... want to eat Taiwanese noodles in Melaka.
The current owner, Mr Loke
Kin Ann started his Taiwanese noodles business, right after learning the
recipe from his Taiwanese father in-law. The noodles are freshly made
in the family owned factory and you will be served with a choice of ...

... down off the hill was sadly obscured by trees. There was a nice breeze up there though!

We decided to wait at a nearby Panorama bus stop to catch a ride. But the bloody bus didn't turn up for over an hour. We must have looked a pretty ****** off group as a local woman even came up to us in a car and offered us a lift to our next destination! [Rich: She was, however, the only person nice enough to inform us that the bus didn't ****ing stop there!] However she admitted ...

... is a beautiful historical town. It was first taken as a Portuguese colony in 1511. Then in 1641 the Dutch defeat the Portuguese and took Melaka and used as a port for the Dutch East India Company. There are many landmarks that can be seen still, such as the Stadthuys, or town hall. Which stands on the hill above the main square named, Dutch square. There is even a Dutch café, where you can by ollieballen and croquet sandwiches.   I stayed in the ...

... which we realised were quite expensive. Good incentive to give it a rest. A downpour flushed the city and we remained at the Beatles bar for longer than we wanted but you cant be unhappy with that music going! You can if you work there every night like the guy there though... We left when it left up a little and had some yummy Indian, which enabled us to dry off with fans going. The next day we organised a tour of Melaka, thanks to Paul ...

... Stadthuys, the St. Paul's Church ruins, and a weird museum dedicated to the different cultures around the world obsessions with mutilating themselves in order to look good - Museum Rakyat. We then visited the huge shopping centre to pick up a new sim card for our phone. Our new number now until we head for Hong Kong will be +60146475768 We had dinner in a makeshift chinese restaurant where we just sat down and were brought food (there was no menue and they didn't speak English ...

... I enjoy travelling on the public buses as you see all the locals using them - sweet old people, people smiling and lots of cute babies - definitely more interesting than being stuck in a bus full of tourists! At Temerloh I found out that the next bus to Melaka wasn't until 5pm (it is now 11:30am)! I had the option of getting a bus to KL and another on to Melaka from there, but this seemed a waste of time and money. Instead I checked my rucksack into the left luggage ...

... a row of shophouses of Peranakan architecture. A lot of legend exist and little or big stories are written. It seemed to us like a city with a long row of history on its shoulders. After a bit more than 2 hours, we arrive there and take a taxi to the city center, which costs us 3 Euro, fixed price. We go to the tourist info to pick up the Jerak Warisan Heritage Trail walk, our guide book recommends. By now it is 11h30, time for a beer and a pub ...

Next day we drove to Melaka with her 'cousin brother'. With the whole cultural thing of calling everyone who is a good friend uncle, auntie or cousin or brother i don't know if he is actually related to Farah or not, but i wasn't going to query this, as i was sure i wouldn't understand the answer. Melaka. first impressions:- obviously a port town, its tidy, quaint and obviously ...

... Singapore, it's a far more relaxed pace here. We even got a good night's rest - despite having the excellent attic room at the Prince of Wales, we were still trying to sleep above a pub. In the Sama-Sama guesthouse where we're staying the only danger is the strange owner - she's of Swiss origin, lives here with her husband, smokes like a trooper (with a cough to match in the mornings), has a strange gutteral laugh and an even ...

Melaka is a town which is located in the province of Melaka, and situated on the coast next to the Straight of Melaka. Go figure. We took a two hour bus ride to the old colonial town today to see what all the fuss is about. Many a book and guide say that Melaka is not to be missed, and since we were so close, we took advantage of the opportunity. As it turns out, Melaka is a very nice place. There is very ...
