The recent long weekend was an opportunity to head out of the island for a short holiday in the neighboring country.
Destination: Malacca.
I've missed the chance to visit the historical state of Malaysia twice. Missing a trip to the UNESCO World Heritage City a third time was not going to happen. Hehe!
Grand ancestral houses. Memories of a colonial past. Cuisine that reflect the local culture and heritage.
The old town was a treat for the eyes and the palate. Walking along the streets of the old part of town, one's eyes are drawn to . And at the end of a long walk, reward yourself with a feast of Nyonya cuisine and traditional desserts such as candol.
An overnight trip turned out to be not enough to explore the city. There was still so much to see.
Would definitely be back.
Highlights from the trip in the next few posts...
