HÜBSCH JESS BABY

My 2D1N short retreat to Melaka was fruitful, as Melaka ( Malay name for Malacca) is a port city with full of unique history. We went on a road trip to Melaka , and we drove down from Singapore via Tuas Checkpoint (second link ). We stopped by Yong Peng for brekkie, and we had Yong Tau Foo at Jin Du Restaurant . I love the chewy Hock Chew fish balls with meat fillings... My brekkie went well with the home-made chili paste... We continued our journey after our meal, and we finally reached the rich historical and cultural city centre that was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in July 2008. It took us about a 3-hour-ish drive to reach Melaka (including buffering like custom checks, slight traffic jam and resting for brekkie in Yong Peng)   As we planned to stay a night in Melaka on the New Year's Eve (NYE 31 Dec 2013), therefore reservations are a MUST... We booked a Standard/Superior room at Bayview Hotel with complimentary breakfast a...

As everybody knows that both Baby and I are food lovers, and we super love to eat. Since we had the time to make a road trip to Melaka, so we decided to have a good dinner to reward our hard work for driving ourselves to Melaka (our first attempt).   Most of the cities in Malaysia have their own local and speciality food, as for Melaka, Satay, Nonya food are the specialities and of course the famous Chicken Rice Ball.   Famosa Chicken Rice Ball Restaurant is the famous traditional in Melaka that serves Chicken Rice Ball and is located beside the Jonker Street and with a prominent yellow signboard.   The whole eatery place was running full-house, and we queued to get our seats... Soon after 15mins of waiting, we were given a table.     I ordered a glass of Lemon Juice to quench our thirst while waiting for our meal to be served.     Chicken Rice Balls are priced at RM0.50 each, and it is just normal chick...

Exploring the Quayside Heritage Centre in Melaka which is located  pretty near to Jonker Street.     Melaka River Pirate Park is one of the latest attractions which is located along the Quayside and it looks like an old-school day theme park (mini UK funfair)   The theme park featured a Ferris Wheel, Pirate Ship, Haunted Castle and etc...     Lovely morning quayside view (a short walk from the hotel I was staying)       OM!! What a big pirate ship??     We were at Dataran Quayside , and I shall let the photos do the talking then...         Melaka River was literally once mentioned as the ‘Venice of the East’     The river cruise is probably one of the nicest experiences on the river. We decided to go for the cruise at sunset when the weather was much cooler, but more impo...
