hahaha the scenery is nice especially if full moon..but like i said if got a few guys go together no prob at all,but small group or girls go den better not be at night..My house is in bkt beruang nearby ayer keroh only..The dim sum is quite chun,especially the char siew pau..starts at 5am..also can get chun pork chop wantan mee and char kuey for bfast nearby

Aww!!! That's seriously sound nice!!! Where's at bukit beruang? Come on!!! Full address!!! I love char siew pau!!!

Oh yea, how can I forget the Malacca spinning tower is it? I heard not bad! Should try it out

bkt beruang which 1 bro? lao di fang or the one deeper inside? hehe..

skysherly, cannot la.. i have test coming weekend.. for sure not going back.. hehe.. sori ya.. but i guide u via LYN.. haha... the spinning tower ar.... personally.. as a malaccan myself.. i think is better for tourists to visit all the historical places instead of those gimmicky attraction (esp the tower n big wheel) by our local government.. after all, malacca is famous with the enriched heritage and history whr Malaysia started...

just like how our local gov allows the construction of Dataran Pahlawan... they shud know very well that piece of field is whr Tunku Abdul Rahman declare independence... yet they demolish it.. all previous generations (my dad n mom) felt is a waste as the field is an usual hangout for all malaccan during evening time whr rugby, soccer, hockey playing can be seen...

hehe.. enough of my nagging.. prepare to get stuck in traffic jam anyway... PLS plan ur trip carefully ya .. traffic here is getting worse and worse everyday..

Malacca is nice la.. The Jonker Street is very nice! The assam shop next to newtow food court very nice la.. forgot the name btw

Hmm nearby mmu university. Once ure in bkt beruang theres a petronas at the traffic light. Just turn towards it with petronas on your right go straight down the road and you can see steam comming from the corner shop on your left..have to confirm with capiche if the quality is really good for chinese standards,for me its quite good

Ali Roast-em made a lot of under table money frm that project

I'm not going this coming weekend also mah lolx. Well, I will definitely want to go around all the historical places. Because if I'm arriving at late afternoon, I will only have time for jonker street and for sure I can finish it within 1-2 hours, other time I will be free, that's why thought of giving it a try, then Sunday only start with my whole day walking in Malacca. I love Malacca because of the enriched heritage only

Oh yea, I heard about the Dataran Pahlawan. I was not sure about it, because I heard from some ah gong ah ma during my last visit (Basically I can just talk to people like that ) so I didn't really bother to go there.

No nagging la, it's nice to share the experience, opinion and feeling towards a place, at least good for me to know more about Malacca. I was once hope that I'm a Malaccan but unfortunately, I'm not.
Now traffic how bad o? Roughly what's the time start to be bad?


The Assam shop? Selling assam laksa?

Erm.... MMU there ya? Then maybe I ask some of my mmu friends. I thought you are a Chinese?

hehe.. thn shud be that shop... the one at the corner lot 1.. their dimsum is far more better than the one at the back... .. thnks to our 'Lori Gostan' for wasting our tax revenue...


haha... jonker itself has a lot of places to see... it takes some time to cover the whole jonker street, heeren street, goldsmith street n blablabla.. haha... if u have time, can pay a visit to the mosque beside jonker street.. cant recall its name.. it is one of the oldest mosque in Malaysia... if u were there already.. drop by cheng hoon temple, just behind jonker street.. dont forgetting the Admiral Cheng Ho musuem on the Heeren Street..

hehe.. basically u can skip the shopping centre in Malacca la esp if u r KL-ppl.. malacca shopping centre is PEANUT.. haha.. got nothing to see 1... the last Dataran Pahlawn is really shite... but after opened a new GSC cinema now better.. last time many malaccan forecasted DP will be closed in no time.. including me!! haha...

er... normally if weekend... the jam would start just after working hour on friday.. cos a lot outstation ppl starts comin in... since u r using ayer keroh road right? i would recommend u to skip passing through the Ayer Keroh industrial area... use the other road via Bukit Katil and to Duyong.. this road can lead to town more faster.. but oso depends, cause thanks to GPS technology.. a lot singaporean (especially) using this road d... haha...

