Sunway Lagoon & Malacca - 7th - 9th August

The 2nd day we had our breakfast at the newly foodcourt which I mention eariler. Very crowded, quite a spread but the worse about it was the food was not hot at all! Can you imagine having porridge that is not hot but luke warm? Food ran out fast but they don't replenish on time? We head back to our room to pack up after having a bad breakfast! Confused

After we checked out, our nightmare started! This is the ever 1st time such things happen on me! I actually forgotten about my baby boy 'smelly' blanket! Is was a white swaddle and I could have left it on the bed! And we are already on the road to Malacca so I called up the hotel to try my luck! Some of the staff are just super unfriendly. They returned my call and said they couldn't find it. And later on I received another call saying our PASSPORT was left in the SAFE!!! ShockedCan you imagine you have drove an hour and now you got to make a u-turn back? My hub was so mad, it was my careless mistake Blow nose He has been driving since yesterday and did not get any proper rest yet, my poor hub, I'm deeply sorry. So we went back to the hotel, picked up our passport and had lunch there. Hub was looking forward to have lunch in Malacca but was ruin by me! We tried our luck again, hoping to get the baby blanket. Thankfully we met a nicer staff who helped us to get back my boy smelly! I double and triple checked and don't missed out anything again before we go off.

It started to jam and we reach Malacca at 5pm! I ruin this trip, feeling very horrible! We checked into Equatorial Hotel and this time round I booked directly from their website instead of going thru the 3rd party. I got a small gift (hotel slipper Disturbed) as a returned guest for the 3rd time but actually it was more. But I guess it was not capture if I don't booked directly with them. And there is a welcome note on their TV screen when I entered the room. Best of all, after I submit the survey after my stay mentioning about the thin pillow, they reply and said that they have take note and will give me a firmer pillow for my next stay. How nice! I feel their room are much more comfortable and at ease comparing to Sunway resort. Not because they given me some nice stuff la and I have to review it nicely.

Malacca is a 'hot spot' for most Singaporean since they are just 2 hour drive. Nice locally food, few shopping to go too and historical places to visit. 2d 1n will be good for here, usually the people will come over the weekends.
Our lunch at Sunway, Canton-I







Cute & expensive Piggy bun!



Our room at Equatorial!

The 'extra' bed, that the reason why I booked this hotel

The welcome note!

For dinner we went to Cottage Spice again since Restaurant Makko is fully booked. Cottage Spice is walked in they don't take in reservation, please try to go before 6pm! 

Chap Chye - Kids friendly!

Steamed lady finger - My favorite dishes 

Steamed fish - For the kids

I think this is babi pongteh? lol

This seems like Curry Chicken, I also forgotten lol

Total bill came up to $190RM with drinks and rice. Compare to the BBQ at Sunway I suddenly feel it is kinda of expensive. You can find them at: Jalan Merdeka Taman Melaka Raya 75000 Melaka, Tel: +606 283 5040. 

Next we went to Jonker street, seriously starting to loathe coming to this place. Super crowded and people can still happily pushing their stroller here? And we spotted a couple taking their wedding photoshoot in the middle of the crowded and their poor photographer is sweating like mad! Smack head My friend wanted to get some local pastries and hub wanted to get the Aik Cheong coffee which sell cheaper than Singapore if not I will tried avoid squeezing with the mad crowd! FYI, Jonker night market only open on the weekends. Resource from lonely planet: Jonker Street Night Market. And on our way back it started pouring! So everyone at Jonker start running! Malacca was so jam that took us an hour journey back to our hotel which only require 10mins if there is no jam.

Home sweet home the next day!
