Malacca trip 26th - 28th Dec

We went for a 3D 2N to Malacca on boxing day with our extended family (PIL, parents and Kel's auntie). This is the 2nd time we went on a holiday together and this trip like the last one was fun! We choose a hotel (highly recommended by friends who hv been to Malacca *many many times) where eating, shopping and sight seeing were very convenient.

We took off at 8.30am and reached Malacca ard 2pm. Took a quick lunch at the hotel Nonya Restaurant, chkin, rest and we began our first day shopping!

We went ard the hotel area to chkout the malls and familiarise the old folks ard the area before we call it a day. (Since everyone was very tired due to the morning ride).

Day 2 :
Morning was free and easy (read : everyone is free to make plans) but to meet ard 12nn for lunch. So, we chkout the nearby malls, took the kids to ride rickshaw and booked an afternoon duck tour for the family.

Our first good lunch was at BeiZhan where food is GOOD!! at very reasonable price. This place was highly recommended by Kel's colleagues (they even gave him the items to order!!) and after lunch, we went to Makota's Mall for more shopping before meeting at 4pm for our ducktour.

Evening time was spent strolling at Jonker Street where the street will be closed at 6pm for roadside stalls to be setup. Lots of good local food available + lots of things to get frm clogs to beaded shoes (hand-made) + lots of tidbits (the famous San Su Gong) and souvenirs to get.

Dinner was at Jonker Street Teo Soon Loong Teo Chew Restaurant. Thks to Kathlyn and Sarah who passed us the name cards and reminded us to call and make reservations wks before we leave for Malacca. The food is SUPER DELICIOUS! and the place is a very small setting and they do not accept any walk ins customers. Well, this marked a very good ending of Day 2. :)

Day 3 :
Kids and kel went to the pool (which i purposely avoided.. since my last fall!!) Went shopping with mum since dad is too tired (hehehehe... away frm his bed..he didnt really sleep too well). Got alot of bargains mainly for the kids. As for the adults, there aint too many stuff suitable for mum and me. We chkout at 1.30pm, hv lunch and waited back at the hotel for our rtn coach to Singapore.

I am glad that the old folks enjoyed the trip since they are more adventurous than us while the kids can sit through the coach ride without much hassle. Touring with olds and youngs prove to be a challenge for us..esp kel who hv to act like a mini tour guide but then, what is more important is all of them enjoyed. The kids hv their grandparents for company and the old folks hv us (the younger ones) to bring them ard. I am still in the midst of loading all the pics in FB, do chk it out!
