FourtyOne

A rainy Saturday afternoon in Melaka :)
Nyonya food, anyone?



Fourty









After that hefty Nyonya food lunch, it was chendol time!
Am not a big fan of chendol but "100% Gula Melaka" did it for me!


Authentic Gula Melaka in a chedol that only cost RM2.60! Beat that!


A good reminder for bitter ungrateful (no, seriously... how dya you be grateful to people who hurt you? c'mon, man... am only human! ;p) people

ThirtyNine



You can never visit Melaka without checking out Jonker Walk.
And although I was born in Melaka, I have never been to the Jonker Walk night bazaar until last weekend.
And it was AWESOME!!!

The colors, the people... the happenings there... I had a lot of fun taking gazillion of photos and here are some of 'em! :)
Enjoy!


This was the 1st thing I saw when I entered Jonker Walk Night Bazaar area.
This Mat Salleh (probably already a PR!) was showing off his pet iguana! Cool, huh!


Don't understand why people still want to have tatoos when it's painful?


This makcik Fresh Ondeh photo has to be my favourite from my Jonker Walk Bazaar series! :)












Was SO tempted to try one but I've had my fair share of food poisoning due tap water, so I passed! ;p















Dinner was Ikan Bakar Umbai then the jalan-jalan at Jonker Walk
That was a really good night-out :)

ThirtyEight


Was in Melaka last weekend for Abang Eddie's wedding reception in Muar


Made use of the Originalo Charming Retreats Voucher - thanks to TZ & AM :)


Didn't know where Majestic Hotel was until I had to look for it
The building is nice but it isn't the best location to be in - especially when it is right next door to a hospital! :s


The bar will greet you as you enter the main lobby - I really like the bar setting, very "old" type of bar. Don't know how else to describe it *grin*



Which other hotel has these old-school snacks for their guests to enjoy?
Another jar had 'asam boi' (at least I think that is what it is called ;p)



The room, in a glance, looked very nice
But there are some "FAILED!" points i.e.:
1. No kiblat sign - yes, I have checked all drawers & there wasn't any on the ceiling, either
2. No full length mirror
3. No luggage stand! - where do they expect us to put our luggage to unload, then? On the bath tub?



Kampung Morten is the direct view from Majestic Hotel main entrance
Honestly, as beautiful a kampung it is, I have never been inside Kampung Morten! :(
Sad, Jett, sad...



This used to be Federal cinema
it was the 1st cinema I went to with my father to catch out 1st movie together.
& it was Jurassic Park! :)

The place is now probably an abandoned building


As I was making way to Jonker Walk, I caught Van Persie buying number from 4D! ;p ;p
Guess, ARSEnal is really in trouble, huh! ;p