Jonker street if about those small small stalls actually can't really attract me, I will go for food, or something that I can hardly find in KL. Then I might spend more time there, or else I can finish it very fast. Just like my record, for 1utama from old wing to new wing I can finish in less than 2 hours lolx! Well, The mosque ya? I've been there once, may be will go again, on yea the cheong hoon temple, must go!!! Definitely the Cheng Ho museum is in my list, a must to go aswell

Oh gosh, even in KL also I try to skip shopping complex, so for sure in Malacca I will skip it as well. I don't like windows shopping unless I need to buy something. But I doubt I want to go there to do shopping, prefer to spend the money for food!!!! More and more PONTEH!!!!! New GSC? Takkan I go there watch movie right? I prefer to go Cineleisure to watch So Dataran Pahlawan also can skip

Aiyoyo, most likely I will be arriving on Saturday late afternoon, because I may drop by at Seremban for Hakka mee first!!! So I charm jor >"<!! Erm... Where's that what Bukit Katil? Damn, that's confusing already!!! Is it in GPS? If yes then should be alright as I will be bringing a GPS along... but hopefully I won't get lost. >"<

haha.. no la.. of course jonkers mini stall dun attract u.. i dun even bother to look at their goods when i'm there.. haha.. the main attraction of jonker street is those all buildings.. my grandpa has 1 on jonker street.. see whether u can spot it..

haha.. the gsc is peanut compare to KL la.. haha... kacang tanah onlie.. if u wanna taste original Baba-Nyonya food (cendol, pongteh, mee siam n etc)... there's one behind Jonker Street (known as Kota Laksamana, mlc ppl call it KL.. hahahaha) .. well, contrary to popular belief, Jonker street has the best cendol in malacca.. this is one typical example of overrating by tourist... this shop on jonker (u will able to spot it once u on jonker street cos the business is blardy good, which i dun understand why), their gula melaka is not pure 1.. they mix with maltese glucose to make it sticky.. the PURE gula melaka is NOT STICKY.. rmb this point

i'm not too sure whether is on GPS.. cos i dun have 1 and i not too familiar with the functionality.. haha... actually is quite easy.. let me dig old tech of google earth and show u ya.. not now la.. need time 1 le. hehe..

malaka nice!! i am ffrom muarr...

Those building memang nice but some they already renovate, not so nice Which is your grandpa 1? Give me some hints!! I will definitely find out!!!

I love Ponteh very much. I tried Donald and Lily before and I fall in love with it so badly. So I must wanna go there to eat again!!! Jonker street the cendol not really that nice, for me I don't fancy about it. Isn't fresh santan!!!! So, forget about it. lolx.

No problem, I still have time before I reach Malacca. I can imagine I'm going to put on a few kgs after the trip

capiche: yeah mate, the corner shop is the best..i live right opposite it so morning wait for the steam to rise then go makan! hehe

skysherly: i never said im chinese.. im malaysian,we are all one race..ive been in melaka for a few years already but im originally from subang. Maybe could meet you guys up when you decide to come down..but my choice of places and eateries are not those touristy ones and mostly small stalls and roadside food,the best of its kind in my opinion.

Hey Ryan, if you don't mind and you are free, for sure I won't mind to meet you when I'm in the town!!! Don't worry, I go for nice food even it's at the dirty lorong, as long as it's nice and after that I don't get sick will do. Sometimes touristy ones are too overacted, it will not be nice at all.

haha ok its a date then..only if you can find me the steam bread shop!

anyone know any nice shisha places in melaka? besides gizmo and hang tuah

I will definitely bring you to the steamed bread shop because I can't recall the name at the moment, so best is we go together which will be easier!

Oh yea, is it still nice to sit on the "beca" to tour around? I want to go the Hang Li Poh there to make a wish!! Throw some coins there first

i find it a bit..touristy..with all the jinjang decorations,bright colors and loud music.. and its pretty expensive.from stadhuys to jonker roughly 3-5 min walk costs rm10 per passenger

Loud music?
Holy crap, can I request to turn it off? Well, I have not been on any of it yet, thought want to give it a try but then they charge per passenger? Not per trip? 3-5 min only? Damn it!!! So expensive!! >"<

which is why you normally see mat sallehs sittin on the becas in melaka.im sure you can turn the music off but..hehe guess its up to you.when i traveled to indonesia that was an authentic beca experience, over here its just like tourist props..my kl friends took the beca here last time 3 ppl rm30, 10 per head. i walked and reached faster lol

its 3-5 min walk..beca took about 10 mins
