Last Day in Malacca (Day 3)

11th August 2019, Sunday

Today is the last day in Malacca and we had to go back to Singapore. We packed our luggage and stuffs, then we checked out the hotel. We also bought a tin of the hotel's hand-made cookies as we were treated to their cookies when we checked in. It was very yummy. After that, we left our luggage in the hotel and headed down to Mahkota Parade. But we did not able to get a grab car and had to get the hotel staff to call for a cab. It was quite expensive to go to the mall from the hotel ($20 ringgits). But we just went ahead cos we wanted to go Nadeje for their millie crepes.

Cookies by Hilton Hotel

When we reached there, the shop was not yet opened but there was already a queue outside the entrance. So we quickly queued for it but i went to KFC to buy small snack while waiting for the shop to open. Once the door was opened, the place was quickly filled up and even the take-away counter was busy. We ordered 2 slices of millie crepee, a pizza and a pasta. The pasta and pizza were quite nice. After we finished the meal, we walked the mall for a short period before we headed to the cab stand. We bought some sesame street tee-shirts from a cartoon shop, the shop really sells a lot of cartoon tee-shirts (very cute). There were many cars on the road and there was only 1 cab waiting at the stand. The driver only know limited English but he was able to understand where we were headed to.

We managed to reach back to the hotel where we just shopped in the adidas outlet again and bought some clothes. After that, we headed up to the hotel restaurant (Makan Kitchen) to have our late lunch. We waited until it was almost time to head downstairs to wait for the coach. There were a couple of coaches from the same company arriving at the hotel to pick up passengers. Ours came slightly late and we were hitting on the road back to Singapore. It was quite a long journey back and there was massive jam when we were reaching towards Malaysian Customs. The coaches were sounding the horn on the cars and the coach guide explained to us that the coaches drivers were actually doing that to chase the cars off the bus lane. Despite the jam, we didn't have to wait for too long to reach Malaysian Customs. We reached back the drop-off place in Singapore around 10 plus. After which, we took grab to go back home.

Late Lunch

P.S: I was lucky to get a special mama packet in one of the mama noodles snack i bought back but i don't know who had eaten up the snack.... ^_^

Malacca, Malaysia Trip (Day 1)

9th August 2019, Friday

Today, i am travelling with my friend to Malacca over the weekend for a short getaway. But of course, it is Singapore's Independence Day too and we ended up in the customs for almost 3/4 of the day. We arrived in Malacca very late afternoon (around 5 pm). The coach (Luxury Coach) we took was full with many Singaporeans travelling to Malacca for a short getaway. There were a group of uncles and aunties sitting at the back of the bus and were so high. The coach also had to drop the passengers at different hotels points and ours was the last stop. We booked our hotel at Double Hill by Hilton and it was quite far away from Jonker's Street. There was an empty mall named Elements Mall beside the hotel.

Pit Stop

Once we reached the hotel, we checked in and went up to our hotel room. The room was very big and spacious. After settling in, we went down to the mall to have a look. One of the shops was having 1-for-1 promotion, selling jackets, bags, caps. I bought two slight bags from the shops. After that, we took the hotel's shuttle bus to Jonker's Street for dinner. It was a 10 mins ride from the hotel.

Hotel Room

As usual, Jonker's Street was packed with people and it was crowded. There was queues everywhere too, so we went to Little Nonya restaurant to have our dinner. We ordered some dishes with rice as we were quite hungry after the long ride. By the time we finished our dinner, it was about 8 plus and the last bus back to the hotel was at 8.30 / 9:00 pm. So we just walked for a short while and we went back to the shuttle bus's pickup point. The bus was about to leave, so we ran towards it which we made it in time. When we reached back at the hotel, we just went to the mall and explored the upper levels. There was a cinema in the higher level, other than that, there was nothing... ^_^! After that, we just went back to the hotel and rested for the day.
