Malacca Feb 2010

Having heard so much about Malacca's Chicken Rice Ball, the first thing i wanted to try was the chicken rice ball.  It so happened that one of the branch was near the hotel that i stayed, so made a beeline for it.

But it was disappointing. The rice balls were hard and cold, tasteless.  The roasted chicken was normal, not crispy at all.. :-(  sigh so much for the famous chicken rice balls...

On the way back from Mal-SIN, the bus had a punctured tyre, and had to make a stop to repair the tyre.  I was happy as I needed the toilet quite urgently, so I considered a punctured tyre a blessing! Haha (Usually no rest stop for journey from MAL-SIN)

Malacca is so much smaller than i thought.  I imagined the Portugese settlement to be bigger, but in reality, it is really small, of walking distance.  From my hotel to the city centre is only a 15 mins walk..

St Francis Xavier's Church: 

 

Christ Church. 

Built in 1753 by the Dutch to commemorate a century of their rule.

 

Jonker Walk:

I was blessed with a beautiful sunset right after my swim.  Took this at the hotel 9th storey swimming pool.  I love sunrise and sunset, esp sunset, these are the 2 timing that you can look at the sun directly and be amazed at the Creator's creation.
