Overall, Malacca was not as wow as i expected in terms of food and shopping. The best moments were definetly the shopping in Jusco Shopping Center with just sooooo much shopping at such low prices and discounts! The best deal was the 4 pairs of i panama flip flops/slippers we got at almost half the price we would have got in Singapore! The food in Jusco was also one of the best so far, like The Chicken Rice Shop which sells many nice dishes but famous for their chicken which was excellent, nothing like Singapore's. The best seafood we ate there was somewhere secluded which our friendly taxi driver brought us. It's called Aunty Fatso seafood restaurant and the crabs were the best. Cheap prices + Yummy seafood = Happiness!
My flu stuck with me throughout the whole 3 days, and i had to even take flu panadol max to prevent it from becoming worse :( Apart from that, thinking it was bad, i had food vomiting on the last day while returning home to Singapore! It all started in the 4 hour straight coach, i ate a Fish o fillet from macs and i had an abdominal pain i never had before. 1 hour into it, i felt sooooo naseous and thank goodness for the stops to the immigration centers, i vomited so much at each stop and all the way home. In total, i vomited for about 20 plus times that day. It was just utterly horrible and terrbily, K caught it too when she reached home. We vomited till we could not even stand. We were just so.... WEAK.
Anyway on to Malacca, well one thing very different was the roads! Just look at the photo below of us walking. It seems like we were happy but we were actually more scared than happy because cars would pass you so near that you could almost 'touch' the cars. We only had a small margin of space to walk (not like how we were walking in the photo, as there were no cars at the moment), which was that tiny weeny space from the right of the yellow line! We had to walk pass a few of such roads to reach our hotel everyday. Had many scary encounters with cars/motorcycles/bicycles! Thank God for roads in Singapore.
Below are some photos we took using the new raybans reflection shades we bought in the hotel and while walking :)
Lastly, this was K and me chilling out at the traditional Peranakan Puri Hotel's seating area.
I would have enjoyed the trip more if i wasn't still having flu, didn't catch food poisoning, shopped more and ate more yummy food! Nonetheless, i had fun. That's all that really matters, isn't it? Might go to Chiang Mai and Shen Zhen next year, till then, i think i'll be staying in Singapore for quite some time, and i'm glad i am :)
Christmas should be a season of giving, not taking. Giving is definetly an understatement. It won't ever be the same anymore, but more meaningful that way.
