Malacca food hunting with a bad ending

Woosh!
I thought I will missed my September month posting of blog! I must make it a monthly thing now.

OK..September 10th, I decided to venture down south to Malacca with Unicef friends and also to meet up with ex colleague for his wedding. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I skipped his wedding dinner but still try to meet up with him and pass on my best wishes.

So the trip was average. The weather was hot and stuffy yet at night, down pour was quite heavy.
I found amazing good food and good hotel.
But the end of this trip was a nightmare!
Due to the traffic, I drove pretty slowly and until Seremban Highway, the car broke down!
First in my lifetime, I had to push the car from the middle lane of a highway, then waited for almost and hour plus to get my car towed to the nearest rest area. Then, waited for another 2 hours for my car to be towed back town.
What happened next, was just adding salt onto the wound.
My car had to undergo a massive makeover. All parts and labour charges may wind up the bill to 3k-4k!
What a crazy expensive local trip!

Luckily I had Moe with me..Love her lots. She was there to calm me down..
I was almost in tears.
And due to fate, we kidnapped a cat from Seremban back to Moe's house.
The cat found a wonderful master of course.

Despite the crazy unhappy ending of this trip, it was still a good one to get to know friends and great food.

Most probably due to the massive 'attack' by both local and foreign travellers, this small town had turn to a shopping arcade. Also thanks to the government, the whole Jonker Street had changed its outlook and the shops along the street had become more appealing to picky shoppers like me!

Spotted few decors in the shops I visited with really historical taste. It was such a shame some of us only got to value these pieces now. We should have promote our history more to the world out there!

No idea what is this, I believe is a bathroom?

Since I only had a night to stay here, beside the night market walk in Jonker Street, I managed to get to meet my married friend and had some time spent chatting with him. Catching up our lives and stuffs. Marriage turns a boy into a man. He talks chivalry and good to know he had mature in a good way. The wedding pictures were perfect! Cos' of his beautiful wife of course! LOL

And Moe attention was with the cute doggie called Mei Mei

We went back to our hotel and crashed the bed. We didn't wake up until 10am the next day. We head for more food and shopping and some good cheap antiques bought by Moe. The place that we got is called The One Vacation Home. Their website is www.theonevacationhome.com The service from Steven is excellent and we cannot ask more for his generosity to allow us to take our time during our checkout. We managed to enjoy our breakfast with cuppa of good fresh brewed coffee and more shopping before going back to refresh ourselves. Definitely will give Steven a call for my next visit!

I am already missing my Satay Celup and Cendol~~

As we head home through the highway, the traffic piled up and after an hour plus drive, my dumb car broke down. We were miserably stranded in the highway and no one offers to help. Except there is this one Malay guy help us to push the car to the side of the road. While we are waiting for the tow car's help, Malaysia rude drivers were widely seen. We were parked on the emergency lane and to avoid the traffic, those stupid drivers just take this lane and make an emergency break when they saw our car. Moe was freaking furious and kept yelling at the drivers! Sigh..Malaysian drivers, can you please behave?

Due to the traffic, we were stranded on the road for an hour before help came. And due to more traffic, I reached town only at night. What a nightmare.

Sigh..as to date of this post, my car is still left at the workshop waiting for it to get fixed. And quotation of the repair is yet to be received. Pathetic!

I'm so touched and very much appreciate the offer from her Frog Prince to sacrifice himself to ensure Princess Piggie will not have to take public transport to work. He offered his car without second thought...
His birthday is coming near, and though I'm broke, surprise still awaits..To make up to him being a good boyfriend.

That concludes my road trip to Malacca.
Next, a even more interesting one!
Stay tune!
