The boys kept each other company at the front during the long drive up north.
While the girls got comfy behind, enjoying the ride up.
In no time, we reached Malacca!
We usually make a stop over in Malacca on our way up to Sepang. Today, our trip was to Malacca only, hence we had plenty of time to spare. With no plans in mind, we decided to head to the Famosa Chicken Rice Ball Restaurant since we were nearby.
We ordered few dishes to share as we had the intention to eat wherever we went. Thus, we didn't want to risk being to full after our first stop.

Our next stop was to Jonker Street.
Jonker Street – the centre street of Chinatown – was once renowned for its antique shops. However over the years it has turned to clothing and crafts outlets as well as restaurants. The best part of Jonker Street is the night market on Fridays and Saturdays that sells everything from tasty treats to cheap keepsakes.
Since we were there on a weekday, there was really nothing much to see.
Even our favourite Jonker 88 Chendol shop was closed. So we settled for it's neighbour, QQ Ice.
The Chendol pales in comparison with the popular store, however, beggars can't be choosers. It was better than a trip without any Chendol at all.
We continued our walk around Jonker Street to pass time while checking out the interesting items sold by the few shops that remained open.
And since Malacca has a rich local history of ethnic Chinese-Malays called Baba-Nyonya, there were plenty of items relating to this culture being sold by the shops.
What we loved about Jonker Street on a weekday was the lack of crowd, thus giving us plenty of opportunities to take tourist photos.

Even the buildings made good opportunities for photos!
We even took photos along the street since there wasn't any crowd.

We finally ran out of photos to take, and interesting stuff to buy. So we hit the road and headed to Nadeje, Mahkota Parade.
Established since 2006. Nadeje sells the finest handmade Mille Crepe and other special cakes/desserts in Malacca.
Since we were fans of desserts, or to say that the girls LOVE desserts, we ordered 4 pieces of mille crepe cakes.

My favourite was the Choco Banana, and there's no prize for guessing which was the one I ordered.
Since it was our final stop for the day, we decided to take more photos. And the guys tried to intrude into the photos of the girls.
Not a bad photo, but better to get someone to take a decent photo of us.
It was another long journey back to Singapore, but we had fun.
Perhaps we could hang out at eCurve together soon!
