Travel: Melaka Day 1

Dear All,

Welcome back to a new edition of Travel and today ME & Kimmy will be bringing you over to Melaka for a holiday and in the same time discover some nice place of interest and food that was originally from Melaka. We started our journey at about 8.30am in the morning after having our breakfast. We then reached Ayer Keroh via the North South Expressway and then we visited Zoo Melaka as our first destination as at 10.45am. Overall, Zoo Melaka is not so impressive after all and there's less variety of animals can be found in that zoo. I found out that there are too many same species of animals on the same zoo. Entrance fees is RM7 per person for Adults and RM5 for Children. By judging by its price, I can see that we would expect the quality of the zoo as well. I would preferred Zoo Negara compared to Zoo Melaka after all. Not recommended to go for couples but still find quite educational for kids. ZOO RATING: 3/5

Then we proceed to have our lunch at around 1.30pm at the nearby Mcdonald's before checking in the Hotel after that. We stayed at one of the budget hotels in town and it's called the Hallmark Hotel located at Jalan Munshi Abdullah and it's located inside Melaka Town as well. We stayed at the Premier Executive Room and I've found out that it's spacious and the rooms are big and clean too as well the toilets are superbly clean as well. We love the hotel very much. Also we've find the quality of the food located at their own cafe is great especially during breakfast and we've also went to the cafe at night for supper. HOTEL RATING: 5/5

The we proceed to have our dinner at one of the most oldest and famous satay celup in town. We have visited Ban Lee Siang Satay Celup located at Jalan Ong Kim Wee. We reached the restaurant at around 6.45pm and the crowd had filled the restaurant and some even have to wait to be seated. Luckily we managed to look for a seat where we have to share table with other patrons. Their business had been great and good too. The Satay Celup is spicy and the satay sauce is nice too. We dipped the ingredients into the satay sauce located the the center of the table and the taste was nice too. It was really a mouth watering meal and we simply enjoy it! The ingredients was charged RM0.60 per stick and we have taken around 24 sticks. Basically I think the price is still reasonable if compared to the ones in Kuala Lumpur. SATAY CELUP RATING: 4/5

Then at night before we ended our Day 1 Trip, we went to one of the most famous attractions in Melaka Town at night which is the Jonker Walk or also known as Jonker Street. This street was filled with stalls at night and it's definitely a Malaysian Style Night Market. This night market sells a lot of local made stuffs ranging from its own Melaka Food and Melaka Souvenirs as well. You normally takes about 45 minutes to 1 Hour to walk from the start till the end of the night market and it was a real great atmosphere for all the tourist to Melaka. JONKER WALK RATING: 5/5
