Journey continued all the way to Ayer Keroh rest area and stop for toilet breakies and lepak-ed for a while because it was way too early to reach Melaka.
Reached Ayer Keroh at about 0800. Undecided to go Melaka town for breakfast or not as someone wants to go for Zoo Melaka in Ayer Keroh which opens at 9am. Then, someone pointed to McD across the road, and off we went to McD. Everyone trying not to eat so much for we are to have brunch in town.
0900 hour, went across the road to the Zoo. Then someone decided to go Night Zoo. So off we went to Mini Malaysia. Being ripped off like what Andy said. But it serves as a good exercise for us to burn off the McD meal. Went to Bee farm as well and unlimited free testing of a variety of honey- including one called bee venom.
Reached Melaka town at 1100 hour. Headed straight towards Chung Wah shop for the infamous Chicken Rice Balls. Yummy....
Then it's time for some sight seeing. Though I have been to Melaka countless times, it was still an experience to walk around the church, St Paul and A Famosa. And in the process, took a lot of photos.
It was hot and definitely all of us are waiting to have Nyonya Cendol. Delicious......
Then, it was time to locate our hotel. At first, we wanted to check out the place Camilla mentioned in Melaka Raya. After a few turns here and there, it was decided that the place has closed down. So off we went to Straits Meridien.....Guess everyone was tired and all was sound asleep the moment we check in except for me and Chai Yee. Had some quiet time to read the novel I brought along.
At 1900 we were all seated at the Portugese Settlement. The last time I have been here was like 10 years ago. The place looks so different and the food suckssss.....So many stalls and competition. Only thing that is so memorable is the Mango Juice and dining at the seaside. Not any typical mango juice, this stall sells sour mango juice. It was so delicious and can't find in KL.
Next destination, Night Zoo. Well, let's just say that we are like young children, making a hell lots of noise, disturbing the animals and playing 'Let's spot the animals'. It was fun. After about 2 hours of fun, we headed towards Jonker street again. Hang out at Geographer Bar and met a quite unique man. Young at heart although he is oredi 60 years old (as he claimed). The environment is nice- live band, beers, 'Ah Kuas' doing some hot dancing. It was almost 1 am when we left for Satay Celup.
The night ended at 3 am for most of us. The rest who stayed up, read about what they did in Su's blog. And this is the result the next morning.
The next day, it was food and more food. Cendol Durian at Tan Kim Hock and Nyonya Laksa.
It was a good trip. Good food and good friends. Really enjoyed ourselves. I guess our annual trips will be Melaka, Genting and Penang, right? Can't wait for our next destination.....
