Revisit to Malacca (Day 2)

It was day 2 at Malacca City. We ate buffet breakfast at hotel. The hotel only served chiffon cake, hotdogs, fried rice, fried noodles, vegetables, baked beans, toasted bread, coffee, tea and tasteless orange juice...

After breakfast, we walked to the A Famosa from our hotel for 15 minute. It was very hot. Luckily we applied sunblock SPF 50. HAHA..

We took some pictures at the St. Paul hill and Church of St. Francis Xavier.

 Enjoying the breathtaking view at the St Paul Hill

A little bit of history about St Paul's Church

"The ruins of St. Paul's church stand at the summit of St. Paul's hill near the remains of A Famosa fortress. The site was originally occupied by the "Chapel of the Annunciation", which was built in 1521 by Duarte Coelho in gratitude to the Virgin Mary for saving his life in the South China sea."

There were many tourists at the A Famosa because it was the school holiday and a public holiday as well.

  The Dutch graveyard

"The Dutch Graveyard is an old cemetery located within the core zone of the Malacca Unesco World Heritage Site. Located at the foot of St Paul's Hill, the cemetery dates back to the last quarter of the 17th century, when burials were carried out between 1670 and 1682."

Captured some pictures here and there before we walked back to hotel for check out.

A very big jackfruit for display at the Pesta Masakan event on the second day. The event will lasts for around 2 weeks in Malacca.

Making cendol using "Gula Melaka"

Traffic police were busy controlling the traffic due to the big crowd and long queue in front of the chicken rice shop..

You have to sacrifice your time and energy for a plate of chicken rice.... Are you willing to do like this for a plate of chicky rice? Hope the people applied sunblock SPF 50 because it was a super hot afternoon!

 After we packed our luggage and check out, we walked to the fountain at The Stadhuys. We waited the town bus to go Malacca Sentral. 50 minutes of waiting...

Finally, the old bus was here! RM1.50 bus ticket to the Malacca Sentral. It was very packed inside. We were like sardines in the bus..

It was a non air conditioned bus which caused my hair like this...

We can view the Eye on Malacca ferris wheel from the bus.

We stopped in front of the biggest Jusco shopping mall at Malacca. We had two bowls of oyster mee suah and xxl crispy chicken at the Shihlin Taiwanese Street Snacks.

The mee suah came in a large portion but the crispy chicken was a bit disappointing because the meat was very thin and we can only ate the flour and chicken skin...

Then, we went to Tesco. Another shopping mall located next to Jaya Jusco. There is a bridge connecting to various locations in front of Tesco shopping mall. We used it to walk to the Malacca Sentral bus station.

Our bus started off from Malacca Sentral at 4pm and reach Bukit Jalil stadium at 6.30pm.. It took us 2 and a half hour to reach KL because we had to change to another bus on the way to the bus station..

Then we took Star Line LRT and Putra Line LRT to Masjid Jamek. We took the Metro bus No.12 to Jaya One. We had our dinner at the new Sushi King at Jaya One.

They are having promotion of Buy 1 Free 1 plate of Sushi. They only charged you for a limited of 5 plates of lowest price of sushi.

We reached home at 9pm sharp. We were very very tired and both of us felt that happy time flies fast.. We miss our time at Malacca..
