Leftovers of Malacca Trip

The 2nd day, which was also the last day of me and my friends Malacca trip back in April. Wrote the first day blog post back then but the second day four months later wtf!!! Hahaha. Hopefully I can still recall the stuff we did back then.

Hotel breakfast to start our day.
If you ask me, they are not really tasty. lol.

Random photos we took inside the hotel room.
A lot of em. By a lot I really mean A LOT!!! lol.

Jonker Street as our first destination that day after checkout from hotel.

Basically, this group of people like to take photo.
It's been quite some time since I last took photos like how I did back in this Malacca trip.

Gwiyomi? lol
It was still a big hit back then! Jason's phone ringtone was that song which made Kevin damn pissed off, especially when they share room and Jason's phone keep ringing. Hahahaha.

LOLS.

The reason why I didn't blog about the 2nd day of the trip straightaway is because aside from the photos I took with my phone, there are tons of photos in both Elise's and Jason's DSLR, so have to wait them to upload the photos so I can grab and share in the blog post. Didn't realized that procrastinate till 4 months later, lol. Hence you can see the difference in terms of photo quality.

The first thing we do when we reach Jonker Street - Eat.
Chicken Rice Ball is yum!

Tried a few restaurants for Malacca's signature dish - Chicken rice balls and in my opinion, the best will still have to be Restaurant Chung Wah, the very first restaurant where the origin of chicken rice balls come from. Although I'm not a big fan of steamed chicken, but somehow I like their steamed chicken, and the rice balls are tasteful too. That's why you never see the restaurant empty, and always long queue outside of it. 

It's located at the small roundabout at the entrance of Jonker street. Not a fancy restaurant but they got the taste where you will go back again and again!

Address:

Kota Laksamana18, Lorong Hang Jebat, Melaka, 75200, Malaysia

Stuff 2 heavy meals in just few hours time is really something difficult, and we decided to go for dessert, which is the coconut shake everyone been talking about. Tried to visit the place once but too bad it was closed for Friday prayer so this time, I did my research and decided to visit the shop again during its opening hours. 

Klebang coconut shake.
Without ice cream is Coconut Shake normal where with ice cream is Coconut Shake Special.
Seriously, forgot how much it is. RM2-ish I think.

Yum yums!!!
Love it with vanilla ice cream!

Klebang coconut shake located at Kampung Klebang, a seaside village. It's kinda hard to find the junction to turn into the shop if you're first time there, but just keep an eye on the roadside you will find there's a stall at roadside selling coconut shake so turning into the small road beside the stall and you will reach the shop. The business is running by Malay family so they won't be open during Friday morning till noon and business hours start from 2pm on Friday.

It's kinda far from Jonker street and the main city areas of Malacca, so you will have to possess own transportation to Kampung Klebang. Walking from Malacca town area to the place will be impossible so don't even try.

Jalan Klebang, Malacca, Malaysia

After food and desserts, it's time to explore some of Malacca's historical places. Too bad it was going to rain that day and we don't really have enough time to visit St. Paul's Church up on the hill. Just roughly visited A Famosa below, took tons of silly photos again. lol.

Or maybe I should say I'm the only one who took silly photos.
Friends don't let friends do silly stuff alone, remember???

Loving this cat shop.
Tons of funny cat names and quotes.

Have no idea why there's a T-Rex in front of the building. lol.

Awesome tree is awesome!
More than hundred years old!

Fly me to the moon~

From Jonker Street till A Famosa.

Group photo ala gangster style.

Hahahahaahahahaha~ Speechless!!!

And continue walking, we reached Dataran Pahlawan and its huge field. We spent about half an hour there just because we can't get a satisfying jumping shot of four of us. So hard when using timer to take action shots. Maybe we're just too noob, lol.

Footsteps we made.

Prepare....

It's been 4 months already and the photos of our jumping shots are still not yet being upload by Jason!!! Now only I remember that most of the shots were taken using his DSLR but I've forgotten that he's more procrastinate than I do. Hahaha~ So no shots of jumping photos at the field of Dataran Pahlawan. I doubt that I'll be uploading them in the future too. =/






Then, I remembered it rained that afternoon and we went to Mahkota Parade's branch of Nadeje and chill. I have no idea what's the hype is about for the mille crepes but we still ordered one piece each for ourselves that day. It's not that special and "only-can-get-in-Melacca" anymore as there's a Nadeje branch opened at Jaya 33, PJ months ago.

How many of you have already tried all the flavours that Nadeje have?

Bon Appetite :D

We walked from Jonker Street to Dahtaran Pahlawan to Mahkota Parade and walk back to Jonker Street for its night market. It was kinda tiring but fun. What we did during that 2 days 1 night trip is just eat. Stop by here to eat, stop by there to eat, eat everything we find delicious. lol. So how can we miss what's selling at Jonker88, right?

Cendol!!!!
With super delicious gula melaka! Yums!!!

This Laksa!!! One of the best Asam Laksa I had in my life,

Although you have to queue for quite some time, and hard to get empty tables and seats inside the restaurant, but the food is worth for your time and every cent you spent. Go earlier as some of the food will finish before evening, as this was my experience for going late to Jonker88 for my past 2 visits to Malacca, I only can eat their Asam Laksa but not their Baba Kahwin Nyonya Laksa! Sobs. I will go earlier for my next visit to have what I'm craving for!

Headed to Seremban for its famous Grilled Crab because none of us had that before and since it's on the way back to KL, so we search and asked some friends and got to this restaurant that served grilled crab. But compared to grilled crab, I'm more obsessed with this:

Fried wanton skin with the restaurant's signature chili sauce.
It is OH-EM-GEE delicious I don't know what they used to make the chili sauce so irresistable!!!
Wish I can buy a big jar back to KL with me.

