They say visiting Melaka is not complete without taking 45
minutes river cruise down the Melaka river, and guess I did not complete my
visit there. My first stop was St Paul’s church. The ruins of St Paul’s church stand on the summit of St
Paul’s hill. It was originally a chapel built by a Portuguese Sea Captain and
later the Dutch renamed it as St Paul church.
Another stop was Jonker Street, a popular spot where you can
find clothes, fashion accessories and definitely souvenirs and the best place to hunt and bargain for antiques. We had the amazing lunch in one shop house restaurant at Jonker Street,
of course the Melaka delectable Nonya cuisine. My favorite is Otak Otak , a
fish cake made with fish fillet, a lot of spices and my favorite coconut milk.
After lunch, we
went for a walk around the river and visited both the Middleburg Bastion and the
maritime museum located along Melaka River. Just as we were exhausted by the heat and the walk, we did cancel our plan to visit Menara Taming Sari to enjoy the panoramic views of Melaka. On our way back to KL, our kind
driver brought us to this shop,
and I have to admit, I can’t stop eating just one vegetable siew pow, lol!!!
