Melaka trip rant

This past Monday, I drove down to Melaka for a much needed break, thinking I could drown myself in food at all the famous cafes and stalls in town. I haven't been there since I was about 10 during a family trip and it turned out pretty okay. So instead of vacationing in Port Dickson again, it was decided Melaka was a decent option.

I stayed in Hotel Mimosa, the same one I stayed when I was a kid. I still recognize it - it was nestled between shophouses and nearby Jonker Street and the Capitol Satay Celup store. Room was okay, small but tidy enough for my liking.

I reached on a Monday afternoon, and for dinner, I'd walk to Jonker Street and find whatever food I can find there. Except it was closed. Go figure. So I walked around aimlessly with Waze as my guide - and somehow, I arrived at the Satay Celup store at Lorong Bukit Cina. The long queue didn't bother me, I was just contented I stumbled upon a famous place to eat. Even had time to drop by Big Bowl Ice store for dessert - just a few shops down the road.

Breakfast at the hotel on Tuesday morning, well, put it this way, it is a small hotel after all so I didn't expect breakfast like the one at Cyberview Lodge. Anyways, I was stoked to head out to Jonker Street for some goodies. I had the cendol at Jonker 88. I liked it and for the price, I liked it even more =)

Not knowing where else to go, I wandered around the street, then I started to get antsy, so I drove to Mahkota Parade. The highlight of my day was getting my Vincci heels size 4 (Mid Valley only had size 5 and above) and a pretty bracelet. 

Ohh, and I had Nando's for dinner.

Yes, the Nando's chicken chain store. There is one 15 minutes away from my apartment.

I couldn't wait to leave. I could only heave a sigh of relief after I checked out on Wednesday morning. But before I left the town, I thought I'd try the Nedeje mille crepes nearby Mahkota Parade. I like cakes, so why not.

Except it was closed. The company had a teambuilding on the same day.

Wanna know where I had Nedeje mille crepes then? Petaling Jaya's Three Two Square.

Ya.
