[To_be_advised]

Hi all bros out there,

 

I am planning a Malacca drive up trip and probably a 3 day 2 night stay with my gf.

Basically a weekend getaway and a get to know and see new things new culture trip.

 

Did some online search and found quite a couple places of attractions as per below.

Anyone feel free to advise me which is a must go place.

 

And yup i know nothing about the food in malacca too and would be happy if some experts can shed some food lights too.

 

Some online places of attractions i came across:

 

Melaka River - Venice of the East

Menara Taming Sari (Taming Sari Tower) - Panoramic Gyro Tower

D Paradise Malacca - Tropical Fruits World, Aboriginal Village

Perigi Hang Tuah - subtitle

St Francis Xavier

food can go to bei zhan. quite famous and probably could see local stars there....met the crew shooting the upcoming peranakan show on ch8.

 

if u there on a friday nite, can go jonker street for the pasar malam..

Thanks bro for the food lights.

 

Sadly I should be heading up only sat morning so probably will have to miss the pasar malam le.

HI,

Jonker Street night market operates on Sat and Sun also. At the end of Jonker Street on these nights they have open air Karaoke performance.

If intend to buy anything there, may want to check the price along the shops in the evening, may be cheaper or at the same price.

HAve been to the D Paradise Fruit Farm, have to prepare to walk and walk.... is quite interesting but may be about forty minutes drive from Malacca town.

 

Have a nice holiday.

Jonker street pasar malam should be open on Saturday night as well.

If u go pasar malam @ Jonker Street, must go Ringo Classic Cafe (Opposite Geographic Cafe). The boss, Ringo, is the singer. I think his gig starts around 9pm. U could walk along Jonker Street & back all d food u like. Walk into his cafe & order 1 bucket of beer (6 bottles). Makan & drink in his cafe.
