Melaka trip part 1 - Ole Sayang, Jonker Walk night market

The last Sat and Sun, went with colleagues to Melaka for a weekend tour. It was pretty fun, as we have car to move around and a local to bring us around. Know where are the good food place is great.

Here are some of the snapshot.

We park the car near Mahkota Parade and walk past the centre area to Jonker Walk.

This is what we called Pasar Malam. Anything other than this is not really.

We have just got back from Melaka last weekend. We didnt try the chicken rice ball as the queue was just too scary. Now after reading your comment, I felt that it was a good decision not to join in the madness for the overrated chicken rice ball.

By the way, the countdown for traffic lights are common in a few of the major towns of Malaysia, ie KL, Ipoh and Penang to name a few.

It was a one day trip for us and we are planning to visit again for perhaps a 2 night stay. Any hotel to recommend?

Well, sometime, eating can be quite personal. One person say good might not suit the other person. Some would swear the chicken rice ball is good. However, I am not a fan. They use sticky rice to cook the rice ball and after a few times I try, I still don't like it.

Oh, I never seen it in Johor. So quite alien to me.

Hmm... I have been to Melaka a few times but stretch across few years. I stayed twice in the Baba House. It was reasonable priced and with minimum frills. So, it is really up to individual. You might want to look up on a few travel site to decide on this.

Have a nice trip again!
