I went Malacca! This was my second visit within these 3 months. Was a free and easy trip. The main purpose of visiting there is not for the tourist spots so B and I just walked along the Jonker street and Dataran Pahlawan.
We stayed at The Jiong Guest House at the Jonker area. The last time I visited Jonker street my view got captured by this cute neon signboard. So, this time I suggested to stay in this guest house.
The Jiong House is identified with its light blue facade and wall with the only signboard displaying the words "The Jiong House". It would be a good idea to bring along the mosquito repellent. Overall, it was a comfy place to stay just like you're staying in your own house. We can't expect too much as you're paying low price to get a room.
Some artworks you can found at here.

Aluminium tins really can do a great deco! |
Sitting on a wooden horse is a childhood memory.

What creature is this? An owl?! Suddenly feel like wanna paint this in my room.

We passed by the stadhuy and some museums on the way walking to Dataran Pahlawan. So must took pictures to prove that we were in Malacca. Ha Ha!
Our first stop was Nadeje patisserie cafe @ Dataran Pahlawan.
"The Origin of Mille Crepe"
I was so glad that the day when we visited was not as crowded as last time I came. We managed to get a table inside the cafe but I must said the tables were too closed with others. What you had talked could be listened by the people who sit next table to you. We ordered
Tiramisu and strawberry slices
Ebi Curry Fettuccine
( I must said the curry sauce was so creamy could be a great combination with bowl of rice. )
Japon ( Green tea with milk? )
Then, we went shopping in the mall. Oh My Dear God, cheap and nice stuffs were here and there!
Okay, now angel VS devil.
Angel says: Control! Don't buy! You don't need that. Save up your money!
Devil says: Babe, go for it! Is darn cheap okay! You can't find those thingy again if you don't buy now! *evil grins*
"Ting Ting Ting" at last, angel won!
By the way, I actually wished that I can own the whole mall.
I liked the box! But don't know what to keep inside if I bought that....
Soooo many soft toys were waiting there to go back home with their owner.
After shopping, we went backed to the Jonker Street. We get the Mehndi tattoo. I like tatoo but the pain of inserting pigment into the skin could kill me. So, a Mehhdi tattoo is enough for me.
We decided to have dinner at Calanthe Art Cafe. The building, furniture and decorations are in vintage style. You can find handmade art pieces and antiques at there
. For those who are coffee lover, is a must visit place. The cafe sells not just coffee but the 13 states coffee. They have different coffee powder to indicate the different states in Malaysia. We were not so fancy with the coffee. I might try it in the next visit.
So, we just ordered a set of dinner. We thought of sharing the dinner set then we could had food hunting while walking down the street. But, we ended up try none of the food along the street. Because we were too fulled after the dinner! Urghh..... Shouldn't ordered the dinner set. Is a mistake! ( Not that the food not nice, just that the portion was too big for us )
Took pictures while waiting the food.
Busy showing off the new tattoos.
The dinner came with the appetizer: Mushroom soup. One of my fav.
The main dish: Grill salmon with mashed potato
Dessert at the end: Strawberry custard
Again! Time for shopping. Managed to get a passport cover, cute earrings and souvenirs.
Then, we came across this! There was temporary stage built for the music festival. Performers came from Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Iran. Handsomes and pretties on the stage. The speakers were built up, the bass were superb loud. They gonna rock em' up! The environment was getting hotter and hotter as night falls.
That night ended with music
