Travelogue: Melaka

It has been a while since I had a trip with my friends. Despite all the emotional conflicts along our trip - 'cause you know we were going out with girls 🖑, I can say that this trip was a success! There won't be any single moment I don't cherish from Friday afternoon to Sunday night.

On our first day, we didn't do much. We just went out to eat roti terbang and asam pedas claypot for our dinner and had supper at Justberrys Dessert House, Melaka. Then we rested for a long day of tomorrow.

I've been to Melaka a few times with my family. Still, as far as I remember, never once in my memory my dad brings me to the A'famosa fort. So, my friends took me to the A'famosa to satisfy my craving. Although some say that there is nothing inside the A'famosa, it is just a building; Apparently, this was what my dad told me when I asked him to take me to A'famosa. But it wasn't nothing for me. We took many photos and videos there.

Even though some say that Afamosa is just a tiny part of a mere fortress, I believe it does have its own sentimental value, especially to those who love history.

I know this is weird, but I can't help relating this huge ship to Titanic 😹. So welcome to the Maritime Museum of Malacca. That huge ship was said as a replica of a Portuguese vessel named Flor de la Mar. This ship was used to carry loot plundered from Malacca and sank off at the coast of Malacca when it was on its way back to Portugal. After spending one night here, I heard that there is The Pirate Adventure in Malacca. It is also one of the attractions in Malacca. Unfortunately, we didn't get the chance to go there as it is open at 7 pm.

What is Malacca without Pantai Klebang? We went to the Pantai Klebang Beachfront in the evening to watch the sunset and went again the next afternoon (yes, AFTERNOON) to the Pantai Klebang Sand Dunes.

Because she really wants to take this kind of pose so bad. So lemme help

As for the Pantai Klebang Sand Dunes is famous for a perfect photoshoot, be it an amateur or professional. We thought we were crazy enough to have a photoshoot at the sort of; desert in the afternoon, but as soon as we arrived there, lol, there were bunches of people as crazy as we are. We took photos and even shot an 'Ayat-ayat Cinta' music video.

You can watch our first music video on my instagram's highlight. HAHA

Casababa Gallery

Actually, our first intention was to go to the Casababa Museum, but on our way to the museum, we found this gallery and asked what is the difference between the gallery and the museum to the person in charge here. With the price RM 1 less to the museum, we can try on their cloth and pictures are allowed so we decided to come here instead. After 20 minutes of commentary on Casababa, we put the Nyonya Clothes on and took pictures. But for those who want to do documentary videos here, especially for Ethnic and TITAS assignments, I'd love to recommend them here.

As for the food, Malacca has so many foods that go viral on the internet. We tried a lot of restaurants here. Asam Pedas Claypot, Roti Terbang, JustBerry's Dessert House, Roti Canai Kayu Arang Melaka, Roti Canai Kak Ro, Kuih Keria Melaka, Coconut Shake Pantai Klebang and Mee Besen. But if you ask for my recommendation, I'd love to say I love the Mee Besen the most! And actually, I even took pictures of them, but when I searched it back in my gallery, it was nowhere to be found.

So that is the wrap of the trip of me and my bawangs. Will write more in future. Later.
