Hotel Puri Melaka is a boutique hotel in the heart of the old street of Malacca . The hotel is a restored Peranakan House which once belonged to the descendants of a rubber plantation owner. Though it is still retaining the olden day's charm till now but Hotel Puri Melaka provides modern amenities to the hotel guests. Thanks so much, Uncle Mike! I love my staycation at Hotel Puri Melaka very much. Eleven Bistro & Restaurant is located slightly away from Jonker Main Street, and they served Portuguese cuisine. We ordered quite a numbers of food entrees, but I like Cincaluk Egg, Gula Melaka Fried Chicken Wings and Portuguese Baked Fish very much. Honestly, I have been to Melaka quite a couple of times and I never really thought about stopping by to give it a try, but Uncle Mike suggested this eatery place for lunch. I was surprised that they serve good and delicious Portuguese food. We organized a farewell ...

My NYE's dinner at Calanthe Art Cafe was a delightful one, as the ambience was perfect for peaceful dining as well for reminiscing back on all the memories and thing we did, as well as what had happened for the whole year of 2013.     Calanthe Art Cafe is located at Jonker Walk and they serve the best coffee of the 13 States of Malaysia... Ironically, we did not order any coffee, we had tea tnstead.   We started off our dinner with Satay Chicken , it tasted pretty good.   I had Sesame Chicken as my main, and it tasted decent, nothing to shout about.   Baby had Ponteh Chicken , and it tasted way better than mine, and I can't stop savoring the gravy from the Ponteh Chicken together with my white rice.   The damage was RM50 (SGD19-ish) which included a Seafood Tom Yam and two teas ( Chamomile and Earl Grey).     We did our countdown in the hotel while having Ramly Burger. It was simple y...

[Vacation] My 2nd road-trip to Melaka

Image
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...
