Question about Malacca

[pohu]

You didn't check operating days and hours?

Google maps indicated business hours might be different due to ongoing Ramadan

Oh yea. If not for Ramadan, usually I just check before hand when planning.

anyone tried this dumpling and yong tiao before in Melaka?

not the usual touristy recommendation.





need to drive to this 2 location since its not in the usual jonker area.

 

[beanstalk6]

Both are within walking distance from Jonker Street. Driving will in fact be problematic with the parking.

Drove in last Sunday morning 10am~ smooth traffic at woodlands but the jam from CIQ tail back all the way to Woodlands checkpoint, took 50min to drove over the causeway~

Reached melaka at 3pm+, stayed at Hatten hotel for one night before heading to Genting~ many Singapore cars in the hotel carpark, probably half of it~

Ps. park at level 3 if you want convenient cos there's 6 lifts serving while level 4 only two lifts serving~ level 4 has 4 EV charging lots~

Gpgt:

Hatten hotel

Mahkota Parade

Pahlawan Megamall

The right wing of the mall linked to Hatten hotel is mostly emptied, the lower ground level connected to left wing of the mall has more shops opened~

Went to Samfu restaurant to eat Nyonya food at Kingston hotel

Looks good indeed!

Yes, I've read those bad reviews too. But sometimes when bad reviews happen, we'd be surprised what some good ones get.

When I get good experience, I won't bother to do a review unless it's an exceptionally praise-worthy one. So...

I guess it's better to have no expectation than to have high expectation and get disappointed later~

anyone been to the Encore Melaka performance before? is it worth going considering that the tickets are expensive?

The location is out of the way. It is one of the places you actually see the Straits of Malacca in town. I have not seen the show because it is expensive and I do not think I want to watch a Chinese troupe masquerading as locals in a script that is supposedly relating the story of Malacca.

I think it's worth the ticket, the centre of the stage is round and can turn. Really a good experience.
I grab there and return, no issue.
Ticket can check Klook price, should be lower.

Quite a mess to read. If I understand you correctly, the road is not affected at 2pm so you will not have trouble.

Haha sorry bro for the mess and thank you for the info.

Just worry road closure and unable to load luggage onto the car in front of the hotel along Jalan Laskamana.

Of course you can. Some coaches drop you in the middle of town. You can avoid Grab totally since within town all the sights are within walking distance.
