On Sunday afternoon at 2.00pm having a trip with family from Johor Bahru to Malacca through PLUS highway. First destination was Muar. It took about an hour, stopped and rest there and having lunch.
We continued our drive to Malacca. By only more than an hour we had reached Malacca. Malacca road was congested with too many cars, that was during school holiday break. There will be always not many car parks during the school holiday.
There was a hawker stall that selling famous popiah, a fresh spring rolls. We stopped there, and bought some. It was hot and delicious, it cost about RM3.00 per roll.
We did some shopping around the shops. The shops were decorated with Christmas trees and and I could see there were sellers sellling various Chinese New Year decoration items too. My mum had bought some of the decorations for Chinese New Year 2012.
After about an hour of walking, it was near to 6pm. We had decided to do our ride to Jonker walk. Many area of the roads were also congested, so it may required some patience to reach there. The day was near to dark too. There were actually many changes and developments at Malacca. There was a tower built called Menara Taming Sari, with a height of about 100 metres, which offers people to have a sight of historical Malacca city.
Soon we reached to Jonker walk. Jonker walk area was surrounded with historical heritage building shops. It is available on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 6.00pm till midnight. I could see many people were taking photos too. Some of the antique shop owners doesn't allowed people to take photos inside. It was quite a long night markets.
A few walks there was a cafe where people can rest and take foods and drinks inside. The atmosphere here was very crowded and happening.
We felt thirsty and we bought some drinks from a drinks stall. After a while, unfortunately, the rain was starting to fall. All the stalls owners were busy keeping their stuffs away from the rain with umbrellas while other people were searching for a place for shades. It took around 30 minutes for the rain to stop. After the rain had stopped, the people continued their walks and shopping. We decided to take dinner from a hawker stalls that selling asam laksa and cendols.
