Historical Malacca

Since our last visit to Malacca, the entire family agreed that we did not get enough of the place and therefor immediately planned for another trip. This time around though, we stayed close to the beach as the kids just can't resist the water.

Everly Resort Hotel Malacca is situated at the coast of Tanjung Kling and takes about 20 mins to get to Malacca town. Overall, its a lovely place for both small and large groups. We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment (both comfy and clean), which comes with a spacious living hall, dining area, 2 bathrooms and kitchen.






After a good night's rest, we started the new day with a hearty breakfast at the coffee house then drove off to town. The late morning sun was quite warm but we ignored the heat and continued walking around the town square visiting the Stadhuys, Clocktower, Fort A Famosa and Jonker Street.

Some photos which was taken at the town square...

The beautiful courtyard of the Stadhuys





Some more photos which was taken at Jonker Street/Chinatown. Getting there is quite easy as it's located across the canal opposite the old church and clocktower.







Excellent place (with air conditioning) to take a break from all that walking. Do try their durian cendol(great for durian lovers) and white coffee. You can also find other goodies/snacks such as candies and biscuits being sold here.

Port Dickson & Malacca

The beginning of a new year is just around the corner, so the trip to Port Dickson & Malacca was what we needed to rejuvenate and refresh ourselves for yet another exciting year ahead. The drive there was smooth with only light traffic and it only took us an hour and a half to get there. Finding the apartment wasn't too difficult either as we had stayed there during one of our previous trips to PD.

Simply delicious and very affordable seafood


After spending 2 nights in PD, we drove south to Malacca. Famous for not only it's rich history and it's Peranankan culture, Malacca is also known for it's popular night market along Jonker Street in chinatown and it's delicious food.
