MALACCA

HISTORIC MALACCA

It was a yearly affair for Sunway College Ipoh, to bring students to Malacca, to participate in a competition, held at MMU.

I was among the three teachers who volunteered to assist the students in getting accommodation, transport, lunch & dinner, and drew up a tour schedule.

DUTCH SQUARE

Upon arrival, we had lunch at the Hoe Kee Chicken Rice – where the ball rice is a popular dish which comes together with the steamed chicken.

Walked over to A-Famosa, Windmill Dutch Square and Clock Tower – for sightseeing and photography session.  

A FAMOSA SQUARE

A Famosa is a former Portuguese fortress located in Malacca, and is among the oldest surviving European architectural remains in Southeast Asia and the far East. The Porta de Santiago, a small gate house, is the only part of the fortress which still remains today.

JONKER STREET

Just take a 10-minute walk across the road from the square – one can reach Jonker Street – a place for shopping of traditional things and souvenir, here.

By afternoon, we stopped by Shore Sky Tower to view the overall scenery of Malacca. Unfortunately, due to bad weather, the tour was canceled.
