Walking In The Dream

I'm not gonna tell you the detail of what we did in the daytime of the day, because we were mostly sleeping. What I can say is...it's better not to walk for an hour under the strong sunshine in a summer day...lol.

So, let's talk about evening~night time!! When we woke up after a long nap, the time was already good for dinner. So we decided to go out searching for a meal. Walking the streets, we found something popular in America or somewhere...like Pizza-Hut, and a couple of stalls...I believe you're sure which we chose to have dinner ;)

After fulfilling our stomach with some local food and fresh juice, we started taking a walk again. When we walked by the riverside, we heard a voice which sounded very relaxing. It was words of prayer. The sound coming to my ears was very comfortable, and the air from the river was very mild and nice. I felt like I could go anywhere I want walking along the river. If I explain my sense at that time, I say, "I felt like I was walking in the sky...or...might be in a dream. It was such an unrealistic experience; walking along the river hearing the Koran. I do miss it and want to put myself in the atmosphere again...if I get a chance. It was a really nice walk at last night in Malacca :)

The Chicken Rice And A Mosque

The second day in Malacca, we went to a chicken rice restaurant that had a looooong line up the previous day. We didn't know that it was a chicken rice restaurant at that time, but the hostel master told us about it, so we got to know. The rice there was shaped balls and we thought that it was very unique. We had never seen it in our few experiences of eating chicken rice, in Singapore lol. They also season the rice and it was actually yummy. We LOVED it!! I highly recommend you to visit the restaurant; KEDAI KOPI CHUNG WAH, if you get a chance to go to Malacca. Even you don't remember the name, I'm sure you won't miss as long as you remember that there is a yummy chicken rice restaurant because everyone knows about the restaurant ;)

After chicken rice, we walked around the area. We found a mosque, and there, a guy from Turkey made a tour for me (my sister was waiting outside). I was worried first when he told me that they wanted to show me the mosque because I thought they were gonna charge me. However, I didn't have to worry about that. There were many Muslims coming from abroad for training, and making a tour to let people know their history and religious view. I'm personally totally not interested in following any religious seriously, however, it's interesting to know about religions as knowledge. After one hour tour (it took much more than I expected!), we headed to the Portuguese Square...and of course we didn't forget to grab some sweets before it :P

Shopping And After Shopping

You know beautiful Indian traditional clothes Saree, right? I've been interested in it very much especially since I bought Ao dai in Vietnam. The Indian store handles lots of Sally...cheap ones and also very expensive ones for bridal. My sister and I were taking a look of the ones at ground floor first, but once we noticed there are much prettier ones upstairs, we started taking a look of them seriously. Yes, they were expensive, but not that expensive. We were sure that if we wanted to buy the same thing in Japan or Singapore, it would cost much more. We tried them on...took pictures (they actually told us to take pictures in every Sally that we tried), and finally picked up one. We noticed that we were there for 1.5 hours after all, lol. Do you think that's crazy? Girls are always very serious when they go shopping ;) We know we don't look as good as Indian women in it, but actually, we were very satisfied with the stuff that we got...which is the most important part :P From the store, we directly went back to the hostel. It was good time for dinner, and we didn't want to carry our pretty clothes that we got.

When we got to the hostel, the owner were sitting outside of the back door where the river is right in front and was talking to a neighbor. My sister and I had dinner at a restaurant which is 2 or 3 blocks from our hostel because the owner recommended. But the food was not so good. Then we thought that he it was because the restaurant owner and the hostel owner are friends, so maybe they recommend each other. Actually, the customers were only tourists. You should note that; Go to stalls that are crowded with locals if you want to get yummy food. I reconfirmed it that time.
