Malacca Trip - Day 1

Arrive Melaka Sentral at 5pm. The bus station is really big and grand! Adeline came to fetch us. She sent me and FoutLeng to SinTinh's house while WeyFen and MeiLing followed her back to her house.

After a short rest, we went to have dinner. We tried the very famous "satay celup" of Malacca. There were eight of us including Gigi, Adeline, SinTinh, ChuayYan, FoutLeng, WeyFen, MeiLing and me. We have many different dish (fishballs, kangkong, taufu, deep fried wanton, crab stick, etc) to dip into the hot boiling gravy. That is actually very similar to the steamboat we have but the gravy is special made satay sauce. We like it very much!

After that we went to have a walk at the Jonker Walk. That is a very special street with a lot of traditional shop lots. But the shops are closed at night as there will be night market on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. There are stalls selling food, clothes, hand-made souveniers and many other things. I bought some hand-painted wooden bookmarks and memo holder at a stall there.

We also had the chande to watch the performance by the KungFu master Ho Eng Hui. He can pierce coconut with using his finger. His name is in the The World Record-Breaking Capital. His performance is really amazing~!

After that we went to have supper at a very traditional stall in an alley. We have to squat down on a very small stool to eat our food. We had cuttlefish kangkong, "si ham" and "tau bok". The food is so nice!
