Day- trip to Malacca

Malacca is a great place to eat and buy cheap stuff. Driving from Singapore is about 3-4 hrs car ride. You can plan a day tour to Malacca if you wish. In-between you can stop at Pagoh to have breakfast.

A new water theme park Melaka Wonderland Theme Park has just open in May 2010, opp the zoo. The entrance ticket cost abt MYR30 in weekends. They have a facebook group where you can find the photo of the theme park. Big water tunnel if you like. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Melaka-Malaysia/Melaka-Wonderland-Theme-Park-Resort/300814619074?ref=nf

Food that you must have there:

1) Nyonya dish - where there is many nyonya restaurant near Jonker Street.

2) Cendol - Jonker 88 sell best cendol and Laksa. The guala Malaka together with the coconut is so much tasty than in Singapore.

3) Nyonya kueh - best is the Baba Charlie just a few minutes ride from Jonker street. Tengerah 72 Jalan Tengkera Pentai 2, 75200. It is located is a small lane. In main road, when you see Walls ice-cream factory and turn in you will find the shop.

Jonker street night market is the palace if you like shopping just like me, this street is a heaven for you. I can get earring for 1 ringgit and the quality are good.

Shoes are pretty cheap in Malaysia.

If you plan to buy grocery in Malaysia you can forget about it. Most of the item are comparable if not more expensive than Singapore in SengSong or NTUC.

Places for sight-seeing:

1) Museum

2) St Paul Church

3) The Baba and Nyonya Heritage
