Yeah finally dear can take some time off and we're heading to Melaka again after such a long time. Lalala so happy hehe. Woke up early in the morning and head over to Concorde Hotel @ Orchard to catch the Luxury Coach from Singapore to Melaka ^_^
Argh it's the start of the one week school holidays in Singapore and there are lots of people travelling up to Malaysia over the weekends that we're stuck in the traffic for so long. Can you imagine being stuck in the bus for so many hours. So happy when we finally arrived at the pit stop at Yong Peng Lucky Garden for us to have a short 30 minutes break :)
My all time favourite Magnum ice cream ^_^
Finally we are here at Hatten Hotel around 3pm+ after spending such a long time inside the coach bus. So sad that we were delayed for like 2 hours more than our usual timing due to the school holidays. Got a room upgrade from my original Premier Deluxe Suite to Hatten Suite which was a bigger room with a living room, 2 bath rooms and King size bed however I'm not too impressed since my initial room was on a higher level but now we were given a lower level room. The reason given to me wasn't very convincing when I was told the room that I have booked are all fully occupied? Maybe I don't understand the logic of making a hotel reservation but correct me if I'm wrong. Why do we even make a hotel booking if the room we booked prior to our stay will still be occupied by then. ROFL.
Lalala checked into our room before we head out for lunch. Initially wanted to eat the Nyonya food at Restoran Nyonya Suan but it's closed from 2.30pm and reopened from 5.30pm onwards. Damn I was conned by those people who updated the wrong information at TripAdvisor. In the end we walked over to the mall for a walk before deciding to head over to Restoran Tong Seng to have the cheesy prawn beehoon. But guess what! The shop is closed over the weekends for god knows what reasons!! Damn we were conned by the information indicated in TripAdvisor for the second time. So angry that I login to TripAdvisor to update the correct operating hours.
By this time we're both sweating like nobody business and sweaty all over with all the wrong information causing us to walk for such a long distance. In the end we walked back to Restoran Nyonya Suan to have our late lunch when the restoran opens again at 5.30pm.
First Stop: Restoran Nyonya Suan
It seems that price hike has strike Melaka too with the prices of all the dishes up by RM2. Ordered the Ayam Rendang (RM20.14), Kang Kung Belacan (RM13.78), Telur Dadar Udang (RM13.78) and Ikan Gerang Asam sliced fish *market price* (RM34.98). Everything are not cheap anymore since the implementation of the GST in Malaysia.
Decided to try out Uber as our main mode of transport here in Melaka since we dislike the dishonest taxi culture here where the drivers just love to extort tourists with every journey from RM12-RM15. Guess what, our journey from Restoran Nyonya Suan to our next destination cost us just RM4.13.
Second Stop: Tong Bee Stall Long Kang Siham
Yeah time to try out the Tong Bee Stall - Long Kang Siham located along Jalan Bunga Raya near to Jalan Munshi Abdullah. You just need to be adventurous enough to walk around the area and you're find lots of people sitting on the little cute short stools along the Long Kang having their endless plates of cockles, clams and mussels.
Yummy yummy muscles and clams hehe. Ordered 2 plates of muscles (RM4) and the claypot clams (RM10) which tasted so nice but too bad we were too full from our Nyonya food that we didn't get to order all the other dishes. Phew we were damn full from all the delicacies around here hehe. Decided to take a walk along the streets back to Jonker Walk to digest what we have eaten so far. Lalala within 15 minutes or so we're back to Jonker Walk.
Third Stop: Jonker Walk
Lalala time to walk around Jonker Walk and get all the delicacies that I wanna eat from here. The crowd was crazy tonight due to the school holidays and there were so many Singaporeans around us lol.
Me and Tokio Marine Life
Fourth Stop: Satay Lok Lok
Walked back and forth Jonker Walk before we decided to go have our Satay Lok Lok so that we can be back on time for our movie later on. Lalala our Uber trip cost us just RM3 from Jonker Walk to Ban Lee Siang Satay Lok Lok instead of the usual RM15 if we took the dishonest taxis at the main entrance. Wooo even the prices here have increased liao. We had a total of 24 sticks which cost us RM26.40 (RM1.10 per stick).
I love this so so much
Yeah time for our movie. Took Uber to head back to our hotel which cost us just RM7.23 from Ban Lee Siang to Hatten. Had a short rest before we head over to GSC Dataran Pahlawan for our movie date hehe. Watched Kong: Skull Island with the girlfriend tonight ^_^
