Trip to Melaka 2021

We went to Melaka on 18 Dec, after dropped off K.Sue at Melawati area we made a move heading south. It was the same day start banjir in KL-Selangor. It was raining for few days non-stop before and it was still raining in Melaka too. Sampai Melaka dah lunch time so we singgah Asam Pedas Pak Man first but unfortunately kene queue. So we went to Mohd Chan by the garden, but kat parking lot ada satu family yang baru kluar from there cakap it's closed. So we went straight to hotel jelah and carik nearby kedai makan. Potong mood nak carik kedai2 viral lain dah because tak sure how far, lapar and tengah peak lunch time.

We parked the car at the hotel designated parking lot. Jeeb was worried about the security and the small space. But put that aside, we need to feed our stomach first. Checked for few cafes yang walking distance dekat, avoid crowded cafes and queues, playing tourist a bit, saw some wall art which i promised myself to lalu situ again but failed because dah tak jumpe lepas tuh, lol!

We singgah Calanthe Art Cafe but it was full at that time. Since Heli recommended this cafe and it's nearby so we made sure to return the next day.

Dah pusing2 satu round, we setttled down at Waronk. Concept kedai cam food court can order various food from different stalls. Their kedai playlist semua lagu rock kapak hahaha layan gak sambil makan. We chose to sit outside overlooking the river. Qeeb had nasi lemak since it's his favourite now. We had ikan bakar, sotong goreng tepung, kangkung belacan, dim sum (alas perot just in case). Luper pulak nak order asam pedas. Semua sedap alhamdulillah pueh hati. By the time we made a move heading towards the hotel which just across the river, there was a downpour so we were stranded under the bridge for a while. The kids were just in a good mood so layan lah macam2 questions and whys while waiting for the rain to reda

Time nak check in to 1825 ada issue at first because apparently i did not confirmed the booking with my credit card so the room was automatically released. Confused jugak with the Agoda terms, if tak cancel on certain date my card will be charged. But there's another term pulak yang i have to pay directly at the hotel so that one yang supersede kot. They offered me room without window but i'm not interested, then they offered the room i booked with original price. But i rather carik another hotel with that rate plus Jeeb pon tak berapa keen with the parking space. Finally they were kind enough to offer me the river suite room with the rate i got through Agoda. Alhamdulillah, we just go for it then.

Simple and nice xmas decor

The interior - spacious room and bathroom, simple interior, has bath tub, no fridge. We asked for additional single bed and still can enjoy the space.

After checked in, turun jap amik luggages dalam keta. I was excited when i saw the coffee sign and discovered that this famous cafe is just next door of the hotel we are staying. Time nak amik bags tuh we saw this white car sangkut nak masuk the narrow parking because the other car parked ke depan sangat. After few minutes helping them to adjust masuk, it's just impossible because mmg konpem sagat if lalu. Then ada orang hotel datang and he called the other car owner. Tuh yang lagik buat Jeeb risau nak tinggalkan keta kat situ.

But nothing can't be solved with a cup of good coffee and dessert

That night it started drizzling again. We kept ourselves updated with the flood news of what's going on in KL-Sel and frequently checking out the river level here in Melaka.

Even though as much as i wanted to JJCM kedai makan yang best2, but it's best that we keep our plan flexible for our own sanity lol! We keep it simple because the trip is supposed to be chillax, reduce stress level and clear kan minds from the daily routine. So kekdahnya if ada...ada, kalo takde takpe and don't fret just go with the flow. So malam tuh we had dinner at this little cafe called Bridge Cafe. Happening jugak this small alley at night and it looks magical in the light rain. Food pon sedap cuma Jeeb's and mine arrived almost 1 hour later. So start laa hangry balik hahaha adoiyai macam2! Sib baik sedap and we literally slurped the pastas in less than 10mins.
