Question about Malacca

[apex84]

Is it advisable to book the return tickets at Malacca Sentral? I heard by doing so is much cheaper. How about City Express? Is this coach reliable? I find it quite cheap. From Malacca back to Singapore only cost $15

I went there recently via starmart, I think tickets were about 23 dollars, very comfortable and clean! Probably one of the best I've taken!

Malacca Sentral has lots of ticketing counters and its much cheaper to get return tickets from there. I took 707 back and iirc it only cost about 10sgd. But 707 kinda suck, bus was abit old, kinda like the school buses I used to take but with aircon haha. But there are many other companies there.

I went by the 8:30am Konsortium coach to Sentral and returned from there with Delima. It is essential to buy the return ticket as soon as you can. By the time I reached Sentral on Saturday, some timings were already unavailable. I was forced to take buy the 12noon, earlier than I would have liked.
I stayed at The Explorer this recent weekend. It is a new hotel at Merdeka Square, right next to Mahkota Parade, and a 3min walk from Hero's Square and the Hatten.

If you are coming back on sunday, most likely the ticket will be sold out, likely you will only be able to buy return ticket in the morning. Yup, is cheaper.

The map has its location marked wrongly. It is right opposite the Laho Patisserie, which is marked more or less accurately, in the map. Breakfast is provided.

31/12 - Time to go back sillypore. Had dim sum + bah kuh teh introduce by gf friend's bf.

Did some last min shopping. Wanted to try Ban Lee Siang Satay Celup but not open yet... so drive down to Bei Zhan but missed their lunch hour... so in the end tried a Korean food near Bei Zhan.

Drove back to Sillypore around 3+pm and reached Sillypore ard 720-730pm. Was raining heavily in some parts of the journey and traffic is slower compared to first day but still smooth although got more cars on the road.

Overall experience? GOOD! I will do another road trip to Melaka again.

Hey, I'm going to Malacca end of this mth.. Could you please tell me where is this dim sum at Malacca.. Thank u.
