Malacca Trip

Yeah, just back from the trip this evening from Malacca, a wonderful place and a place of UNESCO ( Unique, Nicety, Eternity, Cool, Open-eyed) . This was a sudden decision from miss Sharon on Saturday .
And we girls, Sharon, Ling Ching, Yi Wei and I went together by bus this morning after having our breakfast at Yun Lai Dim Sum     *yummy yummy*

We met Celine in the bus who was going to Muar to meet her boy 

Chit-chatting non stop in the bus and we took photos in the bus too. 

Reached Muar around 10.00 a.m. something, we took domestic bus to the famous Red House . After that, we were snapping photos around as it was really a beautiful heritage place :) Okay, I can't denied that four of us love to snap photos :p    giggling

But of course, how can we just took photos of the building ? See we left our footprints, oops or I should say group photos here, tadaaa~

the paintings on the wall really nice man!! Thumbs up!!


And we went to our prior destination which was recommended by many bloggers and successfully got a rank of no.4 among 190 restaurants in Malacca, guess what is it ?Click here for more information :)
The Calanthe Art Cafe located at Jonker Street, so you can walk along Jonker Street and you'll find it, it's not difficult to locate the place :) . We were stunned by the creative design and pleasant ambience of the cafe . When we stepped in there, all the designs and murals attracted our attention . The cafe was set to be very retro and exoticism by displaying all the stuffs used in the 1950s .

I'm agree with it cause I'm a coffee-lover 

See! The wall decorated by the shell of "don't know what species" of crab




Super love this picture! The sun light shining through the leaves 



You know that kind of feeling when you saw something really damn nice and you really wanted to capture it by using camera to stay in your mind as part of your memory, well this Calanthe Art Cafe sure does !! We were busy taking photos here and there, and I must mention, the waiters there are really nice . They will come and help you to take photos automatically even though you didn't ask for help :)  And for the menu, there's a wide variety of choices for you, either foods or drinks . I was dazzled by the choices, really, everything looked nice and yummy to me, hahaha! Okay, I admit, I'm a greedy girl :p . Ling Ching ordered home-made laksa which was really delicious, and I recommend this dish . Oh yes. the salad was excellent too compared to the salad sold in Batu Pahat, it was really fresh and crunchy !! Mouth-watering !

As we walked along the street, we saw a stall, stood by and we bought the hanging ornament that made on the spot . You can choose your chinese name, date of birth, and the pattern of the ornament or even the small doll, then the boss will help you to combine them in one ornament . And things I need to mention are
 You can call to them if you want to order more ornaments and they will email to you with pictures and types of ornaments . 
You can come to their stall if your bell or ornaments spoil, the boss will help you to repair with free of charge!
 Some people's Chinese name have complicated word or seldom-used Chinese characters, but no worries because at here you can find a lot of Chinese characters that we seldom used in our name . The boss told us that many people change their Chinese name characters after they seek opinion from Feng Shui shifu, and usually the characters are hard to find, but customers are able to find their name here . So you can see how wide variety of Chinese characters they have . 
Can't believe that we actually stood at the stall for almost one hour by picking the stuffs, hahaha! 
Bio-group members' ornaments
After that, we went to Jusco . They bought sushi and we went to FOS outlet . Ling Ching bought two t-shirts, Sharon bought one shirt and a outdoor bag and Yi Wei bought a school bag . Harvest!!! Then we went back to Batu Pahat at 3.00 p.m. . That's all for today, ciao!
