We are just back from our short vacation to Malaysia. It was a short trip, but a nice refreshing one. We decided to make a road trip to Malaysia, after failing to get our hands on air tickets to Hong Kong, which is sort of a blessing in disguise. Imagine our surprise when we came back from our trip, and we hear news about the flu like virus doing its round in Hong Kong *gulp*
We departed on the 09 March. We decided to beat the crowd, and start our journey really early at 7.00 am. We breezed through Customs and Immigration, and started on a 2 hour drive to Malacca. The journey was uneventful, almost a straight road. We reached Malacca at around 11 am. Its been almost 20 years since I last visited the town. The little town is quaint, and has retained many of its old world charm. There were many small shops selling antiques, like records, peranankan tiles, iron.
Anyway, we made our first stop, we stop by Formosa Restaurant, a coffee shop like eatery for chicken rice. Check out the Rice balls! Look like fishballs. We had a lot more food, but was too hungry to take any more shots.
Anyway, we check into our hotel at Equatorial right after lunch. Nice clean hotel, that fit our needs. We didn't do much there, other than shopping at the large megamalls there.
We also check out this newly opened spa outlet near the hotel " Scent and Senses". Fantastic prices!!! The kids enjoyed the swimming pool, and the adults, we had our fun too.
