Our "fast fast" trip to Melaka

5-6th July 2008.

The Teohs, the Chuas and the Lims made time for a weekend trip to Melaka. It was meant to get together and to relive some aspects of our very first trip to Melaka quite a few years back. We managed to get a good rate at Hotel Equatorial (thanks big Ben!) and we all had Club Rooms. The hotel was nice and the rooms were spacious! We started off Saturday morning from the Teoh's at Carmen Terrace. We passed the Tuas checkpoint without much fuss. We managed to get to our first "makan" place. Gosh! The place was renovated, but there were so many flies that it kind of put us off! But we managed to find another coffee joint to eat!

Our breakfast stop



We pushed on from here to get to Melaka at about 1pm. As we passed by Makko, the Peranakan restaurant, we decided to have lunch there before checking in. We had the "chin cha loke omelette" which was a must have, asam fish amongst other dishes.

We checked in Hotel Equatorial immediately after lunch and headed straight for the swimming pool!

After the poolside action, and after a quick shower, we went opposite for maggie goreng, chennai and drinks.
Here is sista Eunice enjoying her kopi.



We were at the yellow shop eating our maggie goreng and kopis/teh tarik. Then we saw the chennais from the blue stall next door. But the lady there told us that she could not serve us because we were at the yellow stall, so guess what we did, we finished up and moved to the blue stall to have the chennai. Gosh! We die die must try the chennai!
