C'est LA viE

Our trip continued today with more fun and challenges on the second day, because we walked a lot!

actually i was totally fine as i think i dint walk as much as compared to those tracks i had been to during tramping/hiking in NZ.

But i was very happy and enjoyed myself along with yimei and bean on the outing day.

We kicked off our outing today with a yummy chicken rice at Jonker Walk (the old town centre):

I never like hainanese chicken because i dont like the texture and the oily taste, but this hainanese chicken recommended by yimei was very smooth and tender.

i love how the rice balls go together with the chicken =D

After we boosted up our energy level with the yummy breakfast, we started explore the herritage township.

of cause creating fun photos  is a must-do activity!

We started our first stop at Christ Church, then continued with walking up the hill for the St.Paul's church, then all the way down to A-famosa..

I guess i was getting high as well, because I started all the weird posing for the photoshoot...hehe

ok here's come a normal one:

Then I met a dinasour!

..........................sorry, i was getting high again~

We continued our way to the newly built Menara Malacca (Menara = tower) by passing the little train exhibition area.

And finally got there:

not this far, is this close:

This is the first gyro tower built in Malaysia, and also my first ride in a gyro tower =)

It cost RM10 per person with the presence of MyKad (FYI: Malaysian identity card).

I actually got a little nervous when the moving platform where we sat lifted up from the ground as I am mildly suffered from acrophobia.

But it was awesome to see how Malacca city was organized, especially for the Jonker walk, it was really impressive!

After seeing from the top, we went on the ground and exploring the Malacca history in a cool ship.

Then we were getting hungry after using up the energy on walking, we went for lunch.....tada!

I had the nyonya asam laksa while yimei and ing bean picked the 'nyonya asam laksa kahwin baba asam laksa' Lol

their names are so funny, which means the nyonya married the baba, i mean the laksa ==

FYI: u can find out the nyonya and baba's story here .

The laksa were very yummy, good in taste and portion size. I was so full! But still got stomach for the yummy durian nyonya cendol, OMG

I ald got excited after hearing the name! I love the gula malacca (malacca cane sugar) pouring on my cendol, the smell was unforgettable, and just boosted up my appetite.

Then of cause, it was a recycle activity: eat-walk-eat-walk and eat again...no, we just finished lunch so we continued walking, exploring the shops at Jonker Walk.

I found so many good stuffs, but too bad i was poor and out of job, i swear i will come back again after i got paid from my future employer.

Before that, let's just keep on walking =.=

Jonker walk actually shared some similarity as Georgetown in Penang, it was surrounded with unique artistic shops, and street art.

We also visited the nyonya and baba museum where the old story about peranakan was told.

too bad i can only show u the entrance bcz photo is prohibited in the museum. However, all the furnitures are well preserved and good maintained.

The nyonya's story is interesting, and the tour guide is a good story teller. I quite enjoyed the 1-hr tour in the beautiful nyonya house.

Then, we went to the temple nearby for a pray.

Bought some nice drinks and an egg-y ice for replenishing our thirst.

It was a good and long day, had dinner at a restaurant where well-known with creamy prawn noodle soup.

It was a fun trip after all, no wonder bean bought this for a good souvenier:

and all of us also got a friendship band to memorize this wonderful trip =D
