to Tong Sheng Restaurant which is just 10 minutes walk for our dinner. Ordered the Cheesy Prawn Mee Hun (RM35) and Salted Egg Crabs which we have to order a minimum of 2 crabs (RM149.50). To be honest we were pretty shock at the price of the crabs because we could have eaten alot more in JB with that amount of money.
After our dinner, we walked back to Makota Mall for a walk and went to ToysRus too hehe. Lalala got for myself the Lego Mighty Micro Batman versus. Catwoman for RM49. It is so cheap and based on the current exchange rate, it is only SGD$17.20 so I save a few bucks :)
Hehe so happy to be spending our time together here in Melaka. Went to play bowling at the mall, and we kinda sucks at it lol. We are so lousy at bowling that none of our scores exceed 100 marks haha. After our bowling, we head back to the hotel to rest for the day since it's a Thursday and there's nothing much at Jonker Street today too.
