Weekend surprise... (Part II)

After Jonker Street that evening, we had "Satay Celup" (Peanut gravy dip). Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of the food we ate as we were too hungry to remember *shy*. Anyway, it's like any other common "luk luk" we can get in other places except for the satay dip they provide us to cook our food instead of plain water/soup.

Next was the "Eye on Malaysia". Anybody who missed the opportunity to take a ride on this ferris wheel like me can always come to Melaka to redeem the chance to ride it.

The price list for Eye on Malaysia (Melaka).
However, adults with MyKad are entitled for a 50% discount

The following morning, we managed to visit the Maritime Museum "Flor De La Mar". The ship is actually a rebuilt ship meant to be a museum. Some pictures ..

We need to remove our shoes/slippers/sandals/heels etc etc upon entering the museum.
Do not fret as plastic bags will be provided. *lol*

Canon!

When we felt hungry, we had lunch at a famous chicken rice stall. We had to queue for about 15-20 minutes just to be seated.

Yummy!! Initially it looks like fish balls

Right after the main meal, comes the dessert. We tried out another stall's Cendol which was not bad.

Even though I didn't go around alot but it's not a bad place to be in with all the nice foods and desserts..yummy yummy! Looking forward to visit other states as well.
