We made a day trip to Melaka on Saturday to bring my brother-in-laws to visit the historical city. They came here a few years ago and for us, it was our first trip after 2 years. It was a rather gloomy day with hardly much sun. It drizzled on and off too while we were walking around. I love visiting Melaka because there is so much to see. Love the old buildings and how they are preserved now.
We managed to have Nyonya food for lunch at SamFu Restaurant which is in Chinatown. It was pretty rush for us as they close at 2.30pm and since we had late breakfast at Jonker street, we thought we could hang around there until 3pm. We decided to walk over there from Jonker street before 2pm and it was tiring for my mother-in-law and my mom. Will blog about SamFu Restaurant in my other post later.
My in-laws got to try the durian chendol, the nice ice coffee at sam shu gong, buy pineapple tarts and nyonya dumplings. Too much food in just one day! Too bad we didn’t get to walk around more to explore the sidelanes. I spotted some newly painted shophouses when we were on the River Cruise. Below are some photos taken on that day.

So surprised to see H&M occupying this whole building which is just opposite Hard Rock Cafe. Alas, I didn’t manage to go in as I was not allowed to shop there by missy and hubs. But, I’ll be back!
Spotted some old buildings in Chinatown. Reminds me of Ipoh in the 70’s & 80’s
This is an old barber shop and the barber was having his lunch while waiting for customers. Love to stumble upon scenes like this.
I love this blue door with a bicycle parked outside. I wonder what is inside this shop.
