📍Address - Makan Avenue, Kampung Hulu, Melaka ✨Highlights - First time try their cendol. The ice texture was very smooth and mix with santan and original gula melaka. It’s delicious and different than common cendol i used to eat. My friend and I purchased 2 types of cendol. 1) Original gula melaka cendol (the normal one) 2) Cendol gula melaka with mangga/mangoes. Both are delicious! This one in photo is cendol mangga. So the topping is slices of fresh mangoes. The normal one has no topping but the taste of gula melaka is enough. 💵💰Avg. Price per Person - Affordable! Price around RM7-15 for different menu of cendol. But if you purchase from apps Klookmy, you can get more cheaper. We got discount so the normal one RM5 and cendol mangga RM8 only. A MUST TRY WHEN YOU CAME TO MALACCA CITY😋 #awesomepic #vacation #deliciousfood #Foodie #tripblazers #explore #cendolkampunghulu #cendol #cendolkampunghulumelaka #malacca #malaccariver #adventure #travel #urbanexplorer

#travel #couplestrip Getting There - It's convenient accessible to get to Estadia Hotel as there's coach bus bay area for pick-up & waiting area. Alighting & boarding of coach bus is just right infront of the hotel though. Attractions - It's only attraction is basically it convenient & easily accessible to nearby Jonker Street & many eateries nearby walkabt & some convenience store like 7-11, family mart to buy stuffs. Hotels - Choose Estadia Hotel because of it's convenient location & nearby attractions. Outlook looks Ok & good but inside the room looks rather rundown & old. Need a good renovation upkeeping to maintain otherwise it's still average. Food & Restaurants - Food use choices alot and many at nearby eateries but I've not eaten anything really that WOW or nice in Melaka other than Chendol itself. Basically Spore's food taste much more better still than Melaka. Shopping - Very near to Mohkata Parade & Mega Mall but it looks quite dead town other than the newer mall which have more things to shop.

#newyearvibes Celebrating the New Year with friends at OFFFFive Coffee Melaka was a refreshing experience! The café’s minimalist design and cozy atmosphere instantly made it feel like the perfect spot to relax and catch up. This time, I tried their Black Spanish Latte, and it was a unique delight. The rich coffee flavor blended perfectly with a subtle sweetness and creamy texture, while the black hue gave it such an edgy, modern vibe. It wasn’t just a drink—it was an experience in every sip! What I love about OFFFFive Coffee is how they’ve created a space that’s not only about great drinks but also about aesthetics and comfort. The little touches, from the creative packaging to the stylish decor, made the visit even more memorable. If you’re looking for a unique café to kick off the New Year with good vibes, great coffee, and even better company, OFFFFive Coffee Melaka is definitely worth a visit.

Melaka is a good place to travel with family!!

#markets #100waysoftravel I recently visited the Cat Supermarket in Melaka, and it’s a fantastic spot for cat owners. The store offers a wide range of cat products, including food, treats, toys, and grooming supplies. It’s clean, well-organized, and the staff are super helpful. They assisted me in choosing the best food for my cat and suggested some fun toys. The prices are reasonable, and the variety is impressive. If you love cats or have one at home, this place is worth checking out for all your feline needs. 📍Cat Supermarket 📮 5259C, Jalan Penghulu Abas, Bukit Baru, 75150 Melaka 🕰️Business Hours:Mon – Sun : 10am - 7pm

One of the best hotels honestly. So warm and welcoming, concierge service and reception so efficient. Kids enjoyed the most with a water park/ swimming pool area. Highly recommended for families. The area is easily accessible for amenities because there is a mall attached to it.

Nice cafe

#myhiddengems Strolling around Melaka's city center is like stepping into a time machine with a splash of color! From the vibrant red of Christ Church to the quirky shops on Jonker Street, every corner offers a delightful blend of history and fun. The air is filled with the aroma of street food, and cendol is a must-try as you soak in the riverside vibes. With trishaws adorned in neon lights and upbeat tunes, it's a place where the past and present dance together—perfect for a day of casual exploration!

Good services👍🏻, Just want to give a little suggestion, prepare a more complete spoon or stick.

Nice place to go

I'm so glad to get the opportunity to experience an interactive live theater performance. It's about Peranakan Nyonya. the performance was based in 1800 which is really great! The Heeren Mansion really do justice for the show. I hope I can come again next year. Also a great sightseeing in Melaka and understand history behind it. I would recommend everyone to come down to experience this historical city.

This restaurant offers a cozy environment perfect for family dinners, complemented by friendly staff and reasonable prices. The sushi is incredibly fresh and melts in your mouth, with each dish presented like a work of art. The flavors are perfectly balanced and absolutely delicious, making every bite a delightful explosion of taste and texture. The attention to detail in the ingredients and preparation is impressive, made a wonderful dining experience for me. Highly recommend their palm size salmon sushi and also the inari set! The ingredients are almost overflowing and super fresh, It’s a muslim friendly japanese restaurant too! For sashimi lover, it’s highly recommend to come and have a try! Overall, staff exhibiting a friendly and attentive demeanor, enhancing theoverall atmosphere of the restaurant. Location - Four Wolf Canteen - Malacca

Melaka is small but the tourist attractions are beautiful! Wall art, historical showcases and a river cruise. The river cruise has surrounding buildings that are all painted differently similarly to a continuous historical painting. Close by are the tombs of the Dutch that lived there many years ago. Along the river there are many coffee shops and restaurants to enjoy the local flavors.

#weekendgetaways Exploring Malacca City with friends over the weekend was a delightful escape. Wandering through Jonker Street, we were engulfed in the vibrant atmosphere of Chinatown's bustling night market, filled with the aroma of local delicacies and the allure of antique shops. As we strolled along the cobbled streets, the rich heritage of this UNESCO World Heritage Site unfolded before us, with each architectural marvel and historical landmark telling tales of its storied past. From sampling delicious street food to immersing ourselves in the city's cultural tapestry, our weekend in Malacca City was a journey of discovery and camaraderie.
