Melaka Trip

Hello from Melaka ! On my recent trip to Melaka, I had managed to take quite a number of pictures for blogging back. For a start, this is the hotel in which our customer was put in - Century Mahkota Hotel. It's just a stone throw away from the Century Mahkota Parade.

The reception area. I had once stayed here before and I would only rate it as mediocre compared to other newer hotels around. But then again, if it's convenient and located at a strategic location, you can never doubt the effectiveness of it in the sense of customer's attraction

The rooms...

Out of the hotel, we drove around 5 minutes to the infamous Jonker Street. That's where we get all our goodies, souvenirs and definitely the Chicken Rice Ball ! (Yum yum !)

This is Jonker Street. The buildings are of the colonial type but seems like the state government had commercialize it a lot since my last visit here

A sign in the middle of Jonker Streets that reads "Happy 2nd anniversary on the declaration of Melaka - historical city"

See that trishaw next to the motocyclist there ? These trishaw is all around the older part of the city. Visitors just need to pay a sum of around RM10 to RM20 for a ride around with it. Mostly run by the elders so if you weigh of a certain amount, I strongly suggest you to drive...

This is supposed to be a press company. My colleagues claimed that this wooden door would cost quite an amount of money - so I just snap a picture of it !

While in Jonker Street, we ended up in the Chicken Rice Ball shop to enjoy the infamous Chicken Rice Ball of Melaka... yum yum !

That's what we had for dinner... Chicken Rice Ball (It's actually rice but rolled into ball shape for easy consumption), Bean sprouts, BBQ Pork and soup (Say... where is the soup eh ?)

After dinner, we went for a bowling tourney with the customers. These 2 chaps are my colleagues. The one of the left is Lawrence (Who flew all the way from Hong Kong) and Hew, our local channel's manager

Now have you wear such a sock for bowling before ?

Eventually our team did not win but I must admit it was quite fun to be there. My highest score for the night (out of 2 games) was only 144. It must be the lane or ball or pins or shoes or gloves or combination of them all ! :P
