Enjoying the holidays??

So, two days ago which is on Thursday, I went to Malacca for a day trip with my family. We just went there for sightseeing cuz the last time we were there was like a DECADE ago. Malacca has definitely changed a lot. But the main reason we went there is to enjoy and indulge in the WONDERFUL foods. hehehe.  So our first stop in Malacca is the famous Jonker street, but they call it Jonker Walk. Whatever.

I don’t know whether if its true, but it seems like Malacca is famous for pineapple tarts. So, we stop by at a shop to buy some.

Apparently, this is the largest pineapple tart in Malaysia. You can see it wrote there “Awarded M’sia Book of Records in 2004”. They make a new one every six months and also added all kinds of preservatives to maintain it.

         

My sister posing with the pineapple tart. You can really see how large it is.

Anyway, as we continue our journey in Jonker Street, an accessory shop caught my attention and wat else will we do, Shop!

Most of the stuff there are like 3 for RM 10, so I guess its pretty cheap.

Then, we went into another shop which like kinda sell all kinds of stuff.

Yong Chun Association. Looks more like a temple to me.

In the evening, we decide to see the whole of Melaka in this………

Yup. The Menara Taming Sari. Some ppl may not know about this tower cuz it was just build a year ago so its pretty new. Once you’re inside the tower, that circle cubicle thing will just shoot up and rotate slowly up there. Its quite fun.

Pictures taken from the tower :
