After a very very long delay, i finally got the chance to go to Melaka. No maps, just the GPS to show the way. The GPS was a very poweful and helpful travel companion. My another companion though on the other hand, weren’t as powerful but makes the trip fun and worthwhile, namely the gf.

First stop we went get some of Melaka’s famous Chicken Rice Ball. It was ok, nothing great. Cause i don’t know where’s the nice one, so we went to the more.. commercial one. But in front of the shop, there’s just this cardboard poster which makes you just wanna.. you know..

Punch it lol. After that we went to have some Nyonya Popiah (whatever that is) just nearby the Chicken Rice Ball restaurant.

Trust me, it sucked. Then we checked into our pre-booked rooms at Fenix Inn, to our surprise the room was quite spacious and really clean, plus the workers there were really helpful too.

We took a short rest and then went out to explore the historical city. Not far from the hotel was A’ Famosa.

Well, it still looks the same except that the fotress do not face the straits anymore as more and more water bodies are being reclaimed for expansion of the city. It now faces… Melaka’s Megamall lol. I made the below pic clickable for a larger version.

That in the distance, my friend, is the Taming Sari Tower and the Eye On Malaysia. Both of these tourist attraction had a surprise for us which i will let u know later. Anyway, that’s all for Part 1 cause i have to go out now. Will cover the rest in other parts!

Just a sneak peak.
