Everyone in the family... some happy some not so
First up we went to the Portugese settlement. This was nice, sea breezes and seafood. Not crowded since we were there early.

Next morning, Jonker street. The plan was the famous chicken rice ball for lunch. But the queue for the few tables in the shop was long and hardly moving. Gave up and went to a nearby empty shop. Food was overall decent (it probably helped that I had low expectations, heh).

Had fun exploring the various shops in Jonker street - souvenirs, snacks, cendol, biscuits, gula melaka etc etc. Wanted to go for famous cendol.... saw queue and selected an empty shop nearby instead. Cendol was still good. :) The sun was scorching hot though. Went back to rest and headed to the water park in the evening.
Can't wait to go play!

Waiting to EAT!
The next day, planned to lunch at the famous nonya food shop Nancy's. But we gave up at the queue and just went to the empty shop next door. This is like the theme of our holiday! What to do when there are 7 kids aged 1,2,3,4,4,6,8? On the plus side, we had the place to ourselves - could take our time to order and then eat in peace. After lunch it was a little bit more shopping and then back to KL.

It was good spending that much time together. The kids definitely enjoyed themselves. Must arrange another trip one soon!
What a good trip! Having everyone together and all the children can get to know each other and play together.
ReplyDeleteUpdated mine too. Pinched 2 photos from u. hehe.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby's from Malacca! The last time we went back was many years back.. maybe we should go back soon too! I'm missing the chicken rice balls hahaha
ReplyDeleteMun, yeah. The kids (ok and me too!) loved going to bed knowing everyone else was nearby, and waking up knowing everyone will do things together.
ReplyDeleteY, thought I saw you taking lots of photos too?
Ai, oh really? Thought he was Singaporean too heh. Well he might have his fav spots that normal tourists don't know about!
Stacy, I see the theme of going to the popular places ...and then switching to the nearby place which is less crowded. I too don't like waiting with the crowd if it takes too long. That's the problem of going to tourist popular spots.
ReplyDeleteFamily trips are always memorable. So probably the next one would be when the kids are like in Std one..??? My family trips have all been non existent since all my nieces and nephews started schooling.
