Go eat lah...

got Dim Sum, Chicken Rice ball, and cheap seafood restaurant...

Other than that there is a new shopping area near the padang or something .....

[Albeniz]

Yes, I like the chicken rice ball.

But the town is quite sleepy. Even traffic is slow there, unlike KL.

i drove up with wifey last year to Melaka. Intended to stay for 3D2N... it was so boring that we checked out on the second day morning and drove up to KL.

 

Anyway, where r u staying?

 

I stayed at Hotel Puri... very nice heritage boutique hotel. Has a spa as well. It is only 1 street away from Jonker St.

 

I like the hotel... just too bad Melaka is too boring.

Agree...melaka is a food place...go there to eat, enjoy the slow pace and relax. For excitement go to KL or Bangkok.

Personally I find Malacca boring, only can makan good food. Would rather drive to KL for more activities.

The puri hotel looks good... But I already booked the legacy....

 

Seems most bro here mentioned that the thing to do is just eating.....

 

BTW, anyone been to Gadek Spring or something ??? Me thinking of doing to see there.

[Elepoo]

No excitment for family man like me..

 

Just bringing my 2 young kids + wifz for a weekend getaway.....since being to Malacca before, will just want to try out new places in Malacca instead of the usual places.

i know of one chicken rice ball place behind hotel renaissiance. not bad.

 

from this restaurant, you can see and walk over to a shop loaded with local malacca snacks and products.

 

another food to try is the lok-lok, ala steamboat style with satay peanut gravy. sedap!

[Linus]

i know they have a karting track somewhere near mahkota apts location. not sure it is suitable for you and family.

 

do note that on weekends, malacca town is normally full of sg cars... [laugh]
