malacca

Went on an impromptu day trip to Melacca to surprise a friend was turning 21. Plan was a little failed coz we did not take into considerations that he would go out with his mom, so in the end we waited outside his house for quite some time, but at least he was surprised, no surprise plan always goes according to plan.

It was a long time since i last went to Melacca, it has been years, and going back there was certainly exciting. I liked the place, maybe coz it's different than the skyscrapers i see everyday or maybe it's the architecture of the buildings, or maybe it was coz i'm in a holiday mood lol so our first stop after picking up the birthday boy was to head to Jonker Street. The sun in Melacca somehow is hotter dunno why, or maybe it's coz i'm wearing long sleeves and thick jeans, but yea it was a sunny day. We stopped by this place to eat lunch and walk around Jonker Street. After walking under the scorching sun for some time, we walked by this cafe called Modscafe and since we were all feeling to hot and sticky, decided to stop by and have some coffee under the nice cool air-conditioner. The place looks really cozy, my style of ambience. I like those country ambience, very white...calming and cozy. There was this Hippie Volkswagen van inside the cafe as part of their deco, pretty cool. And we just sat there and chit chat. We were forced to order min  item off the menu, and though i dun drink coffee i was forced to buy at least a cheese cake to comply with the T&C =/ thats the only downside of the place.

 After tea, we continued walking and did some window shopping, the clothes there are really cheap, but unfortunately didn't buy anything. The we went to the famous red brick church, and since it was so famous, i decided to take a picture of it with me in it of course! There was a wedding photo shoot which was taking place right next to me also, how romantic... Anyway we stop by for Durian Cendol, which was yummy ^^ and then head off to this fort museum. There got this KTM train, not bad, the old version looks classic and nice, as if like in those WWII times, and yea, took another picture...typical tourist.

Before heading back to KL, we stopped by to eat Satay Celup. All these while i thought satay celup was real satay mana tahu go there only i realised that it was actually lok lok. but it was YUMMY! loved it, the sauce though my friend say was disgusting (coz they recycle and the sauce got many other people's saliva in it and God knows how many nights the sauce has been recycled for) but what you dun know won't kill you, so makan only la. Fantastic la...so far, no stomach ache! It's an accomplishment ;) Finially after filling up our stomachs we headed back to KL and reached around 9pm. We basically just ate and ate and ate while we were there, the mouth non-stop moving hahaha it was an eventful day, came home dead tired, hit the pillow and dosed off right away after washing up.
