Malacca Day 2: Downpour Reincarnated

A quality 4 hours slept was just enough to start a new day. We headed to the town in search for Malaccan breakfast. Instead, we found an old shop offering a variety of "dim sum" (colourful food" hehe... :P). The meal was surprisingly tasty for the price we paid. Among the "dim sums", I think that the best was the "Loh Mai Kai" (cooked glutinous rice served with marinated chicken and mushroom). Then, it started to rain.

We waited for the rain stop before we headed to the Stadthuys. We went in the Malacca Museum to shelter from the "on-off" rain. Wind was blowing heavily when we stood foot at the peak of the Malacca Hill. The rain somehow did not defer us from moving about, instead, we had a great challenging time with the rain. It was a little fun too when the rain came. :) Then, we went shopping again, and headed back to hotel for some rest.

The night, we went to Jonker Walk "again" for dinner at the stalls along the street. We tried a variety of food; Vietnamese noodles, Vietnamese "popiah", "Char Kuey Teow", and "Ho Chien". The food tasted reasonably good. The weather in the night was simply awesome but we were disappointed when the river cruise was not operating due to high water level of the river, mainly caused by the rain during the day. We then drove around the Malacca town and arrived at the Portugese Settlement, a place for good seafood. Everyone started to ahow their tired face liao....

Back at hotel, the water heater somehow spoiled as the supply of warm water started to fail. Pei Wen and I then went to bed without shower. Gosh....
