very near..5 mins drive.

Yea after they renovated the portugese settlement the place totally sucks..btw big ben is realllly big,hes a bit hard to miss..anyways best time to visit the portugese settlement is during christmas where every house is fully decorated with lights and the area is very festive.This yr even the San Pedro fest was a major disappointment.

Live band in pure is quite bad..best live bands would be at jonkers (Geographers and Ringo). Most of the clubs here have a certain racial theme:
Pure: mostly indians
arena: ah bengs
cube: arabs and africans

whats an axian?

I just went on Monday, came back today. Remind me never to go anywhere during holiday season. Malacca would have been nice if not for the damn crowd.

Still crowded with people during raya festival?
Or maybe most people kampung are in Malacca?

Yes really jam! All famous restaurants such as Chung wAH CHICKEN RICE BALL, 88 MUSEUM CAFE, capitol satay celup, Ban Lee siang satay celup & etc..super duper long que...atleast 30-40 ppl queeing up in each of those outlets..I wanted to try too but failed.....

On the weay back y'day. all roads leadimg out & in to Melaka jam-up...Took me almost 45min out from Melaka to Air keroh & another 2.5 hrs reaching Puchong Y'day from 5:30pm b4 reaching puchong at 8:30pm!!..haizzz...

I think those cumin bck Today worst...

B4 I forgotten, There is a new attraction in Malacca. Opened in May 2009. I stumbled on this FREE attraction last weekend while driving & avoiding the horrible jam surrounding the hiostory enclaved of Malacca..

I din know it's exist & even my parent & brothers don;t even know about it....presenting the Free musical fountain.....In KL (Mine Wonderland) & Singapore (Sentosa Island) you need to pay to see this fountain!! Here in malacca ..it's FREE..but open only after 7pm.

Location: Beside the destroyed old Melaka market at Jln Kee Ann off Jln Bunga Raya http://wikimapia.org/#lat=2.1996219&lon=10...=18&l=0&m=s&v=9

I want to comment something

Old rasa sayang restaurant?

Sorry to say, their food is so so only and their ordering system sucks.

Must be the same old system they used for the past damn decades.

We have bigger restaurants with more table sitting in Klang Valley but yet
our orders were never that late. It took 1 freaking hour just to get our food on the table.

I'm sorry but to the management of that restaurant, you rate 0 in 1 - 10.

Your service is the worst I've seen.

LoL..ive never heard of it..the old market is on the left before the bridge going to hang tuah,digital mall etc right? actually theres a lot of small attractions along the paved river walkway..previously they had the lantern display, dancing lights etc..

Not beside Digital Mal-lah, That dying digital mall is located at Jln Ong Kim Wee. The old destroyed Market is beside Plaza Inn Hotel/failed shopping mall. & opposite the ex-Cathay Cinema.

Those attractions are good for Ma;accan but also enriched certain top ppl

oh okok..got it..the old cinema..yea dude tell me about the "enrichment". Even saturday, sundays and public holiday have to pay parking till 6pm!

i will be going to melaka next week and will be there monday n tuesday cant wait to enjoy the food and atmosphere there.

so far i have gather these few things to do/visit

- Melaka river cruise (day n night)
- taming sari tower
- midleburg fort
- walk walk at those fort, street during day time.

eat :
- chicken rice - chung wah
- satay celup - capitol @ ong wee kim
- durian cendol @ jonker st
- baba laksa and nyonya laksa @ jonker st

anything else i missed out ? i'm not keen to visit malls ...

Ravenz..OK liao. For more historic places try also:

1) Hang Tuah Mousoleum at Tg keling & his well at Duyong
2) Hang Jebat & Hang Kasturi mousoleum (at & around Jonker st)
3) St John Hill
4) Portuguse settlement to experience the local eurasean community & their unique portuguese language no longer exist in Portugal..

Eat: Can add the sotong Kangkong & kerang satll behind Madam King at Bunga Raya:

any nice seaside hotel 2 recommend?shah's beach resort ok mou?

anybody try the baba house?

i m going this weekend

Hi,

I'm heading down to Malacca tomorrow. Hopefully it won't be too crowded with people.


Is this Sound & Light Show exists?

stimix,

melaka nowadays are jammed-packed with cars even on normal weekends. even me stayed home during weekends, except early morning for breakfast either at toast n toast or nasi lemak joints (tg keling or lereh). even the sotong kangkung near madam king got long queue lines

would be great if any of us could start up v2 and summarize the main item on the first post to help other forummers

hi, the light'n'sound exists around the 90s.. now the area is part of the dataran pahlawan complex, however, the stand is still there.. unfortunately there wont be anymore light'n'sound show not until 2012 if i'm not mistaken.. our local goverment are planning to revamp the show.. completion date not sure yet tho'

if u wanna avoid congestion in malacca.. basically its impossible. haha... even the main road in front of my home area is packed with cars..(which a shortcut can lead to town, thanks to GPS, a lot ppl using that road nowadays).. my advise is. try avoiding peak hour.. hehe .. if possible.. travel on foot as most of the attractions in malacca is concentrated together

hope u enjoy ur stay here

THANKS stimix !

my bf loves to eat kerang and i love sotong kangkong so will definitely go to the place you mention at Bunga Raya hope weekday its not so pack tho esp after the holiday season.

Is there any food that is nice and cheap at the Portuguese settlement ? might as well try their food since we are going there ya.

Ravenz,

I recommend Joan's (stall no 2) at the Portuguese Settlement, the devil curry and the portuguese baked fish was really good!

While for Baba Nyonya food you can check out Cottage Spices

Ah man thinking about the food there is making me hungry
