24 hours in Malacca

Along Tun Tan Cheng Lock, a house owner had creatively turned water pipes into a decorative planter box.  I suspect he pours water at the top and it flows through the pipes.  He plants hydro-vegetables.

We headed straight for Jonker Street and saw the beautifully restored shop houses. A very good job I must say.

We then walked along Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock and ate at Restaurant 1511 - A Nyonya Restaurant.  Food was great, service so-so but expected since its a family run place. Try the Top Hats and the popiah!


The courtyard is so rustic, its really worth taking pictures.
There is also accomodation but it was full and so it would be smart to book ahead online.

On the HOT Malacca afternoon calls for Durian Chendol in San Shu Gong which is at the corner of Jonker Street and Tun Tan Cheng Lock.  The packaging is really innovative.

Durian cooked with Gula Melaka makes for an aromatic dessert and no doubt a favourite as seen by the long queues.

At night - satay Chelup.  A pot of Satay sauce in the middle and a buffet of sticks of food (crab sticks, fishball, vegetable, sausage, fish, pork, etc. etc.)  The worry is how many people shared the pot beofre us - eeek!
