Jalan-jalan Negeri Hang Kasuri

When : a week after CNY
Occasion : Hoya-hoya Chenta habis exam

The original plan was to explore Penang.. emm *dalam hati why? why? why?* Tub2 Iman ada Val's Day and CNY celebration on Monday, so plan changed, off to Melaka we went. Started the day having breakfast like a king @ our fav rest near to home.

true Johorean menu : Soto extra pedas, mee rebus, sambal goreng, fried fish for Iman:)

The first stop was The Botanical Garden simply because Chenta want to ride that thing. I was with Iman and he got to ride sesorang. At first Iman went ahhh ohhh wow bestnya, but at the end of the journey (keliling hutan) he was all bored and started to doze off! I had to drive real slow.

Then around lunch time, we headed to Bukit Cina, i was skeptical: Bukit Cina? nak makan apa, kubur ada la? He said, hey got nice cendol and rojak there. Little that i know we will be eating and slurping with the deads!.

kid you not, the rock just inches behind me is actually a tomb!


tak percaya? sebelah amoi tu pon kubur!

in a hot scorching day the cendol and rojak are to die for! kalau Chenta senyum tu, sedap la tu!:)

Later we pusing-pusing cari hotel, ya no booking were made so we kinda redah saja. After few attempts, we managed to get a room @ newly opened Holiday Inn. For the rate we paid (no seaview), the room was so-so, but i love the welcome fruits in the cocktail glass, classy!

and of course WE LOVE the infinity pool facing The Straits of Melacca:)

I have to confess here, I've been to Melacca countless times but the funny thing is never been to Jonker St, so as Chenta! So dgn gagahnya kami meredah Jonker St di malam minggu! Perghh manusia punya ramai!. Opps gambar tiada, tak de bukti tapi seriously ramai. Tak tahan, we decided to layan cruise saja. Boy.. minus the smell, it was 45min of FUN!. eh, sapa yang bayar bill elektrik rumah2 tepi sungai ni? every house had many spotlights it was terang benderang like malam raya only better!.

If you ever feeling2 or wondering how Venice is, be here, at night. Walk along the path-walk built along the river, breath in the lights, the ambiances and just be romantic. Tapi kalau siang I tak guarantee tau.:). Lapar, off to Portuguese Settlement and had a seafood feast.

Some of 'em.

The next morning, we had bf early as Iman will have another round splashing in tho pool. The bf spread was so-so. But ada few young handsome mat salleh waitressing, despite that, the others called them boss. Ropanya manager in training. Berseri lah pagi akak....:)

Iman pon berseri juga, sarapan dgn bayu laut.

After checkout, ke Jonker St again, mencari cendol durian, terpusing-pusing mencari kedai, ternampak kubur Hang Kasturi, hence the tajuk. Akhirnya jumpa ;

cendol kedai no apa yek, 68? 88? entahler..
rasanya guna santan kotak ni....

Iman sempat layan mr moooooo....

Panas betul cuaca hari itu, kepenatan kami gerak balik kajang, dapat panggilan hangit minta kami ke KL ada patin raub menunggu... cargasssssss...
