Melaka

Most people go to Melaka for it’s famous A Farmosa and chicken rice ball. For me, there are more hidden behind the historical alleys. Remember to stop by Tourist Information Center near to A Farmosa and get yourself a quality detailed map for few ringgit, which is worth the price. The map is constantly updated with latest info and latest drawing of 2 famous shophouses streets, Hereen St and Jonker St.

Talk a walk, and you’ll find delicious Peranakan (Baba & Nyonya) Food. Spend some time to chat with locals and you’ll unveil the beauty of Melaka!
