Melaka 2023 Day1

The girls had a week of school holiday and off we went to Melaka.  We will 'take off' overseas one of these days now that hubby is better.  For now, local is still fine for us.

First up was lunch at Baba Charlie cafe.  Hubby's petai prawn rice was ok, but I didn't like the noodle texture and raw-tasting beansprouts in the laksa.  The kuih annoyingly runs out here so there isn't much choice unlike their previous other outlet (closed now).  I had been thinking of their onde-onde... next time will just find other places to go.

Hung around a bit until it was time to check in.  We got an apartment this time - way more spacious than our Jonker room on our previous trip.  

Take a photo of our apartment...

We just relaxed until it was time for dinner.  Then off to the pasar malam!  We got a table and had mixed sausages, grilled chicken wings, ginger-garlic lala (good) and fried lobak kou (this wasn't nice) and drinks (not worth it at RM11 each as they were diluted).

We are having a snack-y dinner


I enjoyed walking around the stalls buying various things since I haven't visited a pasar malam for ages.  JE had her heart set on a RM15 inflatable frog.  Oh well guess it could be used as a lantern at the upcoming lantern festival.

Yes I need a frog

Went back happily with various food items.  And Mr Inflatable frog.

  1. The frog looks cute. Hope JE can have fun playing with it for a long long time. Very good that you make the extra effort to take the whole family on local holidays. Nowadays I can only manage to go walk walk shopping malls as holidays 🤣😂 lol
