Just in case you all didn't know, last weekend was Zach's birthday! He's now officially in the unclehood age!! (I consider anyone who has reached 25 as uncle and aunty, I'll be one next year).
Call him uncle! Lol
Zach is a guy who loves to travel. He really like beautiful places and stuff. Thus, for his 25th birthday, I initially wanted to bring him to Thailand for vacation but we were a little late in buying plane tickets thus we can't make it there 'economically'. Thus we postponed our Thailand trip to July.
So what do we do for Zach's birthday? I told him, let's go somewhere local and have fun. I thought of going to Malacca as our previous trip was filled with happy memories with the Nuffies. But, the trip was a short one and we didn't actually get to see a lot of the historical city. Thus, after checking with Zach if he would like to go to Malacca which he replied yes, then we're off!
We took a bus from Pudu on a Friday morning to Malacca. The bus was a 10AM bus and we reached Malacca about 12ish. Then, once we touched down, we caught a 'economical' bus and headed towards our hotel, Aldy Hotel which is strategically located near Jonker Street and also, Dataran Pahlawan Mall (walking distance)!!
Look at the size of the luggage I had to carry.. Birthday boy made me carry it..
The hotel is a very comfortable 3 star hotel with reasonable facilities. My room had a bathtub (hehehe), TV with Astro, nice comfy bed, powerful air cond and all you'll ever need in a hotel room. Hurray for Aldy Hotel!
Don't ask me what pose was that. Randomly posing
For the first day, we spent our time visiting museums! Yes, we're a bored couple with nothing better to do than visit museums and read old stuffs. Lol. We went to the Stadhuys and I was surprised that I really enjoyed the visit.
Inside the Stadhuys, we get to learn all about the old days where cannons were used in battles and not for display nor toy..
How a ball-less eunuch (Cheng Ho) gets glorified..
and many more historical facts that I didn't know in details. It was really a experience to visit the museum for me. :D
After that, we retreated to Jonker Street for lunch and Zach was delighted to be on his way to eat - Chicken Rice Ball! Nom nom nom!! Look at how happy Zach was.
Zach is hiding his happy face
Of course, I was not allowed to take picture of Zach's face when he was busy noming the Chicken Rice Ball, so here's a picture of the yummies we had when we were there.
Lo and behold, the chicken rice balls!
It is rather pricey to eat for daily basis, but for vacation, it's definitely worth your time. The shop is actually pretty famous that on weekends, you'd be required to wait for quite some time. Just look at the line.
For the rest of that day, we proceeded to walk around Jonker street and then catching a midnight movie at GSC Dataran Pahlawan Megamall. Watched 'Another Pandora Box Story' (Canto movie). It is extremely lame. I like lame movies, but this is too excessive that I won't recommend you to watch unless you really wish to part with your RM10.
That covers day 1 for our Malacca trip. I'm saving day 2 for the next post. :D
Had fun in Malacca