Grilled crab of Seremban.
Kinda Salty, as told by most of my friends who ate before. 

This Malacca trip was the most intense one compared to all my previous trip as we were non-stop eating. In just 31 hours we've already ate 13 times regardless heavy meals or light snacks. LOL. How can not gain weight right? But yeah, overall it was a fun trip and I'm missing the laughter, the beautiful sceneries and the delicious food of Malacca again.





But guess what, I'm heading to Malacca again tomorrow! Wahahaha! Can't wait to stuff all the delicious food inside my tummy!!! YUMS!!!

Hair Prep

Preparation for tomorrow's hairshow competition, gonna model for Snips.

Nothing changes to my hair as tomorrow's competition is more to hair updo, somehow I wish I can change my hair colour or something. Getting bored with my current hair colour, miss those funky colours back then!

Hair treatment now~! Can't damage my hair for now so no bleaching no chemical damage. Is good to give a break for my hair once in awhile I think. lol.

Malaya Optical - The Eye Experience Boutique

Located at Uptown area of Petaling Jaya, Malaya Optical is now in-charge by the third generation of Ho family, and this optical boutique store has been around since year 1957. Originally named as Optik Malaya, Malaya Optical has been through a lot of changes in these few decades and has finally become The Eye Experience Boutique that is one of its kind.

It was an unique experience to be invited to visit an optical boutique, especially when I don't have serious eyesight problem. I seldom visit optical store, so rare that I can count the times I visited one with only one hand. All the optical store I went looks the same, feels the same and even the people working inside talked the same. Guess what, not in Malaya Optical. Upon me and Jean's arrival, we're being greeted by friendly staff with cheerful voice and beautiful looking smile. Good first impression.

Mr. Ryan Ho, the third generation who's currently in charge and running the business of Malaya Optical.

Thanks to OnlyBeauty, Malaya Optical and Tammy from Plus Size Kitten, me and other bloggers got invited to experience the eye-care services provided by Malaya Optical, and it truly amazes me that how the services from Malaya Optical differs so much from other optical shop that aren't really enthusiastic about the business and the industry. Thanks to Mr. Ryan, I get to see how an Optometrist should be and how passionate he is about the optical industry.

Introducing various of brands that brought into Malaysia market that only can find at Malaya Optical.

Mr. Ryan keep showing all the unique designs of the oversea brands of glasses and frames he brought in.

Forget those conventional designs you see in an optical shop nowadays as it is not the way it is anymore. Malaya Optical offers various of unique designs, materials and functionality of a glasses/frames for their customers to a point that I realizes I knew nothing about what's going on in this optical industry. These designs are things I never see before, or at least I never saw people around me own one, which will pretty cool for you to be one of the leader in the glasses/frames trend.

Vintage cat eye style~ Meow!!!

Fishie tried on the butterfly design from the  French brand Parasite. So cool right!!!

Coppe & Sid Handmade design eyewear from Italy.

This thin silver of Lapis Lazuli inserted in the temple is one of the trademark of Coppe & Sid Eyewear.
To be said have calming effect when wearing the eyewear.

The frame of this Lamborghini eyewear are made of bamboo.

Look at this unique handmade carving frame eyewear.
When Mr. Ryan show us this eyewear, most of the girls were amazed by how pretty the frame is!
One of the unique frame of an eyewear I've ever seen.

Malaya Optical offer what normal optical store has and also, on top of that they brought a lot of unique design eyewear that others doesn't. Here are some of the names of eyewear you can find in Malaya Optical: Coach, Tag Heuer, Fendi, Elle, Nike, Bonia, CK, BYWP, John Richmon, Sama, Zero RH, Rudy Project, Moschino, Benetton, Esprit, Max Mara, Rayban, Robert Marc, Sover, Viktor & Rolf, Viviene Westwood, Aha, Andy Wolf, Blackfin, Byblos, Coco Song, Coppe + Sid, Derapage, Derek Lam, Dutz, Eco, Face Fonts, GF Ferrer, Guess, Mykita, Jf Rey, Lafont, Lotto, Masaki, Modo, Parasite, Public, Spivvy, Staffan Preutz, Undostrial, Try Change, White Out Glare, Wolfgang, & Zottes. Amazing isn't? I was stunned by the brands Malaya Optical has.




After showing us the unique eyewear designs, we followed Mr. Ryan to the other corner of the shop to see what other services available at Malaya Optical.

This i.Profiler machine is to detect the curves of your eyeballs so that they can make a perfect match contact lens for your eyeballs and you'll never have the problem of contact lens moving around.
Did I tell you that the whole Malaysia only have few of this machine? Malaya Optical really taking their eye care business seriously!

Vision screening room at Malaya Optical

Little did I know that Vision Screening room of an optical store has a standard measurement of the length  of the room, and most of the optical store didn't fulfill the requirements of an international standard vision screening room measurement. Malaya Optical have this requirement fulfilled as well as they have all the equipments needed to examine your vision. Not to mention that all the optometrists working at Malaya Optical are certified as qualified professional optometrist.

Mr. Ryan telling us more about the knowledges of visions and eye care.

It was such a fun experience to have visit Malaya Optical and to have learned so much about eye care and the professional services Malaya Optical offered to their customers like no where else. I am amazed by their professionalism as well as friendly attitude and passionate about eye care that Mr. Ryan and his staffs showed. Definitely will be my first choice next time if I have to go for vision examination or other eye care services.

Thank you Mr. Ryan, Only Beauty, Tammy and all the bloggers who made the event a fun one!
Posing with Paris Hilton sunglasses, will blog about it next!
