Basically the 2 malls that are more easily accessible and have more shops open. Only when I can be bothered, I'd Grab to AEON as well.Every time I go there, I only go to these 2 malls.
Exactly! Why go to Melaka if what you want is just nice shopping malls?malacca is not a place for shopping malls~ can still go but dun expect something like JB standard~
Last time when still going in alone to Melaka with my wife, we will stop by the Aeon that was on the way towards the toll when leaving Melaka.Basically the 2 malls that are more easily accessible and have more shops open. Only when I can be bothered, I'd Grab to AEON as well.

These AEON malls are more or less similar to each other, just a matter of different locations.Last time when still going in alone to Melaka with my wife, we will stop by the Aeon that was on the way towards the toll when leaving Melaka.
Since a few years before we stopped doing that coz nothing much at that Aeon.
Actually, nothing much at Makhota Parade and Pahlawan too. My wife likes the Roti Mum at Pahlawan, and I go to Parkson at Makhota to buy my stuff. Other times we just go around looking for food to eat.
There was a Tesco within walking distance of that AEON in Melaka, went there once out of my handful of AEON trips, just to look-see. Maybe became Lotuss already
I visit those malls, I think I only brought polo shirt from Parkson (on sales). Really nothing much to buy. For shopping, still prefer JB or ThailandThese AEON malls are more or less similar to each other, just a matter of different locations.
Ya, malls in Melaka are more for getting out of the hot weather (or rain, sometimes), cari makan, and buy for the sake of buying. More like window shopping, browse around to see if there are things to buy. At times lazy to pack extra clothes and toiletries, so only buy when I got there.
I've yet to visit Melaka post-C, but back then tend to under-pack and buy 3-for-RM50 t-shirts to use from Brands.I visit those malls, I think I only brought polo shirt from Parkson (on sales). Really nothing much to buy. For shopping, still prefer JB or Thailand
Dataran Pahlawan also has a "sub-basement" area selling local snacks and stuff, and we always make it a point to visit a stall where we've come to know the friendly sales assistant there over the years. Gula melaka, belancan, keropok, would normally buy from there. The Guardian Pharmacy in Mahkota Parade had a very friendly Indian lady pharmacist so we headed there whenever we need anything from behind the counter. Also visited Watsons for toiletries coz we never bothered to pack any.Yea agree, I also went during pre-covid in Feb 2020. Mainly is to go to tourist spot and foods.I've yet to visit Melaka post-C, but back then tend to under-pack and buy 3-for-RM50 t-shirts to use from Brands.
Melaka visits are just to roam the streets and popping into the malls now and then, enjoy the hotels (Casa del Rio and DoubleTree @hilton) lazing around. So shopping is just out of convenience, secondary.
Very difficult to go hungry or even find extra space in the tummy, while in Melaka
I've bought the best pineapple tarts I've eaten at Jonker, if you like the buttery ones.
They used to have a free shuttle bus service from outside the mall next to DoubleTree to Hatten and beyond. Not sure about now.
Penang better, malacca very small and limited attractions.
Melaka won't be that small if you're willing (and interested) in venturing beyond tourist attractions.
