090502 ~ Day 1 Melaka Trip


It is our 4th holiday trip this year (1st to Penang, the other 2 to Genting.H)...and this time we visited "The Historical City of Melaka"...

We started off our trip with breakfast at a nearby restaurant...with hubs' friend, Mr. Fei, his GF & their kids...(sounds confusing?...they both have kids from previous marriages...so they brought their them along for this trip)

After breakkie, we started our journey...happily...as we enjoy every of our trip to Melaka...eventhough we have been there SO, SO many times... I remember beilou's 1st outstation trip was to Melaka too...

We stayed at Garden City Service Apartments this time... a 2-room apartment with kitchen at RM274.25 a night. The place is nice too bad that their pool is closed for renovation...otherwise this trip could be merrier for the kids.

The 1st day there...we had lunch at Newton Culture Food Village...a eatery ala 'tai pai dong' where you can find almost anything there. We ordered some local famous food...the 40 years old popiah, cuttlefish with kangkong, the local 'dou chye' rojak (fishballs, tauhu, keropok, yam balls). Our friend ordered the 'hakka lui cha' for himself, basil pancake & fried oyster (or-qian)to be shared among us. After lunch, we headed back to the apartment as the kids need to freshen up.

As for dinner, we were thinking of trying satay celup at Mr. Quek's...as we reached there, we found that they serve 'all-you-can-eat' at RM 23.90 per adult and RM 16.00 for kids under 12... so we decided not to eat there. Somewhat pricey...as we thought.

We woudn't miss our stroll at Jonker Walk everytime we are here in Melaka. So we went there and got our car a nice parking spot with the help of a nice young chinese policeman...

As soon as we dropped off...we felt a slight fever on beilou... As the car was parked so nicely...we thought we shall take a 'beca' ride to the nearest clinic to get beilou check...

It takes 10 min for 'Abang beca' to peddal us to the nearest 24-hour clinic. Beilou's temperature reads 38 degree celcius so considered fever but not to high. Beilou at the clinic >

Given some medicine to bring down the temperature and some cough syrup too.

The beca ride cost us RM20 but hubs paid him extra of RM5 and the doc fee was RM33 and that comes up to RM58, just that...

As soon as we'd done with the doc...'Abang beca' sent us back to Jonker Street and we went to get ourselves something to eat. We had simple noodle soup so that I can share it with beilou.. But he hasn't any appetite so he didn't eat at all.
We took a walk then headed back to the apartment and we called that a night. While on our way back, beilou fell asleep in the car and slept through the night til the next morning. Yup, he didn't even had his RM33 medicine.
That's us...by hubs on the camera
