Malacca Trip !

This post is quite overdue :)

On the 3rd of July me and some friends went on a day trip, a more specific term would be food trip :D , to Malacca :)

So all of us gathered at Kel's place before Alex came and picked us all up in his CRV (our transport ).

The trip was about 1 3/4 hours ( could've been shorter if we had paid more attention on getting out of Subang instead of making one wrong turn after another :P ).


Upon arrival, we immediately made our way to a beef noodle restaurant that I was familiar with on account of going there once before with my family on a previous trip there :)



Our awesome driver, who never slept off once, took us to 170 km/h, Malacca, then back in one piece :)



OH yes I forgot to mention ! On our expedition to the state down south ( from Selangor anyway), our 'crew' consisted of 6 people. If you own or have been in a CRV before, you would know that it has a driver's seat, a front passenger seat and back seats comfortably spacious enough for 3 people. Sum it all up and you'll get 5 seats :) So where did our extra crew member seat ?

In the trunk :P


After letting Des out of the trunk, we went into the beef noodles place. GOSH they were sooooo satisfyingly delicious, just as I remembered :D



So after our fulfilling breakfast , we went towards the city centre :)

Now, its not that I'm ranting about Malacca or anything cuz its really a nice place, but they seem to have loads of Mc Ds ! Even before we reached the beef noodles place and while we were driving on the outskirts of the city , we passed 4 or so Mc Ds ? And when we reached the Dataran Palawan / A Famosa area, we saw another 3 more..... They must sure love Mc D :P

Anyway, we parked and hung at a Mc D near A Famosa while waiting for some of us who needed to use the toilets..

Ee Leen :)

So after the short toilet break, we walked towards A Famosa.

All four of us coincidentally wore blue :P

Me and Aunty Kiew :)






Penis cam :P






After A Famosa we walked back to our car to discover that we had been fined for not buying come parking coupon thing that only the locals know about =.= Anyway, the fine was just Rm 5 so it wasn't a big deal. After paying our fine, we parked somewhere near Jonker's street and walked there. Parking in Malacca's city centre is near impossible !! We went to 3 parking bays with no vacant spots until finally arriving at a forth that was quite a distant from Jonker :P

So once there, we lined up, yes queued, out this store that apparently is very famous for their chicken rice balls. Khai Cheng, Leen and the stick went to the store next door that apparently sold very famous cendol, durian cendol to be exact :) And I could definitely taste why they were famous cuz they were absolutely delicious :) Not too sweet and the durian in it didn't over power the entire cendol with a generous amount of other ingredients; red beans, atap chi, green things u find in cendol :P

Eating our cendol while waiting in line at the chicken rice balls place.




Feeling like a pimp ;)


Lunch :)


So after lunch, we were a little full from lunch and beat from walking all day so we went to Dataran Pahlawan to just hang and rest :)


Kel brought his Cluedo and we played while sipping root beer floats at A&W :)





Aunty Kiew and me :)


Walking to the car


We walked back to Jonker's street after that for dinner. Most of the appetizing looking shops were already closing and it wasn't even 7.00pm so we went into the nearest one and just ordered what ever they had left.



And that's all for now :)
Starting Uni in another 3 or so weeks, haih such a mood-killer just thinking about it :(
